Yin Hsia
Yin Hsia currently teaches at Las Vegas High School, where she also partners with UNLV to offer Dual Enrollment Chinese courses to her students. Her experiences growing up as an immigrant, studying abroad, serving the Peace Corps in Mongolia, and teaching bilingual education in New York City have shaped her passion for language education leading up to her current position. Yin holds a strong belief that language education can broaden students’ perspectives and create opportunities beyond the classroom. As an educator, she values building relationships and connecting with her students. She motivates and supports her students to do the same by becoming ambassadors of what they learn. She is dedicated to helping students become confident communicators, develop cultural understanding, and recognize the opportunities that language learning can provide.
The Professional Language Association of Nevada is honored to have Ms. Hsia representing the Silver State as the 2027 Nevada World Language Teacher of the Year!
