Teachers are responsible for the healthy growth of every child and for providing them with an amazing education. The academic team at Hiba Nantong will be made up of highly skilled foreign and Chinese leaders and teachers whose expertise and experience will ensure the provision of top-quality education.
Let's meet several teachers from Hiba Academy Nantong:
Kristen Xing

Kristen Xing received a PGCE from Durham University UK, Master’s of Accounting and Finance in Latrobe University Australia and a Bachelor of Arts from Tianjin Foreign Studies University. Kristen also holds an international certificate for teaching Mandarin to foreigners, a Secondary Teacher’ Qualifications and a Homeroom teacher’s certificate.
Kristen worked in Wellington College International Tianjin for almost 10 years as a bilingual class teacher and year group lead. And had rich experience as a homeroom teacher as well as a bilingual teacher, especially good at teaching Math, IPC and ELA.
Kristen strongly encourages pupils to actively engage in independent thinking. She hopes that every pupil is special and that they will have a positive and sunny personality, the ability to think independently, and the courage to inquire.
Catherine Ding
Primary Chinese Teacher
Catherine Ding graduated from Shanghai International Studies University with a master's degree in Chinese International Education and holds the title of primary and secondary school teacher. Catherine is also a member of the Communist Party of China. She was a volunteer Chinese language teacher and sent by the Confucius Institute Headquarters to teach at an international school in Madrid, Spain.
Catherine went on to teach at different international schools and bilingual schools in China where she was the IBPYP coordinator. She is familiar with both domestic and international curricula and has been teaching for many years. Catherine hopes pupils will leave their Hiba bilingual education, not in a bubble of elitism, privilege, and exclusivity, but with the moral values and social conscience to serve others and do good in life. This inclusivity includes a strong pride in coeducation, and a commitment to understanding and appreciating our place as global citizens.
Catherine likes to travel. During her working period in Europe, she used her holidays to travel around European countries and experience the local customs of each country, and when she returned to China, she also used her holidays to bring her children to enjoy the beautiful scenery of China.

Avery is open-minded to understand, respect and accept different learning styles and cultures. Reading is one of her ways to keep calm and relax. Traveling is another way to have her eyes opened to the world. Words cannot express how excited she is to join Hiba Academy Nantong, as a professional and well-equipped school. She is looking forward to starting her upcoming journey in her own country.
