Brilliant Kids Education
BK Chinese
To provide students with the most nurturing learning experience possible.
Founded by Dr. Li in 2019, BK Chinese (formerly LittlePalm Chinese) is committed to cultivating a supportive and empowering environment where children can thrive as language learners. Drawing on her deep expertise in Chinese linguistics and decades of experience teaching Chinese as a second language, Dr. Li is devoted to creating meaningful and effective learning experiences. At BK Chinese, we put students first. We believe in the power of personalized learning, adapting our teaching methods to each child’s background and fostering a genuine love of language through intrinsic motivation. We believe language learning should be both joyful and enriching. With a thoughtfully crafted curriculum, up-to-date materials, and small class sizes, we provide a premium educational experience. Our ultimate aim is to build a collaborative learning community where students can confidently explore the five “C” standards: Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities.

Our Teacher
Shan Li, Ph.D. in Chinese Linguistics from East China Normal University, has over twenty years of experience teaching Chinese as a second language. Her students range in age from two to sixty years old. Incorporating the Reggio Emilia approach, Shan’s teaching is student-centered, encouraging, and focused on unlocking each student’s potential.
Shan is skilled in public speaking, handcrafting, drawing, calligraphy, and singing—skills she thoughtfully integrates into her lessons to make learning engaging and effective. She curates her teaching materials from a variety of sources, including 马立平中文, Jinan Zhongwen, and other widely used textbooks, believing that each resource has its strengths and limitations that directly impact learning outcomes.
