Luna has worked as a Mandarin teacher for one year in Aberdeen, UK during her master's degree in education from Wuhan University. After graduation she worked as a primary school English teacher for two years in Hangzhou. These valuable teaching experiences at home and abroad not only help Luna to further understand the characteristics of the Chinese and British teaching system, but also lay the foundation for her future teaching.
As a Mandarin teacher, Luna has been responsible for delivering lessons to 252 pupils aged 4 to 11 in a UK primary school, as well as carrying out China-related cultural activities at the Confucius Institute of the University of Aberdeen. Luna has guided pupils to participate in the New Year poster competition and achieved the top three of P1-P3 in Scotland. She has also organised 18, 5-7-year-old students to participate in the Chinese New Year celebration, and the performance was a great success. Seeing the children perform confidently on the stage, Luna felt that nothing could be happier than this.
Luna joined Hiba Community in 2019. In terms of teaching, Luna has designed teaching aids such as menus and flying chess according to students' learning styles (visual, auditory and kinaesthetics learners), and guided students to construct mind-map by designing Mini Books and Flap-books. In addition, she has also designed the "time-out box”to help pupils face up to their feelings and reasonably release their emotions. Through the "sound level card", she has guided pupils to learn to use the appropriate volume in different occasions. In her spare time, Luna has actively reflected on teaching, and through her own efforts, she has successively obtained the International Baccalaureate Certificate in Teaching and Learning (IB-PYP), and the Certificate in English Language Teaching-Primary (CELT-P). As her education motto says: teaching is a lifelong learning career, which encourages her to move forward.
Luna is very kind, helpful and considerate. People who know her are impressed by her bright smile. She is enjoying accompanying our children to become caring thinkers, responsible citizens and happy lifelong leaners in Hiba Hangzhou community.
