TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Hi Everyone, my name is Ms. Avrick. I’m so excited to enter my 11th year teaching elementary Mandarin Chinese at a public school in Chicago. I am originally from Washington D.C. When I was 19 I moved to Hong Kong to work for a charity in the Philippines. After one year in Asia I had fallen in love with the Chinese language and culture. I lived in Greater China for another 6 years in places like Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. While in Asia, I worked in education, non-profit, and finance. I double majored in Economics and Chinese with a minor in Asia Studies at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. Most recently I received my masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University.
