Introducing the Hiba Academy Nantong Teachers - Part.8

Tingting Ge holds a master’s degree from Shanghai JiaoTong University in Teaching Chinese to Foreigners as a Second Language. After graduating from university, she began her teaching journey as a primary teacher in New Zealand. Then she started to work in IB school since 2013. Before joining WCC, she was a secondary Chinese teacher teaching language acquisition, language and literature at international schools in Shanghai and Bangkok. During the past ten years, Tingting has been teaching children of all ages from Year 0 to Year 12.

Tingting Ge was certified by Lynn Erickson and Lois Lanning as an Independent Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction trainer in 2022. She co-authored ‘The Inquiry Strategies in Teaching Languages (Use IB MYP Chinese Language Acquisition & Language and Literature as an Example). She is currently writing a Concept-Based textbook for IBDP Chinese B students. Writing can be struggling sometimes but it also keeps her thinking all the time. Tingting is enthusiastic about Concept-Based pedagogy and would like to develop and implement a Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction in language classrooms.

During her spare time, Tingting loves experimenting and trying out new things. She likes playing golf, squash, travelling, painting, camping, and hiking. She enjoys all kinds of outdoor activities. It is overly exciting for her to move to a new place. She is looking forward to living and exploring in Nantong City.

Irene holds a bachelor’s degree in preschool education. When she was in college, she went to Denmark for exchange study for about one year. And she received a diploma from VIA College in Denmark. In Denmark, Irene studied and practiced in a local nursery for a period of time, which was a very unforgettable time for her. There, she played with local children and learned lots of foreign early childhood education concepts and methods. When she came back to China, she worked as a nursery teacher in a nursery in Nantong for 3years. During this period, she gained rich work experience and mastered the skills of communicating with children and parents.

During her spare time, Irene likes painting, handcraft, photography and watching movies. She thinks these are effective ways to relax.

Mary graduated with her bachelor’s degree from Nantong University in preschool education. She has been dedicated to bilingual nursery for the past four years. Before joining Hiba, Mary was the head teacher in a bilingual nursery which was located in Xuhui, Shanghai. She was very happy to help Israeli kids in toddlers quit pacifiers and Taiwanese girls in K1 quit diapers. She was delighted to do something good to help children grow up. She established a good relationship with children’s parents in  Hiba Nursery Nantong.

During her spare time, Mary enjoys travelling and reading. Travelling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books are both important for her.

Selina Hao comes from Inner Mongolia. She graduated from Dalian Nationalities University where she majored in Chinese language and literature.

Since graduating, Selina has worked as a Chinese language teacher and as a librarian’s assistant at the Dalian American International School. Those three years working experience enriched her knowledge of how to operate a library. Selina is fond of reading and cooking.

She thinks the most important things in life are enriching life experiences and finding a form of personal peace.
