It's not easy being an English teacher in China! Being an English in China is a different job from others country. I'm an English teacher who is teach the children's English. Except to teach them English, the teacher also need to serve them parents. It's not easy to serve the parents whose child is learning English from you. You need to communicate with them about the behavior which is the child in the class. After the 3 or 4 times classes , you need call parents and talk aboout them chirldren's behavior in classes. Every mouth , the company ask for test to give students. So after the text you need to talk with parents the conclusion of test and give them result ad advice of study English. When the students met the question in English , their parents will call the teacher or contact with teacher using Wechat or QQ whatever the time and how long. Some parents say " I don't understand English, so I pay for the money to you(teacher), you(teacher) should bla bla bla.(many requests)"(actully, the money not directly give t the teacher, the teacher in the company) As this kind of parents , I should be patience nd to expain that" If you want the student have a good grade, you should help teacher and listen to the teacher let your child finished homework in time and don't be late when have an English class. Have a good habit in study ……“ As an English teacher in China , I think I am not only like students' father but also like them mother!
