Summary

I am a dedicated bilingual educator with a passion for fostering language acquisition and cultural exProven ability to create engaging lesson plans, manage diverse environments, and adaptability for a dynamic setting.setting. Strong organizational and communication skills honed through teaching, mentoring, and administrative roles. I have experience in curriculum support, student assessment, and collaborative teamwork in educational settings. I see this as an opportunity to leverage my experience with Mandarin and English for children who are going through similar linguistic challenges. My struggle with this language- its characters, tones, and idiomatic complexities has endowed me with a unique perspective that I hope will help me along with this teaching assistant opportunity.
