Why did you come to work at PTCS?

Pui Tak has always held a special place in place in my heart because my neighbors and piano teacher were members of Chinese Christian Union Church (CCUC), the church that has a close relationship with PTCS. They are very good people and exemplify Christian charity. I always admired how CCUC invested quality time with the youth group. So in 2022, after COVID, I came to work as an after school care teacher and a substitute teacher. I feel so blessed to be part of the PTCS school community. The teachers and staff are the best people I have ever worked with.  

​

What are your favorite moments with students?

I love coming to work everyday and having the privilege to teach such wonderful children.
