🍎 Identification: For safety reasons, kids must turn on their camera and visually identify themselves, at least once at the beginning of class. 
🍎 Time: Classes will begin on time, even if all learners are not yet present in the classroom. Please make sure little panda pals are ready to go.
🍎 Mute: I will mute all students ONLY when needed to minimize background noise. Please make sure your kid either knows how to mute/unmute or you help them during class so they are able to share when it's their turn. Thanks in advance to make our class go smoothly! 

Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I will try my best to fit your needs!

I cannot wait to meet you at our PandaPal clubhouse and meet PaoPao the Panda and his friends!

Learning Goals

Students will immerse Mandarin Chinese with fun and engaging learning activities and be able to count numbers from 1-20, speak basic Chinese vocabularies, recognize simple Chinese characters, and do simple greetings. This class is also aiming to build their interest and confidence in speaking Chinese.

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!
