Maxwell Li
Vice President
Hello! My name is Max Li, and I am the VP of Heritage Bridges. I am excited to be teaching the Senior English class this year! I am a 12th-grade high school student and this is my third year teaching Immigrants English. Because I grew up in Winchester, I have also spent 10 years learning Chinese at the Winchester School of Chinese Culture (WSCC). Other volunteering work I have done includes over 100 hours of hospital work, 45 hours of farming work, and assisting Winchester Chinese School teachers in their lessons.
Alex Zhang
Director
Hi, my name is Alex Zhang and I am the director of Heritage Bridges. I am currently a Junior at Belmont Hill School, an all-boys school in Belmont. I currently teach Sunday classes, and plan to design more types of interactive lessons, as teaching is one of my passions. I spent a lot of time with my Grandma growing up, and she taught me how to speak Chinese. She doesn’t know how to speak English, so I decided to start teaching her and eventually other seniors English.
Alanna Lee
Curriculum Manager
Hi, my name is Alanna! I'm currently a Junior at Winchester High School, and two of my biggest passions are baking and working with children. These activities truly bring me joy and represent the kind of person I aspire to be. I not only teach children but also assist senior citizens in learning English. Many of these seniors face daily language barriers, and I help them improve their English skills to navigate day to day activities. I’m aiming to pursue a career where I can make a real difference in people’s lives, whether that’s in the medical field or by working directly with children.
