My name is Yu (Erin) Miao. I was born and raised in China. Before I came to the US，I earned my Bachelor’s degree in English Education and taught ESL at the college level for three years. I pursued my Master’s degree in Special Education at Auburn University, AL. After that I taught remedial reading at Opelika Middle School, AL for a year. I started my Chinese Immersion teaching in Princeton, NJ. I taught Kindergarten and First grade for three years at YingHua International School. This will be my 14th year teaching at Waddell/ S.A.I.L. I have great passion in language immersion because I have witnessed how immersion education benefits the students cognitively, linguistically and socially.
When I’m not teaching, I enjoying reading, cooking and spending time with my family.
