Business Owner
Ms. Kiki Chen has been a passionate, creative, and energetic teacher of both Mandarin and Japanese for over 10 years. She is finishing her Certificate in Teaching Chinese as a Heritage and Foreign Language Program at the National Center for K-16 Chinese Language Pedagogy at UC Berkeley.
