"As a fresh graduate with no teaching experience, I thought I wouldn't qualify. AID Virtual showed me how to prepare and what 51Talk looks for. Now I have regular students who request me specifically."

No — our guidance, coaching, and application support are 100% free. We will never ask you to pay for anything during the application process.
A teaching license is not required. A bachelor's degree (any field) and strong English communication skills are the primary qualifications. A TEFL certificate is an advantage but not mandatory.
Because students are primarily in China, peak teaching times are Philippine mornings (around 6–10 AM PHT) and evenings (around 7–10 PM PHT). However, you can set your own availability and open slots during any hours you prefer.
51Talk pays teachers weekly via direct bank transfer (local Philippine bank accounts supported). Your earnings accumulate throughout the week and are released on a regular payout schedule.
You can retry after a waiting period. With our coaching, the pass rate is significantly higher. We'll work with you on what went wrong and help you prepare for your next attempt.
