Teacher+Bio


 * Teacher Bio**

My name is Lindsay Van Dike, and I will be teaching Middle School Language Arts, Creative Writing, and 4th grade L.A. this year at American Curriculum Institute.

I moved to Beijing two years ago from Austin, Texas (U.S.A.), and my favorite part about being in Asia is traveling and experiencing adventure everywhere I go.

I previously taught 4th grade at the International Academy of Beijing and 1st grade at Veritas Academy in Austin. I went to Texas A&M for my Bachelor’s degree (gig ‘em!) and Texas State for my Master’s degree in education.

Reading, writing, teaching, and learning are among my greatest passions, and some of my dreams include earning my PhD in Psychology, writing a best-selling book with my twin sister, Lori, helping people who have suffered find victory, freedom, healing, and reconciliation in Christ, and teaching kids and college students around the world.

I love God and my family, and in my free time I enjoy dancing, kickboxing, spending time outside, and trips to the beach. I am really excited to be teaching Language Arts this year at ACI, and I am looking forward to a great year together!
