Hello, I’m Yan. Originally from Hong Kong, I am a qualified Early Childhood Educator with over 15 years of experience teaching in international school settings. Throughout my career, I have worked with children across different age groups and have also had the opportunity to teach overseas while living in Hawaii.

As an educator, I am passionate about creating engaging learning experiences that inspire curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning. I believe children learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process—asking questions, exploring ideas, and making meaningful connections to the world around them.

Since joining Summerhill, I have deepened my understanding of inquiry-based teaching and learning. I have seen how inquiry empowers children to become independent thinkers, problem-solvers, and lifelong learners. This approach has also shaped my own growth as an educator, encouraging me to continue learning alongside my students every day.

I value building strong partnerships with families and believe that education is most meaningful when children, teachers, and parents work together to support each child’s development. I am excited to continue learning alongside my students and supporting them as they grow into confident, curious, and compassionate members of our community.
