ationality：English    Teacher at MIK since： August 2019  What I love about teaching： how rewarding it is seeing your students understand new things and get excited about learning.  What I love most about Beijing：how it has such a strong history of China alongside such a cosmopolitan lifestyle. It is the best of both, you can visit palaces and historical landmarks one day and then go shoe shopping in a huge mall the next. There really is something for everyone. Plus- THE FOOD!  Favourite teaching story：I have had was watching my youngest student learn to do the balance beam unassisted. There was a lightbulb moment where she realized she didn’t need someone to hold her hand anymore and I realized that I was the one who taught her to have that confidence in herself and that I was teaching skills that went beyond jut language.
