Ms. Liu brings creativity and imagination into her teaching, striving to build a strong, positive, and achievement-oriented classroom culture. She views her classroom as a living community, where students are encouraged to learn, collaborate, and develop independence. By providing meaningful resources and opportunities, she helps students grow academically while also building confidence and a sense of belonging.

Her teaching approach emphasizes proactive classroom management and student voice. Ms. Liu encourages students to express their ideas, think critically, and contribute to a respectful and supportive learning environment. She believes that when students feel comfortable and valued, they are more willing to engage, share, and take ownership of their learning.

Outside of the classroom, Ms. Liu enjoys traveling and exploring new cultures. She has visited many places, including Japan, Mexico, Canada, and Alaska, and enjoys connecting with local communities to gain new perspectives. A fun fact: one of her most memorable experiences was hiking to a glacier in Alaska, where after six hours of climbing, she was rewarded with the breathtaking sight of a blue ice cave.
