Why need a teacher fixed for a long time

Learning English with foreign teachers through the Internet is very common and popular in China, South Korea and Japan. In recent years, online English teaching has gradually been accepted and recognized by more and more families and students in China. Learning English with foreign teachers can effectively establish students' English thinking and expression habits, create a pure English language environment for students, and imperceptibly transform English into a language tool and communication mode for students.

I believe you have more or less been exposed to the advertising and promotion of different online English brands. Some brands require more than 6000 or 7000 class hours at a time, which is indeed a large expense.

Invest money, and then students should invest corresponding time and energy to participate in online foreign teachers' English classes. So as parents or students, how can you find a suitable and excellent online foreign teacher services in many online foreign teacher offers? The author introduces several views that you can refer to:

1、 Look at the years of service

Generally, foreign teacher providers that have been operating for a long time will be more reliable, and the teaching and supporting contents will be relatively rich.

However, with the introduction of China's double reduction policy in 2021, many online foreign teacher brands operating in China for many years have been closed, and even some institutions have run away. Therefore, we need to be cautious in choosing.

2、 European and American teachers or Filipino teachers

The class fees of European and American teachers are the most expensive. A class of 30 minutes ranges from 25-40 US dollars, while the class fees of Philippine teachers will be much lower.

So is it British and American teachers or Filipino teachers? In fact, this problem can not be generalized. It depends on each teacher's teaching attitude and experience.

In addition, European and American teachers generally have relatively pure pronunciation, but the price is too high. Some Filipino teachers have good pronunciation, and some Filipino teachers have some unique "Filipino" accents. However, accents are not the main problem in the process of English learning for three reasons:

1). There are different accents in any language. Even in the United States and Britain, there are different accents due to geography, skin color and other conditions;

2). If students learn English only to take the exam and master the language skills in learning and occupation, the influence of accent on English learning and use is actually very small relative to the fluency and familiarity of the language.

For example, the unique English pronunciation of Singaporeans is jokingly called "Singlish", but this has not affected Singaporeans' study, business and employment around the world, nor has it affected Singapore's use of English as its official language.

In contrast, the English pronunciation of the Philippines is much better than that of Singapore, and parents and students should pay more attention to the establishment of English thinking and the accumulation of vocabulary and sentence patterns.

3). There is no doubt that foreign teachers' teaching attitude and teaching experience have a great impact on students. Does the teacher really teach students according to their aptitude or just run ppt courseware according to the process? Is the teacher really concerned about the students' learning to complete the task or the commission? Do teachers and students establish a good and stable relationship, or do they always face strange faces on both sides of the screen? These have a great impact on students.

Therefore, in the process of choosing an online foreign teacher institution, it really depends on the operation concept of the institution and whether it really pursues implementation as advertised.

3、 See if the teacher is fixed

Some online foreign teachers' platforms list the schedules of many teachers for students to choose. Different teachers selected each time will complete the teaching content according to the course schedule.

This step-by-step class seems good, but from the perspective of language learning, there are great problems:

1). Students are not learning machines. They don't just need to input according to the set steps every time. Language learning requires a lot of repetition and practice, as well as repeated input and output. If students only follow the course progress in each class, they will lack the opportunity to repeat practice. In this way, students may finish all the course contents in the end, but they don't really master much in the end;

2). Regular foreign teachers in class are like eating homemade dishes made by parents. Parents will "distribute grain on time" according to their children's situation. Choosing different teachers in each class is like ordering takeout. Different teachers only take orders and serve dishes each time, but they don't know the actual situation of the students at all. Therefore, they can only complete each teaching task within the classroom time. But the teacher doesn't know how much the students have mastered and what needs to be strengthened and supplemented. Maybe she doesn't want to know.

3). Establishing a long-term and stable relationship between teachers and students is of great help to students, so that teachers can truly understand the situation of students through long-term commitment relationship, and students can constantly stimulate and enhance their ability and confidence in social language expression in a stable relationship.

Therefore, it is very important for students to learn a foreign language to see whether the teacher is fixed or not!

Finally, we recommend Wordwise online foreign teachers from the Philippines for the following reasons:

1). Wordwise has been in operation for several years since 2019, with a stable and experienced teaching team;

2). Every Filipino foreign teacher has been strictly screened and trained, with a serious and responsible teaching attitude and a friendly and amiable attitude;

3). Foreign teachers are fixed for a long time, and establish a long-term relationship of teachers and friends with students, which can help teachers deeply understand the specific situation of students, and encourage students to express information and courage in English;

4). The frequent interaction between students (parents) and foreign teachers can be realized through students' exclusive service group (WhatsApp group or Wechat group);

5). The class fee is not expensive (about 5 dollars per class for 30 minutes 1v1), and the teaching and research team has been striving for high quality.
