In this fast-paced world we live in, it has become the norm for many to be involved in different things and juggle several endeavors simultaneously. Such is the case for Yannah Allen, Angelica Fry, and Jube Kathleen who are online English teachers at 51Talk. According to them, 51Talk unlocked their hidden potentials and became an avenue for them to empower and inspire learners.
“I’ve always led a dynamic lifestyle and it’s common for me to be involved in many things,” shared Teacher Yannah, who also works full-time as a therapy coordinator at a Texas-based company. “I easily get bored doing monotonous tasks because I believe the only way for me to grow is by constantly exploring new endeavors, especially ones that will challenge me.”
An online English teacher at 51Talk for a year now, Teacher Yannah Allen is thriving in her current setup. Teaching comes naturally to her and she wishes to become a PHBEE club captain at 51Talk someday.
Teacher Angelica, on the other hand, is a public school elementary teacher who teaches a number of subjects, such as Science, Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Information and Computer Technology (ICT). At night, she teaches with 51Talk. According to her, being an online English teacher has not only satisfied her curiosity about teaching the subject, but also helped further improve her skills as a teacher.
“I enjoy teaching and learning as an online English teacher. Since 51Talk allows me to experience what online teaching is like, I get to discover more of my capabilities as a mentor. In fact, I’ve adopted my online teaching methods in traditional classrooms, and I’ve realized the outcome is so much better,” shared Teacher Angelica.
As for Teacher Jube, who is a virtual assistant for a US-based company, teaching at 51Talk allows her to earn more at home and spend quality time with her family.
Although Teacher Jube has a steady income through her virtual assistant job, she still looks forward to teaching with 51Talk in the next few years. In fact, she has already invested in all the equipment she needs to teach efficiently at home.
“I enjoy teaching my students, seeing their progress and being a part of it. It’s heartwarming whenever my students say ‘Thank you’ to me and tell me that their parents also appreciate what I’m doing. This is why I feel fulfilled in my role as an online English teacher at 51Talk,” she said.
51Talk Country Head Jennifer Que mirrors Teacher Yannah, Angelica, and Jube’s sentiments. She believes that teaching isn’t just a profession, but also an impactful way of touching lives.
“Passion and camaraderie are at the forefront of what we do at 51Talk, and these are being embodied well by our more than 30,000 teachers. These forged bonds inside and outside the virtual classrooms are what makes up our growing teaching community,” Que said.
