Yilu Xie

Yilu joined Stamford after teaching International Baccalaureate to fifth graders for 4 years. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Chinese language and literature from Jilin University and a Master’s degree in English literature from the University of Southampton. Yilu was also trained to be a teacher at SOAS University of London. She is passionate about creating a safe and mindful environment and facilitating a learning community where compassion is highly valued, and students are encouraged to grow as life-long learners and global citizens.

Yilu says, “I believe that collaborating bilingually with students and teachers of international backgrounds happens through immersion and mutual understanding of different cultures. It allows for efficient and long-term knowledge of bilingual learning. I want to instill and model a growth mindset and open-mindedness with my students, which will help them become a well-rounded 21st-century learner.”
