Molding Oneself into a Successful Teacher: Teacher Antie Jen

Very few online English teaching platforms offer the right training to improve their teachers’ skills and knowledge. That’s why when Teacher Antie Jen’s teaching center switched to 51Talk through the Third-Party Center Accreditation Program (TPCAP), they received better support, training, and income than ever before. After being a 51Talk TPCAP teacher for a year and four months, teacher Antie Jens shares how 51Talk is molding her into a successful online English teacher.

Before starting as an online English teacher, she was a private teacher and Grade 2 adviser to 27 pupils. She taught her students every day, guiding and encouraging them to learn and discover their skills and abilities. After that, she started teaching at JollyHive Coworking Space, one of their offices in Lucena City, Quezon Province.  

Then, their center owner learned that the teachers and the center will benefit more by partnering with 51Talk through TPCAP. This 51Talk program accredits online English teaching centers outside of Metro Manila and encourages teachers and entrepreneurs to establish their own teaching centers to support local educators and professionals.  

Partnering with 51Talk granted the center access to better training and seminars and provided better teaching fees and incentives for teachers. Also, the center owner said that the 51Talk TPCAP team is friendly and easy to tap, so she decided to switch to 51Talk. For teacher Antie Jen, this change has been really worth it.

She admits that some of her struggles are her bad accent and habit of slightly mispronouncing words. However, through 51Talk’s training sessions and seminars, she learned how to overcome those difficulties. She says that 51Talk molded her and imparted the skills and abilities that she was afraid to explore on her own. 51Talk also helped her become a better teacher who is very patient and loving toward her students.

Overall, teacher Antie Jen is really pleased with and impressed by teaching with 51Talk. Because of this opportunity, she can help her family financially, which is her reason for working hard. Besides this, teaching English online gave her more time for herself since she can manage her time and schedule according to her preference. Finally, teaching with 51Talk opened doors for her and helped her become a successful online English teacher today.

In over a year of teaching, she has come so far and has already become a Master Teacher B, the highest teacher level on 51Talk. For her, this is the best reward that 51Talk and her center have given her. Lastly, she also has the opportunity to learn from her fellow teachers and impart her knowledge to them, too, while having fun.

For those who want to become a 51Talk teacher, teacher Antie Jen shares her advice:

“Teaching is not an easy job. This is a long-term commitment, and we are the source of inspiration for young minds and adult learners. As teachers, let us be more responsible in all our ways.
