Yinghua Academy has an exceptional roster of employees, including our administrators, teachers, educational assistants, and support staff. We value and cultivate those who have strong teaching skills, who care deeply for children, and who are dedicated to the learning of all of our students. All of our immersion teachers have native or near-native fluency in Mandarin Chinese.
Please note that teachers may not respond to emails during the summer.
