About

Shirley's Teaching

My teaching work includes two stages; in the first stage, I taught "College Chinese" as an instructor for 7 years in China. The second stage started with my pursuit of the "E-bridge Cross-cultural and Integrated Art" dream and began in 2007 online and   initially practice in the US since 2009, which has become an important part of my E-bridge Cross-cultural and Integrated Art. Now, it roughly includes three types:

-- Poetry, Painting, and Music of Bilingual Integrated Art   
-- Poetry, Painting, Music: Comprehensive / Integrated and Artistic Chinese   
-- Chinese Painting Art

From September 2009 to December 2025, I have delivered presentations, demonstrations, workshops and courses on E-Bridge Cross-Cultural and Integrated Art, totaling approximately 767 hours across 46 organizations, including:
  
— 2 universities (about 25 hours, 2009–2013, USA);   
— 2 colleges (56 hours, 2010–2016, USA and China);   
— 23 K–12 schools (361 hours, 2009–2020, USA);   
— 3 churches (60 hours, 2016–2025, USA);   
— 3 libraries (22 hours, 2015–2025, USA);   
— 1 hotel (6 hours, 2013, USA which isn’t repeat accounted but belongs in Art institution part.   
— 1 elder healthcare institution (3 hours, 2025, Australia);   
— 9 art institutions (7 in the USA, 1 in China, and 1 in Australia, 72 hours, 2009–2025);   
— 2 E-Bridge Art Studios (in USA and Australia, about 168 hours).   

The total number of students reached exceeds 9,400, of whom over 7,500 participated face-to-face in actual, small-group classrooms.
