Lixue Tu (Tutu), is a native Mandarin speaker and an enthusiastic bilingual educator. She holds a BA degree in English Language and Literature from China and an MA degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from the United States. Experience with adult learners made her believe that true love of learning is shaped at a much younger age. She discovered that Montessori schools help children explore their own intrinsic interest in learning and develop lifelong learning skills. Tutu is also a mother of two girls, who are the motivation for her to become a Montessori guide and to open her own Montessori preschool. Her goal is to help raise independent, self-motivated, respectful and socially conscious learners. Tutu enjoys learning about different cultures and languages, and she is a big fan of foods from around the world. She loves living in New England and doing winter sports, as well as camping with her family in the summer. Tutu’s dream is to travel around the world and visit her students in different countries.
