Jerry Chen :: jchen@sileducation.com
Instructor of Mathematics, Science, Health & Fitness
Jerry Chen was born in Taiwan, attended an english school in Hong Kong, and graduated from an American public high school. With a B.S. in Microbiology from UC Santa Barbara, and with graduate work in Exercise Physiology at San Francisco State University, his educational pursuits have always gravitated toward the health sciences and their applications to everyday life.
Jerry emulates the memorable teachers who have made his own scholastic experience so worthwhile. As he emphasizes the "fun" of learning science and math, Jerry strives to do more than educate: he hopes to inspire.
When he's not teaching at SIL, Jerry considers himself a dominant basketball player (when playing with opponents half his height), a skilled linguist in Mandarin and Japanese (when speaking to those who don't speak it), and a virtuoso piano player (his grandparents tell him he is).
