Advice.
If you want Standard Chinese/Mandarin/Putonghua.
Find someone who has taken the degree, teaching Mandrin as a foriegn language. This is a degree offered in most Normal Universities. This would mean that the teacher has been taught the basics of how to teach, and they will use Putonghua and not local dialects.
If you want local Dali/Yunnan Hua.
Find a local Chinese English teacher. He/she will understand your L1 and will be know how to teach language.
Try to find someone with experience teaching foreigners.
Or get a local gf/bf, English speaking is not essential. My buddy learnt a lot from a gf with zero English. It gave him the will and incentive.
cool !!
any contact or adress phone ??
something more concrete ??
When you get back Dali, try putting up a job advert, asking for a teacher. See who applies and then vet. Places to advertise, supermarket, and some bars.
Also try asking the guys at the Hump, and the other hotels/hostels with foriegn management. The latter are easy to find on the hotel booking websites. Some of these guys may be able to point you in the direction of a suitalbe teacher. The other expats running bars may also be able to help with some contact names.
There is also a uni campus there, that tries to run English courses. I am sure that the teachers would be open to some freelance work. You could ask to attend a free demo class, and then give the teacher your contact details, quietly.
