Chinese New Year is a wonderfully vibrant and colorful celebration! It is also known as the Lunar New Year and is a spring festival that is celebrated in January or February every year. The celebrations for the Chinese New Year last 15 days and include dragon dances, lion dances, exchanging gifts, and large firework displays. The festival traditionally ends with a lantern festival on the 15th day.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Indiana University Bloomington
Hello! Nihao你好! My name is Chen. I’m originally from China and I am a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese. I have a Masters of Science in Elementary Education (Early Childhood Education track) from Indiana University Bloomington and got my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education in China earlier before I moved to the US. I am now pursuing my second Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction.
I have been teaching for 12 years in the US in a variety of school settings. I was a Pre-K lead teacher teaching immersion Mandarin Chinese along with IB(International Baccalaureate) PYP (Primary Years Programme) at an International School in Indiana for 5 years. I have taught Pre-K at a preschool in Indiana and taught Pre-K - Second Grade students Mandarin Chinese at a Chinese Language School in Tennessee. I started my online teaching journey teaching Mandarin online for over three years.
I have experience working with a wide range of students in terms of age, Mandarin Chinese proficiency, and individual academic needs.
I love teaching! My teaching philosophy is providing kids with fun, engaging, open-ended, process-oriented activities that value PLAY as the method of learning. My goal is to provide a comfortable yet stimulating environment for lifelong learners. Recognizing that every kid is special and has different learning styles, I will implement various methods and differentiate my class content, process and instruction to meet individual needs. I will provide young kids play-based, inquiry-based and hands-on learning opportunities to explore the language.
Please don’t hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you in the classroom soon!Reviews
