Hi I am Xiao Wang, I go by Mini, nice to meet you at the Bohua Family. I have years of Mandarin-teaching experience in both China and the U.S. I've led Chinese festival celebrations for local schools and universities in Colorado, and am extremely patient with young learners and with children who start out shy or reticent. I like hiking, painting, baking and sharing Chinese culture. Can't wait to see everyone in my fun class! 

Hey!This is Tingting Liang, and you can also call me Alice. I was born and raised in China and moved to the United States two years ago. Although I am new to formal teaching, I am a proud mother of a wonderful four-year-old daughter. Being a parent has given me a deep understanding of young children’s emotions, learning styles, and developmental needs. I truly enjoy spending time with children and believe that the best learning happens when kids feel happy, safe, and curious.

I am passionate about sharing the Chinese language and culture through play, stories, songs, and hands-on activities. I look forward to creating fun and meaningful learning experiences in my classroom and helping children build a lifelong love for Chinese.

Born in Hong Kong and raised in Georgia, Curli attended Chinese School from age 5 through high school. This experience left her feeling deeply connected to her roots and fostered a strong sense of belonging within a community that shared their Chinese heritage.

Now, she is passionate about creating and sharing this same enriching experience with others, hoping to build a space where their heritage is celebrated and cherished.

Hello! I’m Hangyan Chen, a physics educator and former associate professor who treasures every opportunity to support students’ growth and learning journeys. You can call me Mrs. Chen. I graduated from East China Normal University and have taught IGCSE/A Level science, as well as carried out international K–12 courses studies. Over nearly two decades across China, the United States, and New Zealand, I have worked in middle school, high school, and university classrooms. I designed and taught courses on curriculum standards, textbook analysis, lesson design, practicum, research methods, and supervised master’s theses on textbook analysis, experimental assessment, interdisciplinary practical ability, and scientific thinking development. Now I’m back learning alongside a room full of curious kids, and I really love it! Rooted in culture, I enjoy helping students use Chinese to understand culture, science, and other subjects, building confidence in both language and learning. I also love showing kids how Chinese helps them ask questions, compare ideas, and share discoveries. As a mother of two, I believe in the mutual growth of adults (teachers) and learners (kids): through steady encouragement and trust, I hope to help children strengthen their Chinese while growing alongside them. I’m excited to work with the wonderful colleagues at Bohua family to create fun, clear lessons that help kids build language and confidence in a happy, supportive environment. I warmly invite your feedback and suggestions for improvement. Together, we can support every child’s growth.

My name is Shen Fangfang. I was born and raised in China. I later came to the United States to study and work for many years. Although I have no formal Chinese teaching experience, I have some experience as a substitute teacher at Bohua. I look forward to working with your children.

Hi, this is Szu-Wei Lee. I was a middle school teacher in Taiwan for 14 years. I have been homeschooling my children in Mandarin since they were little, and they are now fluent Mandarin speakers.

My teaching philosophy focuses on using basic, practical, and daily-life events to help students learn Mandarin effectively. Learning through singing a song or watching a video is also a great way to master a language. 

Learning Mandarin can be hard but I would like to help students discover their own best way to learn and enjoy the learning and provide a safe and fun learning space for all.

Hello, everyone! (大家好) I’m Jing Lu, and you may call me Mrs. Lu or 静静老师（Teacher Jing

Jing). My first job was as an English teacher in Shanghai many years ago. Now I am back to the classroom to have fun with you mainly in Chinese. 

To better teach you, I spent a few months on learning how to teach Chinese. Finally I passed the written and oral tests before obtaining the CTCSOL certificate (国际中文教师证书)。In the classroom, we may learn Chinese language through Listen, Speak, Reading and Writing (听，说，读，写)。 Sounds so hard, but you will make progress when you keep trying.Also, I’d love to say thanks to the parents. 

Thank you for supporting your kid(s) to learn Chinese language and culture. We may work as a team to help them if needed.

Hi Everyone. Welcome to Bohua! My name is Yiqiao Chang. You can call me Elaine while students can call me Chang Laoshi (Teacher Chang). I started to teach in Bohua/CTE 12 years ago when my first kid was born. Now I am a mother of two.

 I love the Chinese language and enjoy trying out new teaching ideas with kids. I believe language is the key to knowing the culture. It will be my great privilege to help your kid(s) to know more about our language and culture. 

My hobby is reading, writing and quiet nature hikes. Let’s explore together not only with book lessons, but also with games and voiceover stories.
