Meet your Mills family

Ni hao ma? 你好嗎？Hello everyone! I am very excited to join Mills as a Mandarin Teacher and can’t wait to meet all the friends in my class! I am looking forward to this new academic year and getting to know every single child through teaching them Mandarin using love, care and fun.

I am from Guangdong and have a Bachelor’s degree in English Education with the University of Hubei and a Master of Arts degree in Chinese Literature from the Hong Kong Metropolitan University. In addition, I have a certificate in the National Putonghua Proficiency Test. I believe teaching children requires patience, love and care as well as many interesting activities that will appeal to them. A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and install a curiosity for lifetime learning.

My love for early years teaching started when I was volunteering to work at Mills. I am so delighted to have the opportunity to use my teaching experience. I do like Chinese stories and enjoy sharing these with Mills children. I have two daughters – and treasure every moment watching them grow. I know that quality early years education builds a strong foundation and prepare children for their future journey.

In my spare time, I love to read with my children, travel and going to concerts with my family. I am delighted to be part of the Mills team and will see you soon!

My name is Sarah and I am an early years educator from Hong Kong. I have been working with young children for around seven years and I am currently finishing up my Postgraduate degree in Early Childhood Education at the University of Hong Kong. I am delighted to be a part of the Mills team and I am looking forward to meeting you all!

I believe that all children (and adults!) are blessed with gifts and talents and as a teacher, I get the wonderful opportunity to be able to bring that out of them and nurture their potential. Young children are also so full of childlike wonder (and sometimes they say the silliest things) which makes my day. The early years are also some of the most important years to lay a strong foundation of knowledge, understanding and skills.

My favourite part of teaching children is also forging relationships not just with the child, but with the family. It always feels incredibly rewarding being able to be a part of a child’s growth throughout the year. Aside from teaching, I also enjoy doing yoga and I have a pet rabbit named Addie (who is always a hit with the children!)

I was born and raised in Hong Kong, and adopted by two loving parents. My mum is American, my dad is British, and I have an elder sister who works for Google in London.  I graduated with a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Early Childhood Education) at the Education University of Hong Kong. Before this I completed a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from Raffles International College Hong Kong.  

I love exploring and trying new things, especially food. At the end of the day I love to go home and prepare my lunch for the next day - it gives me a chance to be creative and indulge in some ‘play time’. I absolutely love hotpot and dim sum. They are my favourite foods in the world!

Creative arts, painting and organising are some of my favourite activities! I am happiest in the classroom whilst teaching art and messy play! I am super organised and have an eye when it comes to displays around the school. I have been teaching at Mills International Preschool for the past eight years, and am passionate about children and very grateful to engage with them every day as a teacher.

Hello. I am Ms Singh and I graduated with a High Diploma in Early Childhood Education from the Education University of Hong Kong. I was born and raised in Hong Kong.

I have always been passionate about teaching young learners. I enjoy being around children with their endless energy and creativity. It is such an amazing experience seeing them grow into such wonderful and beautiful human beings, which is what motivates me to work even harder every day.

As a child, I was always fascinated by the significance of a teacher in one’s life. So that is exactly what I want to do for my students. I want to provide a safe space for them where they can express themselves and learn with different forms of arts.

As for my spare time, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, reading fiction and exploring various types of places in Hong Kong with my friends. I can’t wait to meet you all!

I’m Raphael and I was born and raised in Hong Kong. I am a fluent Cantonese and English speaker. I have a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education from Yew Chung College.

I believe in play-based environments that stimulate young minds and inspires learning. I love seeing children’s eyes light up when they are interested in something – particularly when I sing or read stories to them. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work at Mills to engage with young children and can’t wait to meet the children in my class!

In my spare time, I love dancing, creating and writing stories, and drawing. I enjoy spending time with my family at the weekends and they are often very helpful when I’m brainstorming for new and fun activities for the children.

I am thrilled to be part of the Mills team and look forward to meeting you all soon and playing a key role in helping every child to settle into their classroom with confidence and enjoyment.
