About Mei

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics in 2013, and my Master of Arts in Multicultural Bilingual Education this past June. My philosophy is that every child is brilliant, who with the right guidance, has the potential to blossom into a driven and self-motivated learner. This is exactly why I am so passionate about education. As you can see in my resume, I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents. This last year, I worked as a teacher in a bilingual charter school in Alcalá de Henares, Spain. Everyday I would help plan and conduct fun conversational activities for students ranging from six to 16 years old. Thanks to my experience in Spain, I am very comfortable working with children in both fully immersive or bilingual settings. Throughout my Master courses I have been able to explore different teaching methodologies and then implement them at my practicum school. I believe in a student-centered approach similar to that of schools in Reggio Emilia. I believe teachers should help guide the students according to the interests of the child. This way the child can be encouraged to pursue their passions and grow to be intuitive intellectuals.
