Pei Hsuan Tsai 蔡佩軒

I am a fluent Mandarin Chinese speaker that was born and raised in Taiwan by parents who were both teachers, and their passion for teaching inspired me to also become a teacher.  Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by teachers and had many opportunities to observe and learn different teaching styles and philosophies from many teachers, including my parents.  I was able to implement these lessons and develop my own teaching strategies while employed as a long term substitute teacher at a Taiwanese elementary school teaching English to first through fourth graders.  I loved the challenge of teaching students a new language which led to me coming to the United States to pursue and ultimately earned a Master’s Degree in Teaching English as a Second Language.
