Hi, I’m Daniel Chen, the Lead In-Person English Teacher. At Heritage Bridges, I teach Sunday classes for elderly community members, and this is my third year with the program. I help design the curriculum, create lesson slides, and develop interactive activities to make learning both engaging and practical. My interest in teaching English comes from personal experience. Through working at my family’s restaurant, I’ve interacted with many older Chinese immigrants who struggle with everyday English. I’ve also seen my own grandparents face similar challenges after moving to the U.S. These experiences have helped me better understand their needs and motivated me to focus on teaching useful, real-life English that can truly make a difference in daily life.

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 MA. I currently teach Sunday classes, and hope 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.
