Speaking exercise

I have already met her, she will work for my friend until this year. At the end of this year, her son will be 2 years old, so she doesn’t need her anymore. Next year, I will hire her as a 月嫂. After that, you can have her as your nanny. She’s very nice and she will totally respect the owner’s orders. My mother feels a little disappointment because we will move back to her house 4 months after the baby’s birth.

I think I want to try to find something to do during this period. I know there is a web can teach foreigner languages, I want to teach foreigner Chinese. My friend suggest me to try. I just searched for it and I need to prepare it to be a Chinese tutor. There are different prices for Chinese tutors, the more certification you have, the price will be higher. I will start the lower one, because I’m not sure if I can do it well.
