My name is Candy! I was born in Hong Kong, lived in the upper part of Canada where I could see the Northern Lights, and moved down to California to pursue sunshine and graduate studies at Stanford University. 

 

Reasons for starting Hoppity Learning:

Sometimes, it takes just one person who believes in you to unlock your potential. For me, that person was my father.

​

In 5th grade, I was more interested in TV than studying, resulting in me ranking 26th out of 30 in my class. After a parent-teacher conference, my father, instead of expressing anger or disappointment, focused on my strength of working hard and encouraged me to use this strength to overcome my weakness of being addicted to screen time. I am deeply grateful to my father for teaching me emotional intelligence skills such as managing disappointment and building self-confidence. His support and affirmation led to a remarkable improvement—I climbed to the top of my class in the next report card, surprising everyone, including myself. This experience was a turning point, eventually leading me to Stanford University.

​

However, Hoppity isn't about my journey—it's about empowering your child through emotional intelligence and parental support for school success without stress.

​

How will you shape your child's story? How will you transform your child's setbacks into triumphs?

​

A tragic suicide attempt by a high schooler I once taught underscored the critical importance of early emotional intelligence education and the pivotal role of parental support in shaping a child's future in competitive settings.

​

At Hoppity, we specialize in fostering emotional intelligence, using the latest brain science research to assist both parents and young children in achieving school success. Our goal is to equip your child with emotional intelligence skills, fostering school success without stress, and contributing to a better world!
