We are Ms. Dan's Chinese, a Mandarin education institution in Miami, founded by Ivy League graduates. Our mission is to provide high-quality Mandarin education to the local community, helping children and adults develop essential language skills.
While Miami-Dade County’s Asian American population is small (1.6%), there is growing demand for Mandarin education. Ms. Dan's Chinese addresses this by offering Saturday group classes in Brickell, private lessons to private families, and partnering with private schools in Coral Gables to provide Mandarin enrichment.
Our native-speaking teachers hold degrees in education and are skilled Chinese American moms who returned to work after being laid off due to pregnancy. We’re proud to offer them flexible employment opportunities that support their work-life balance.
With this grant, we plan to expand our services by recruiting and training more local Mandarin teachers, developing an online learning platform, creating engaging educational resources, and leasing a dedicated learning space. These initiatives will allow us to serve more students and deepen our impact.
We are requesting $100,000 to cover the costs of teacher recruitment, curriculum development, online platform creation, and leasing space. Thank you for considering our proposal. We look forward to discussing our plans further.
