Your impact shapes future leaders, thinkers, and changemakers, reaching far beyond the classroom.
Teaching beginners can be challenging for teachers. However, it can also be considered a privilege to guide students from a state of struggle to bringing out the best in them.
A Global 51Talk teacher for 5 years, Teacher Rea Joi sees handling beginners among her students as a challenge she is always ready to conquer. She shared her story about this,
“I encountered a student, who initially struggled with speaking fluently. By tailoring lessons to her interests, providing encouragement, and creating a supportive environment, she gained confidence. Her progress was evident when she confidently delivered a presentation, showcasing her improved skills and newfound confidence in speaking English. This experience reaffirmed my passion for online teaching, demonstrating its power to transform students' confidence and abilities through personalized and supportive methods
Teacher Rea Joi said that beginners usually face challenges with pronunciation and basic conversation skills. However, 5 years of teaching in 51Talk has made her an expert of bringing out the best among her students. “By implementing lots of strategies that aligned with interests and incorporating effective visual aids, students could gain confidence.” She also underscored the importance of customized teaching approaches in achieving significant learning outcomes in online education.
She also makes sure that she conceptualizes innovative teaching methods that adapt to online settings. She remarked, “I designed a virtual word escape room activity where students had to solve word puzzles and riddles to progress through different levels. Each puzzle required them to apply a specific rule or concept they had learned. By the end of the session, the students not only improved their reading skills but also expressed enthusiasm for learning in a fun and interactive way. The word escape activity transformed their perception of grammar from mundane to engaging, illustrating how innovative teaching methods can significantly impact online learning outcomes.”
Teacher Rea Joi couldn’t be more grateful that she joined 51Talk and has built a stable career as an online English teacher with the global platform. With words of gratitude, she would also like to inspire her colleagues in 51Talk. She said,
