Meet Suzy 老师
Hello! I’m Miss Suzy (many of my favorite people call me Suzy lǎoshī) and I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m mom, teacher, curriculum creator, playmate, and Chinese enthusiast. I love teaching my children and I love teaching preschool. I want my kids to be bilingual in Mandarin and I want to share that opportunity with as many families as I can – near and far. So I have an in-home preschool for near and YouTube, printable resources, and teaching ideas for those far. Get to know more about me by clicking HERE.
