Welcome back! Orientation day 2024-2025 School Year

Dear Parents,

 My name is Mr. Sorvas, and it is my pleasure to teach your child this year. I am looking forward to a successful and fruitful year together.

 I moved to Taiwan in 2016 and now live in Taipei with my wife and our adorable daughter. This is my fifth year at Lih-Jen, and I have eight years of teaching experience. I am excited to embark on my nineth year of teaching with your child. I believe in setting high expectations for all of my students, as they thrive on challenges and enjoy being trusted to overcome them. Through this journey, students will take ownership of their learning. Together, we will have a fantastic and successful school year.

 Please feel free to visit our class blog at (lihjentheo.blogspot.com). If you have any questions or feedback, do not hesitate to contact me. My contact information is provided below.

 Best regards,

Mr. Sorvas
