祝天下所有母亲:节日快乐！

English Hound (www.EnglishHound.com) is a NY based online tutoring company specializing in teaching students critical reading and writing skills.  Its Founder and CEO will give a presentation on: (1) why it is important for students to learn critical reading and writing skills from an early age; and (2) share reading and writing tips with the use of video demonstrations.

讲员简介：Founder and CEO Haewon Helen Whang is a graduate of Cornell University and Boston University School of Law. She practiced law as a commercial litigator for ten years until she founded English Hound, an online tutoring company born out of her love for teaching, reading, and writing.  She hopes to share the principle that while academic achievement is important, a true passion for learning will promote lifelong advancement.  As CEO of English Hound, Helen has a broad range of responsibilities, but her main focus is to seek out and hire teachers who are smart, experienced and encouraging, and most importantly, can inspire children to learn.

主持人：曾爽（Shirley Zeng）
