Nǐhǎo, 你好，Hi, Olá, Hola, Bonjour!
After a big break, your Prof Dora is back!
I am a Mandarin teacher at the Confucius Institute in Brussels, Belgium. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Portuguese and a Master's degree in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language.
I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French.
Besides teaching Mandarin, I also work as Portuguese-Chinese translator.
I am also an enthusiast of traditional Chinese medicine, particularly its benefits for improving body function. You can find my videos introducing traditional Chinese medicine on my YouTube channel：https://www.youtube.com/@ProfDoraYangMe as a Teacher
1) I am a PASSIONATE&DEDICATED Chinese teacher.
- I carefully prepare every lesson, always seeking the best materials to enhance your learning experience.
2) As a MULTILINGUAL learner, I deeply understand the challenges of language acquisition.
- So I incorporate dynamic and fun elements, such as online games (QUIZLET, KAHOOT and so on), to make our classes engaging.
3) I have an EXTENSIVE TEACHING EXPERIENCE:
- both online and offline
- students of all levels—from beginners to advanced learners
- students who speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, French
- across different age groups: children, teenagers, adults.
- a variety of Chinese courses: essentials, oral Chinese, news readingMy lessons & teaching style
1) FUN and EFFICIENT.
- I incorporate various online tools and resources, such as flashcards and games through Quizlet and Kahoot, along with videos, news, and online resource libraries.
2) IMMERSIVE LANGUAGE&CULTURE LEARNING TRIP
- I’ll introduce you to topics like China's tourist spots, Chinese food and cooking, modern daily life in China, etc.
3) TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING (LEARNING BY DOING) & PRODUCTION-ORIENTED APPROACH
- This means you will actively engage in real-life tasks that promote communication and language use, allowing you to apply what you’ve learned in practical situations.My teaching material

I absolutely loved this first lesson. Super well prepared, great materials, very clear speaking voice, great explanations, fun & interactive materials.
Dora is very friendly, smiley, and patient with my slow answers.
I would highly recommended her.

The class is flowing faster now, I can understand most of the mandarin at normal speed and Dora knows very well what I'm capable of. New dynamics and unscripted exercises allow me to flourish in the language. 谢谢Dora😉

Professora inigualável.
Ela sempre se preocupa em preparar as aulas, é super paciente quanto confrontada com nossas dificuldades e, se não bastasse todo profissionalismo, ainda é super simpática.
Sou completamente iniciante no idioma e, assim como muitos, considero o idioma super difícil. Contudo, a Dora consegue fazer o difícil se tornar imperceptível.

Mandarin is coming more naturally in our lessons. The learning material and Dora's challenges keep me on the learning path. I really like the material that shows the Chinese culture and at the same time allows me to put into practice what I have learnt, this really helps to solidify the material learnt in the lesson. I'm having so much fun that 1.5 hours goes very quickly. 谢谢Dora 😊
