Counselors generally manage one or more classes, and their main responsibilities are teachers engaged in students' ideological and political education, daily management, mental health, employment guidance, and the construction of student party groups.

The head teacher is a teacher who is fully responsible for the thought, study, health and life of a class in the school. He is the organizer, leader and educator of a class, and also the coordinator of the teaching and education work of all teachers in a class. Different from the classroom teacher, the classroom teacher is only responsible for the teaching of the subject, while the class teacher is fully responsible for managing a class!

So counselors and class teachers are different.
