Affiliations

  • Voluntary experience in Sacramento Elementary School, located in Portland, Oregon. I worked as a voluntary teaching assistant from January to February in 2019. During that time, I tutored students to complete their homework after class, assisted the teacher to guarantee students' safety and helped to do teaching admission tasks every weekday. From this experience, I have an initiated idea of the concept of American education, and started to have interest in working in such student-centered educating environment.
