I have taken multiple lessons with Dora and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking to learn Chinese of any level. She is also proficient in French and was able to help me maintain French while learning Chinese. Her lessons all had a progression, were well planned and built on each other. She had me reading characters comfortably and moved my reliance away from pinyin to help me learn more about the ‘how’ and ‘why’ behind the characters. If you’re looking for a Chinese teacher then Professor Dora is who you are looking for.

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.

Dora provides a very versatile and adaptive learning experience and is very warm and makes sure the student feels comfortable while also keeping them engaged

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😉

Dora is an excellent and knowledgeable and patient teacher. I am looking forward to taking more lessons and progressing in reading and speaking.

Dora is the absolute best!
