Home schooling in shenzhen
My husband works in Shenzhen. My girls and n live in Malaysia. After much consideration, I have decided to move to Shenzhen with him.
Back home, my girls are studying in Chinese school and i do not forsee much problem as far as the language is concern. As expats, of course they must enrol to international school. However, as an alternative is home schooling adviseable?
Appreciate yr vies. tq

Re: Home schooling in shenzhen
If you have the time and materials you probably could homeschool your kids, can't see a reason why not.
Mandarin tutors are fairly easy to find, but it is more difficult to find a good one. Prices can range from 50RMB/hr for a college student to astronomical amounts at training centers. A decent teacher will probably cost 80-150/hr.
