Experience
My first professional teaching started when I was in college in China. I was teaching English as a volunteer in a high school established for girls who suffer from poverty. I still remember the first time when I was standing on the stage in front of the blackboard looking at 20 pairs of eyes sparkling with eagerness to learn; that is when I decided to pursue a life-long career in education. It is also from that moment that I realized that one person can make a difference to society as an educator. From then on, I tried to use any resource that I could access to build up skills for teaching. I taught my friend and my husband Chinese. I worked as a private tutor for high School Maths and Physics in China. I worked as volunteer English teacher in a High School in China.
