Word origin

师 (shī, "teacher") + 资 (zī, "resources or qualifications") forms a term that treats teachers as an institution's teaching resource.

Usage tips

  • Course advertisements often use this term to present an institution as a whole, so it is less natural when only one teacher's performance or one lesson is under discussion.
