Be the Best You Can Be
Jenny Gao
Hello! I am Jenny Gao, the founder of Gao Chinese Culture Academy.
In 1993 I graduated from Shijiazhuang Teachers College in China with a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been active in academics for 25 years. I am knowledgeable in children's psychology and have accumulated many experiences.
I moved to Atlanta, Georgia, from Beijing, China, in 2015. Since then, I have been engaged in Chinese cultural dissemination and language education. I have taught private lessons in Atlanta for many years. During these years of teaching Chinese in the United States, I discovered that families face significant challenges, including the lack of a natural, immersive Chinese environment in their daily lives. I also realized that typical Chinese language instruction causes children to lose interest and motivation to learn long-term. As a result, I altered my approach. Two years ago, I began integrating art, drama, and food into my daily teaching with great success! Students are intensely interested in my Chinese class and look forward to returning.
My mission is to make sure as many children as possible benefit from my journey and discoveries as a teacher; thus, Gao Chinese Culture Academy was born 😊!
When I rest, I like reading, taking care of my garden, hiking, and riding a motorcycle for trips with my husband.
Hong Ren
After graduating from the prestigious Tsinghua University, I have enjoyed opportunities to teach and demonstrate my talents in the field of art and culture around the world. After 30 years in Beijing, I moved to the U.S.A. in 2016 with my husband to expand my experiences and opportunities. Teaching has always been a part of my career, from classic classroom style to private tutoring and instruction in my studio.
I like all kinds of plants and animals. My backyard has 50 hens of different varieties and all sorts of organic vegetables and fruits. And I enjoyed sharing my organic eggs, vegetables, and fruits with my friends and family.
Welcome my students and parents to my little farm when you can!

Wang Yiwen
I am an enthusiastic Mandarin Teacher with over 15 years of language teaching experience of delivering quality instructions to beginning and intermediate level students. I grew up in Nanjing, China. In 2008, I started to work as a teacher teaching Business English, from which I gained rich foreign language teaching experiences and found my passion in teaching as well. In 2012, I pursed advanced studies in the University of Edinburgh in the UK where I obtained my Master’s degree in Language Teaching. Since I moved to Georgia in 2015, I have been teaching Mandarin to both adults and children. Believing in the importance of the motivation in language learning, I am always committed to maximizing learning opportunities by keeping my students actively engaged and motivated in class. I like travel and music. I play piano and guzheng, a traditional Chinese musical instrument.
Mengxin
My name is Mengxin. You can call me EMMA. I currently live with my family in Alpharetta. Before moving to the U.S., I worked as a teacher in China, where I taught Chinese language and mathematics.
My teaching experience has enabled me to work with children of diverse learning styles, and I consistently strive to make learning both effective and enjoyable.
Now that I am in the U.S., I am eager to continue sharing my knowledge, especially in Chinese language education. I look forward to new opportunities where I can help students learn and appreciate the Chinese language and culture.
