Qiao, Hongju

Hello! I am Hongju Qiao. My English name is Grace. When I first came to Jie Ming for an interview, I felt a sense of intimacy here, and there were many novelties that attracted me. I am honored to be a teacher at Jie Ming. At the same time, I have also fulfilled my long-cherished wish of returning to school to teach and educate people.

As early as 25 years ago, before my husband and I came to the United States to study, I was a teacher at Hebei Normal University of Science and Technology in China. There I taught Accounting courses and the teaching experience broadened my horizons, helping me understand the responsibilities of a teacher, and also making me deeply fall in love with the profession of teacher.

After coming to the United States in 1998, I continued to study Accounting courses, and after 10 years living in the US, our family moved back to Beijing, China in 2006. I worked for an American company in Beijing for several years. 

In 2018, I moved back to MN with my family and  I am fortunate to have the opportunity to work in Jieming as a teacher. I have been teaching second-grade children since 2020. I really enjoy my life in Jieming. I like children from different ethnic groups, and I am happy to teach them my mother tongue-Chinese and Chinese culture. I like our leaders and colleagues, and working with them inspires me to grow continuously and makes me more confident to become an excellent teacher.

As an educator, I believe that every child has the potential to excel when provided with a supportive and stimulating environment. My goal is to cultivate curiosity, encourage collaboration, and instill a love for lifelong learning. As an educator, I am committed to fostering a community of learners where every child feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential.

 I am willing to continue to learn and grow with the children!

谢谢 !
