A report from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences shows that China has a large English consumer group of 300 million people. Meanwhile, the English training market in China is as large as US$72B. That is because the number of online English learners has now reached more than 19 million while the demand for English teachers has exceeded 500,000.
51Talk aims to promote Filipino teachers in China and hopes to make Filipino online English teachers the new future of English Language Teaching (ELT).
Online Filipino Teachers for Chinese Students
Based on their experience, 51Talk said that the Philippines ranks among the best English speaking countries in Asia. The Philippines has maintained its top two ranking in the IELTS English test in Asia over the years. It has also been rated as the country with the highest level of business English in the world.
For better service, 51Talk has deployed a leading curriculum development team in order to provide quality learning experience to Chinese students, particularly the children. Teachers undergo extensive training before embarking on their career as online home-based English teachers.
At the very least, online teachers should have a college degree and can be able to speak English well. They should also have the capability to do home-based teaching by having reliable internet connection and a good computer setup.

Chinese children learn a lot from their Filipino teacher, whom they often see as professional and passionate. “I love my Filipino teacher!”, a lot of them exclaimed during a company video presented during the press conference.
Same Time Zone
Online Filipino teachers and Chinese students share a common cultural background and also the same time zone, which results in a healthy schedule for both teacher and student.

51Talk’s platform has been available in the country for the last 7 years. The training centers are located in key cities and provinces like Bacolod, Baguio, Cavite, Cebu, Davao, Pampanga, and Pasig.
Why 51Talk?
