I was born and raised in China. Before I came to America, I spoke only a little English.
In Beijing, China I was a licensed nurse & worked in a women’s and children’s hospital. As the nursing
industry grew, China needed more nurses who could speak English. So, I decided to come to the USA to
learn English.
Living in America, immersed in daily interactions & culture, enabled me to learn English at an accelerated
rate. This experience showed me how practical and effective an immersive language program can be.
Young children in their early years have the best ability to learn a new language, and the immersive environment at Mandarin Discover Preschool makes the most of this ability.
I love children and I have been teaching Chinese for 4 years as a private school teacher and a tutor. At present, I am teaching and tutoring children aged 18 months up to 10 years, and I have the privilege of sharing Chinese culture and language with these children. Learning a language goes hand-in-hand with learning a culture. It would be my pleasure to help your child to learn Mandarin and enjoy Chinese culture at the same time!

With the spread of globalization, Mandarin has become an important and highly-practical business language for countries around the world. Proficiency in Mandarin yields abundant business opportunities, and those opportunities will be even more abundant with the passage of time. Exposure to this language as early as possible in life can only enhance the skills that will enable our children to eventually thrive in a multi-cultural world. Mandarin Discovery Preschool is an immersion preschool that is located inside the YWCA in White Plains, NY.
We serve children from age 3 up to 5 years, and does not require that its students have prior knowledge of Mandarin. Students are grouped based on their level of proficiency with the language. Our school also teaches traditional Chinese writing known as 'Mao Bi’. We want our students to be able to learn and enjoy Chinese culture.
Our school admits students of any background as long as they are willing to learn Mandarin.
