Li, Yi
你好! Hello!
My name is Yi Li. Students call me Li Laoshi. (teacher Li). This is my fourth year at Jie Ming. I taught Chinese culture classes for K–5 students in my first year and kindergarten class in my second year. I taught first grade in my third year and will teach first grade again this year.
I was born and raised in Liaoning Province, China, and earned both a bachelor's and a master's degree in my home country. After graduation, I taught Chinese at the middle and high school levels in South Korea for two years. In 2010, I moved to America and spent eleven years teaching at a Chinese immersion school. It was always a joy to see students begin to speak in Chinese. I furthered my education by completing a Master of Elementary School Education focusing on dual language and immersion program at the University of Minnesota. I also earned my K-6 teaching license and a master's degree.
Outside of the classroom, I am a wife, a mother to a wonderful daughter, and a daughter to my loving parents. We reside in St. Paul, MN. I enjoy swimming, cooking, traveling, and spending quality time with my family.
I look forward to being your child's teacher and getting to know you and your family this year. I am committed to creating a happy, comfortable, and safe learning environment in our classroom. I firmly believe that each child brings their own unique talents, and I am excited to help your child develop their love of learning this year. I also look forward to working with you to ensure your child's success.
Sincerely,
Li Laoshi ( 李老师)
