Hello students and parents,
I am Yilin Tang, your Chinese teacher. I am looking forward to this journey with you where we will explore the language and culture of China together!
I was born and raised in Shanghai, China. It is a traditional port city and financial center of China. I attended East China Normal University in Shanghai.I came to the States in 2012 to pursue my higher education at the University of Texas at Austin where I received my Master’s in Education. Hook’en Horns! I have been teaching Chinese for the past nine years both in a classroom setting and through one-on-one work.
In this age of globalization, learning a different language and understanding different cultures will be a great benefit as we are a more globally interconnected society. Learning Chinese will also open your eyes to pictographic characters and lead you to understand Chinese culture.
Again, it is my honor to be your teacher and I am looking forward to a great year!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Yilin Tang
