Meet our Chinese Teacher, Michelle!
Michelle was born in Beijing and moved to the U.S. when she was 3, but has kept her Chinese roots strong by going back to China every summer. Mandarin is her first language, and she describes it as a huge part of who she is.
In 2012, she spent time teaching English at a college prep academy in Beijing, helping middle and high school students prepare for studying abroad. That experience showed her how rewarding it is to share not only language, but also culture and confidence ,with students. She later graduated from UT Austin with a Bachelor’s degree in Management Information Systems in 2016.
By day, Michelle works as a product manager in tech, but her passion for language learning has never wavered. She loves introducing others to Chinese language and culture, and as a lifelong learner herself (she’s studied French and Korean), she understands both the challenges and joys of learning a new language. Outside of teaching, you can find Michelle curled up with a book, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, or at a Pilates class.
