A repeat for the blind or illiterate.
I would like to hear from ONLY those who had prior experience with a private tutor. I am not interested in private schools or universities, only 1-1 tutors.

A tutor can usually get qualified in one of 2 ways. By graduating from a university with a major of Teaching Chinese As a Foreign Language - Dui Wai Han Yu Zhuan Ye - 对外汉语专业 - or by attending a 3 month course and passing the certification exam. Here are some of the certificates available:
1 - IPA = International Profession Certification Association
2 - ICLTA = International Chinese Language Teachers Association
I am sure there are more certificates but these are the most common here in Yunnan.
Probably the most important certificate a tutor should have is the Mandarin Proficiency Test - (PSC) - Pu Tong Hua Shui Ping Ce Shi - 普通话水平测试 - Most students are required to get this certificate in order to get a teacher's certificate. However, they are only required to get a level 2A which is what most students have. The higher levels are 1A and 1B.
In Yunnan, only 3% of the people tested can get a level 1B and less than 1% (0.03) can get a level 1A. For anyone looking to learn standard Mandarin, I recommend you find a tutor with at least a level 1B.
1 - Be clear while you are dating that you do NOT plan to return to the west. This will eliminate the Visa hunters who just want a Green Card.
2 - Chinese wife must learn english (University) to establish good communication.
3 - Do Not live in the same province as the in-laws. I told my wife, If I can come to China, then you can come to Yunnan. In laws are the primary source of marital problems.
What english level (Qualification) do you think is required to be a satisfactory tutor.
I have seen many ads in the classifieds for private tutors and I am wondering if anyone here has used the services of a private tutor in the past.

What Chinese qualifications or credentials do you think the tutor should have?
Do you think the tutor should also have some qualifications or credentials in English since basic communication is necessary?

The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.

Kunming to invest in public electric car fleet
发布者designed to reduce general traffic congestion - electric car-sharing fleet - People who need to rent a car for a few hours or days - They rent for between 20 and 25 yuan per hour, a fee that includes insurance. Long-term leases are also available.
This is why I mention the video - Who Killed the Electric Car - because they dont let you own it you can only lease or rent it - there lies the SCAM.
Kunming to invest in public electric car fleet
发布者That is the scam to avoid the Ecar - Sell it at a ridiculous price so no one can buy it or make hybrids which are absolutely useless and expensive.
Great Video - Who killed the electric Car.
