Wenyi Chu

Wenyi is a native of Xi’an. In 2004 an English summer program at Xi’an Jiaotong University taught by a group of American volunteer teachers sparked her love of immersion language programs and her belief in experiential learning as a way of life as well as a journey of self-growth and discovery.

Since 2005, she has participated and led various experiential learning projects including: co-teaching with American volunteer English teachers in a rural area in Henan Province; serving as teaching and residential assistant at Harvard Summit for Young Leaders in China (HSYLC); and leading the University of Virginia in Shanghai Intensive Chinese Language Program.

Wenyi is also a Chinese language teacher. Since 2008, she has taught Mandarin at an International Baccalaureate program in a private school in Maryland, the University of Virginia, Brown University, and University of Macau.
