Teaching at Home with 51Talk: Teacher Macey Rae

Teacher Macey Rae is not just a mom; she is a super mom. For years she has been a housewife and a hands-on mom to her husband and ten children. While being a wife and mother can be fulfilling, there are moments when she felt that she was not achieving anything. This is the story of Teacher Macey Rae and how teaching at home with 51Talk changed her life. 

Macey Rae is a proud mother of ten children. A few years back, she had to stop working to personally attend to her children's needs. She is very grateful that her husband of 24 years has been very supportive of her and together, they raised their kids hand in hand. With ten children to take care of, it was not easy for her to find a job. "My hands are already full of my responsibilities at home. And sometimes being a stay-at-home mom can be sad." 

When she learned of 51Talk on the Internet, she felt that it was a heaven-sent answer to her quest for an opportunity that will suit a mother of ten like herself. "My kids are growing up and I want to spend more time with them but the family also needs extra income for our growing needs." More than three years into her teaching journey with 51Talk, Teacher Macey Rae is still in awe of how much the brand changed her life for the better. It is in teaching at home that Teacher Macey Ray now finds fulfilment. 

"Apart from giving me a chance to work but still have time for my family, it also makes me feel fulfilled. Because on the platform, there is growth and advancement. I am also a home-based trainer now which also gave me a chance to share my knowledge and experience with the other teachers." Not only does she feel herself developing into a better teacher with every lesson and training program she accomplishes, she was also able to be a super mom to her children: three in college, two in senior high, and two in junior high, one in grade school, and the youngest is in day care. Her eldest is a registered psychometrician and is currently in the final year of her master’s degree. 

Being a stay-at-home mom requires a balance between taking care of household matters, and ensuring financial security. Teacher Macey Ray has found this perfect balance by teaching English online with 51Talk. “We can still be successful at the comfort of our own home,” adds Teacher Macey Ray, because she is helping her learners achieve success in her own way, while doing the same for her own children, and most importantly, for herself.
