    I’m looking for a teaching job in China 😔lol

    @Melody I didn't come to China for money. So I never take extra jobs

  • 大伟作家 Lifetime VIP

    @Melody you are right

  • Melody

    Doing things for money or for free, that’s totally different. If you teach people for free, you won’t be stressed. Otherwise, you might be stressed teaching for money

  • Melody

    The salary is lower. Don’t take it haha

    @大伟作家 I also agree with not calling me teacher. Although I am a teacher but I don’t teach English so I never feel comfortable with someone calling me teacher because I’m helping them out

  • Lucky 王乐乐 Lifetime VIP

    @大伟作家 good time know. I’m curious what are you going in china ?

  • 大伟作家 Lifetime VIP

    @Claire I'm not a teacher. In America, I was an accountant, and since I'm not Chinese, I only like people to call me by the name my mother gave me, because that's how we do it in America.

    @Lucky 王乐乐 depends on the school. Private business require 30 hours a week, but they pay more. Private schools required 25 class hours, 45 minutes a class

    @大伟作家 that’s not bad. How many hours is in a teachers work day ?

  • Claire

    @大伟作家 I respect you 大伟. Can I say that it’s a kind of culture difference? I know, in western countries there are many volunteers who are willing to spent their time and labors on helping others and communities without taking any money, But in China, volunteers are not very common, people believe in pay more for more work . Furthermore, it’s a sort of life style , when someone have a stable salary, he would think he needn’t pursue more money, he would like to enjoy their life and do something he love to do. Earning more money is not the primary target in his life. The third, like in Chinese 君子爱财取之有道。 in US， a teacher must be licensed ，bounding by teacher’s duties and liabilities . If someone doesn’t have the license, he can’t be called a teacher . But In China, we treat the people who we can learn from as a teacher. Like In Chinese, 三人行必有我师焉。 That’s why some learners called you teacher. I respect you , you have your rules. Enjoy your everyday .

    @Lucky 王乐乐 Yes for native speakers. Some places pay more and some pay less depending on the city.

    @大伟作家 for foreigners ?

  • Linda

    👍👍

  • 大伟作家 Lifetime VIP

    @Jane Her point was, I help people for free, so shouldn't I get paid for it

  • 大伟作家 Lifetime VIP

    @Lucky 王乐乐 The stands rate is 200 RMB an hour if you're in China, but less if you're abroad.

  • 大伟作家 Lifetime VIP

    @Jane I only asked her that question so I could tell other foreign teachers. So that's not the point.

    @大伟作家 It makes sense.

  • Edi

    Great, You kept your principle/promise. You didn't eat your words.You stand by your conscience. That's not easy, but you choose to be a man, a great man with pure soul and powerful heart.👍👍

  • Peter 南山2022.6.6 Lifetime VIP

    So kind and helpful

  • Peter 南山2022.6.6 Lifetime VIP

    @史恩沈 Sheen 👍

  • Jane

    1000 RMB？No foreigner in China would take that job...that’s the point 😂

  • Lucky 王乐乐 Lifetime VIP

    I totally feel you. I had got job offers too. I always tell them I’m not qualified to teach but I don’t mind helping. By the way, I did the calculations and I’m shocked. Is that the standard rate of pay in china ?cus my friend said they would pay me hourly by the wage I get here and I’m like ugh 😑

  • ハレ

    这样的老师真的好棒啊！超级感动

  • Jessie

    Cool😎

  • 史恩沈 Sheen

    You do this as a joy not a job. 😊

  • 大伟作家 Lifetime VIP

    @Cristina Yang 杨扬 I know, but I don't use this app to teach ... I'm not a teacher. Correcting someone's writing is not the same as teaching. Sharing English material is not the same as teaching.

  • Vision 阮

    You’re kind-hearted.But some would take that job.

  • Susan

    Please help me with my pronunciation.

  • Cristina Yang 杨扬

    但是对我们既要上班又要学习的人来说，抽时间去上课真是太难了，而且要请个外教更难，我们当地根本请不到教成人的外教。

  • 今将图南

    you are a good teacher
