Ms Yayin
Math Program Director and Lead Teacher
Ms. Yayin brings over 20 years of experience in education and a thoughtful approach to teaching. She earned her B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science and later taught Mathematics and Computer Science at the college level in Shanghai before relocating to the U.S. with her family more than two decades ago.​
​
Her passion for early childhood education began when she became a mom, inspiring her to devote her career to helping young learners build strong foundations in both language and math. Families appreciate her patience, her genuine love for working with children, and her ability to turn abstract concepts into clear, engaging lessons.
In her classroom, STEM thinking, logical reasoning, and joyful learning go hand in hand. She often incorporates gamified activities to make math fun, motivating, and confidence-building for every student.
​
Over the course of her career, she has cultivated a teaching approach that combines logical thinking with warmth and clear communication. She focuses on helping students build a solid mathematical foundation, develop confidence, and stay motivated through well-structured lessons and engaging learning activities that encourage curiosity and independent thinking.
​
Outside the classroom, she enjoys exploring new educational ideas, staying active, and spending time with her family. She looks forward to continuing to support each child’s growth and fostering a positive, lasting relationship with mathematics and learning.
