Ms. Yeung
Meet the Accelerated Achievers' 3rd-5th grade Math Lead Instructor
& Math Curriculum Specialist, Ms. Yeung!
Ms. Yeung has been teaching around the world, which has allowed her to learn just as much from her students and their cultures as they have learned from her. She loves weaving bits of the world into her classroom! When she’s not teaching, you’ll likely find her enjoying some quiet solitude outdoors in the sun, experimenting with new baking recipes (her kitchen has seen both triumphs and "learning experiences"). Ms. Yeung is endlessly curious about food, culture, and traditions—especially when traveling—and strives to bring that sense of curiosity and openness into everything her students do in class.
