Alex Zhang

Core English Teacher

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. She doesn’t know how to speak English, so I decided to start teaching her and eventually other seniors English. This is my third year teaching English.
