Our Chinese program is led by Zoe Zou, licensed U.S. principal and educator who is also a native Mandarin speaker. Our teachers are native Mandarin speakers, foreign language specialists, and internationally experienced educators.
Message from Zoe:
“For the past 20 years, I have dedicated myself to developing and refining our Chinese curriculum. I am proud to have intentionally designed a program that builds strong foundations through structured, personalized instruction. Every lesson, activity, and interaction is thoughtfully planned to support a larger learning journey. I am deeply intentional about curriculum design, lesson planning, language use, and individualized student engagement. Every character and vocabulary word is carefully selected with a clear purpose regarding what is taught, when it is introduced, how it is taught, and why it matters.”
We continuously refine, reflect on, and improve our programs to better support student learning and growth. Our program is tailored to each learner based on their individual needs, cultural background, abilities, and learning style. Every detail is thoughtfully considered to help each student make meaningful, lasting, and confident progress.
We build strong speaking, reading, and writing skills through structured, culturally grounded lessons designed around each student’s learning level and individual needs.
We are available Online and In-Person.
Serving Seattle Eastside: Bellevue, Newcastle, Redmond, Mercer Island, Renton, Kirkland and Issaquah, Sammamish and nearby communities.
