Meet Our Teachers

Michelle is the main teacher in our learning center. She grew up in Taiwan and graduated from National ChengChi University in Taipei, Taiwan, ROC. She worked as a high school teacher and taught Computer Science and Business for 5 years in Taiwan. 

In 1999, Michelle attended a university in southern California to study Computer Science and received her Masters degree in 2001. After marriage, she homeschooled her own children for 13 years. As a homeschool mom, she understands the struggles children have with math and foreign languages, so she founded Learning Horizon to share her specialty in math and Chinese.

Michelle was certified by the State of Washington as a certified Chinese teacher and English Language Learner (ELL) teacher.
