About Me

My name is Yanhong Ye. I’m married and have one child. Before moving to the United States, I taught English as a Foreign Language in China for 12 years. In 2005, I became the first Chinese teacher at Smith Language Academy, where I launched the Chinese program. In 2008, my family relocated to Canada, and I spent three years teaching Chinese in Ontario. I returned to Waddell in 2011, where I designed the first middle school Chinese immersion curriculum and established the middle school Chinese Exchange Program.

I’m a National Board Certified Teacher. In the 2018–2019 school year, I was honored as Teacher of the Year and named one of eight finalists for the Southwest Learning Community Teacher of the Year.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading (all genres except horror), swimming (still a beginner!), and gardening (though I don’t claim a green thumb). Most of all, I love spending time with family and friends.
