51Talk, together with their new Philippine brand ambassador, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, held its first-ever live stream interview via Facebook after hundreds of aspiring online English teachers signed-up to get a chance to be part of the show. The live stream is part of 51Talk’s campaign to invite qualified Filipinos who are interested to take advantage of the 30,000 home-based online teaching opportunities offered by 51Talk where people can teach, learn and most importantly – earn.
Listed in the New York Stock Exchange, 51Talk is the leading online English education platform that connects thousands of Filipino teachers to foreign English language learners via an interactive virtual classroom.
More than 70,000 viewers tuned in and joined the fun and inspiring live stream which allowed them to learn more about the teach at home opportunity and acquainted them with the application process that can be completed in as fast as three days. Pia interviewed nine pre-selected candidates from different backgrounds who shared their heartwarming stories on how they found hope in 51Talk after losing their jobs or livelihood.
Several of the candidates expressed how the pandemic has affected their current livelihood, especially those who belong to the travel and events industries.
Paula, a professional dancer and instructor who has been performing and teaching for 14 years, had a lot of her events and classes cancelled due to COVID-19. She came across the 51Talk online teaching opportunity and decided to give it a shot since she has teaching experience.
“I want to be able to translate my teaching skills from dance and performance arts into teaching English. I just love sharing what I know and see my students grow into the best versions of themselves,” shared Paula.
Trina, a professional events host, found herself in the same boat as a lot of her hosting gigs were cancelled or postponed indefinitely.
“While the situation we are in can be very disheartening, I decided to try out as a 51Talk teacher and I’m happy that I made it to this fun interview with no less than Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach!” exclaimed Trina. Trina gave the viewers a taste of her fun, entertaining energy as she sang songs both in English and Chinese
Pearl, another one of the candidates, candidly shared how the past few months have been very tough for those in the travel industry. She was about to return as a flight attendant after her maternity leave but her retraining was put on hold as travel restrictions are still in place. Having no income, Pearl said she had to find a stable and sustainable livelihood that would allow her to help her husband, especially now that they have their first child.
“When I learned about the opportunity in 51Talk, it gave me hope and made me revisit my childhood dream of becoming an educator,” shared Pearl. “Even if I don’t have any teaching experience, I didn’t hesitate to sign-up. I borrowed my sister’s laptop just so I could apply. I’m very excited to start teaching in 51Talk.”
According to 51Talk teacher Angelo Lex who co-hosted the show, being an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher is very profitable as he gets to earn at the comfort and safety of his own home in his preferred schedule. He also shared his excitement when he learned of the platform’s recent announcement about the 20 million pesos incentive program exclusively for 51Talk teachers this month.
Pia felt ecstatic and inspired since this is her first stint in interviewing candidates online. “It’s a humbling experience to interview such incredible candidates from all walks of life, to hear their unique stories and to witness how talented and passionate they all are,” shared Pia.
Towards the end of the show, Pia said she was moved after hearing the story of one of the candidates, Pearl, the flight attendant who borrowed her sister’s laptop just so she could sign-up to be a teacher at 51Talk. Pia surprised everyone as she decided to personally give Pearl a laptop to help her get started in her online teaching career.
“We see your hard work and we’re very sorry for what you’re going through as a young mom. I find you very engaging and who has so much potential,” said Pia.
Aspiring online English teacher Pearl became emotional when Pia Wurtzbach surprisingly announced she would give Pearl a laptop so she can start earning from home to support her family. Pearl was a flight attendant who lost her job but found hope in 51Talk.
“It’s such an honor to represent 51Talk as their brand ambassador and to be able to connect to thousands of Filipinos through this live stream. I hope it inspired them and gave them joy.”
Pia considers empowering Filipinos as her top advocacy, now more than ever when thousands of Filipinos have lost their livelihood due to the pandemic.
“I am encouraging all qualified individuals to sign-up and to seize this wonderful livelihood opportunity. See you in our next live stream!” exclaimed Pia.
Next month, 51Talk will be doing another round of interviews with a new set of candidates via their official Facebook page. To get a chance to be interviewed, showcase your talent, and have a #DateWithPiaAt51Talk, sign-up via 51Talk’s website at www.51Talk.ph.

Since nasa bahay lng naman tayo ngayun, Maganda po ang work na online teacher. But you have to be more patient especially if you will be teaching kids. You also need to have online equipment like laptop, Webcam and headphones. Also you need to have strong internet connection. And the salary is like 50-70k a month it depends on how many hours you’ll be working. I hope this helps.
Beautiful na, smart pa! You actually deserved your crown Ms. Pia!
Great job Mommy Phepot!

Noong Pebrero 28, 2016, nagtungo siya sa Toronto, Canada upang ibahagi ang kanyang talumpati tungkol sa pagpapalaganap ng pagiwas ng pang-aapi sa kapwa sa Speakers Forum para sa mga estudyante ng Language Academy of Canada kung saan nagbahagi rin siya ng kanyang karanasan noong kabataan sapagkat siya ay naging isang ring biktima ng pang-aapi.

maraming unemployed ang natutulungan ngayon ng #51talk,
Magandang opportunity ito para sa lahat
Very inspiring po sa mga women now na need ang ganitong opportunity.. big help.
I can still recall how I lined up for series of interviews and exams with 51Talk as an Office-based Teacher-Associate (OBT) in Cyberscape Alpha, Ortigas Center, Pasig City back in December 2015. The next few months were an unforgettable journey with the great company, its fantastic trainers and awesome colleagues! My journey as an OBT ended when I had to join as high school teacher in a private school as a result of relocation and family reasons. Now, after 5 years, here I am again this time as a Home-based Teacher (HBT) and enjoying online teaching and earning safely within the comfort of my home while juggling responsibilities of a mother of three in this time of pandemic. I didn’t expect that I will be back in the arms of one of the greatest online English education platform I have worked with. Congratulations Ms. Pia Wurtzbach for being 51Talk Philippines Ambassador. Surely it’s inspiring seeing you here. I hope to meet you in the future. Thank you 51Talk for the great opportunity!
