My sister employed a NET for her son since two to three years ago. She said the private NET is very helpful for building her son's confidence and skills in oral English. The fee is two hundred something per hour.
I have employed a net teacher for my girl five months ago, of course i think its useful as it can build up my girls oral skills and she is now very eager to speak english, also,since the teacher has worked in an international kindergarten before , she can teach my girl in a professional way, she teaches her how to write, what kind of textbooks are suitable for her。
In fact, my husand is also an english teacher, he says leaning phonics is not so important in early stage,to build up ones confidence to speak up english is far more important•
