Re: Do I need a TEFL certificate?
In general YES. https://www.tefl.net/tefl-courses/guide.php Are you planning to travel abroad? If so, a degree (in any subject, which you have by the sound of it) is required but this is for work permit regulations. After that, a TEFL certificate is more and more required by schools. It will help yo...

Re: What is a 'neutral accent'?
The best English accent for your SS from China is Chinese, whether they pay in dollars, pounds or renminbi. The goal of some artificially neutral or even “perfect” accent is absurd, not to mention fake

Re: Catenative Verbs
The normal structure is:
tend to do
There are other structures such as "tend towards sthg", but the above is the main one. Do you really need to lose sleep over that?
