Ms. Li has been teaching Chinese language in private and public schools in the New York area since 2007. Ms. Li holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Chinese Language and Literature, and a Master’s Degree in Computer Science.
Ms. Li moved to the U.S. with her family from China over ten years ago. She became curious about the U.S. education system as she observed a group of 9th graders hold a charity drawing contest and exhibition raising funds for Indian children to go to school. It was successful, raising about $1700. This inspired Ms. Li, in 2005, to take an education methodology class at Rutgers. In 2006, Ms. Li received her teaching Chinese Certificate of Eligibility of New Jersey.
As a teacher, Ms. Li believes that every student brings to the classroom his or her unique interests, abilities and talents, and has the potential to learn and achieve his or her personal best. It is vital to provide the students a safe, informative and entertaining learning environment. A student who is respected, challenged and excited is more likely to take the ownership in the learning process. Every effort should be made for a teacher to facilitate students in developing their abilities to reach the maximum potential.
