Hello! This is Nieh Laoshi (Teacher Nieh). I'm originally from Taiwan, I graduated from teachers college and came to the US in 1985. I was actually a biochemist before I returned my career to teaching! I have been teaching since 2004 - I have single subject credentials in Mandarin, Mathematics, and Chemistry. My Mandarin curriculum involves both language and cultural learning, so that students can not only learn the language but also have the cultural experience and develop a broader vision of the world. I have high expectations for my students and want to make sure they reach their full potential! - Undergraduate: Kaohsiung Normal University in Taiwan, Major in Chemistry - Graduate: Nanjin Normal University in China, Major in Chinese Literacy
