Q: How much will cost me to hire a private English teacher in Shanghai?

I tried to study one English article every week, but there are still some words I can't find the definition after I looked them up online. I went around to ask many native English speakers for help, but eventually they are tired of helping me for free.

 

So I am thinking of hiring a private English teacher to help me to study those words and help my pronounciation.

 

I want to know the fee of an English teacher(Native speaker) in Shanghai.

 

I want a lesson every week. Maybe 1-2 hours,

If all you want is help with word definitions, get yourself a decent dictionary.

Thanks for sharing. Spider.

 

But when I look for strike-led in the online dictionary you shared, I still couldn't find the definition of this phrase.

diverdude1:

"A US aircraft carrier-led strike group is headed toward the Western Pacific Ocean near the Korean Peninsula, a US defense official confirmed to CNN.".

 

A group of warships in which an aircraft carrier is playing the lead role.

 

Definition of “led”

“Led” in most cases is a verb. It is the past tense and past participle of “lead” as a verb when the pronunciation of “lead” rhymes with “bead.” Consider the following examples:

Example 6: She led the team to victory last week in the championship game (“led” is a verb in past tense form).

Example 7: She has led the team to victory in the championship game (“led” is a verb in past participle form).

Don't you have a lot of foreigner friends on wechat? Why not ask them? Or even here on ECC.

Because it SUCKS ARSE being used to constantly help someone for which it's one's job... or to not get paid anything in return (of even marginally similar value).

 

I mean, "I'll buy you a cup of coffee" doesn't come even close to the 250RMB that a teacher should expect for this sort of thing. Nor even for a much cheaper student charging only 100RMB...

A:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/Working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
