TBD Chinese Immersion is a language program that teaches children Chinese based on the progressive education philosophy and project-based method in a small-size class. Instead of using traditional textbooks, the program builds children’s foundations in speaking, reading and writing in Chinese with a focus on “learning by doing”. Through meaningful discussions and creative hands-on projects, students build their own learning portfolio to track their progress. Our learning process allow children to take the initiative to learn and apply their language skills in real life. We honor learning differences and utilize a wide range of teaching strategies to ensure children’s learning success.
Our program objectives are:
Being in the education industry for 20+ years, Ms. Josie is also a mother of three school-age children. She obtained her Master’s Degree in Education at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) and has since been devoting herself in teaching Chinese as a foreign language to students with various language and cultural backgrounds in the United States.
She started her career on the East Coast for almost a decade. Her roles include the Chinese lecturer at UPenn, the Chinese project coordinator at The Lauder Institute/Wharton school dual degree program, and then the lecturer and course coordinator with Princeton University and its Princeton in Beijing program.
After she moved to San Francisco and started her own family, she extended her expertise in teaching Chinese from adult learners to children. She became a teacher at a well-known Chinese immersion international school in San Francisco in 2012. In 2018, she relocated to Irvine and co-founded a highly reputable Chinese immersion preschool in Irvine, California.
Spending decades in classrooms and seeing students’ success and struggles, she truly believes that cultivating positive learning experiences that create happy memories for children into adulthood is the key to their long-term success. With a love of seeing students learn and grow in her classes, Josie feels that it is her mission in life to inspire and guide children on this exciting journey.
Growing up as a Taiwanese child, her plan for the TBD Chinese class is to integrate her teachings skills that promote solid language foundations with abundant meaningful Chinese cultural activities and projects that are dear to her heart.
She can’t wait to meet you and your child, and start this fun and meaningful journey with you!
