Modernizing the classroom setting
LAPTOPS, headsets, good internet connection, bright smiles and an even brighter attitude—these have become new teaching materials that replace books, notebooks and other paper-bound supplies for teachers, bringing the classroom experience into the online sphere.
Taught through a screen, English as a Second Language (ESL) companies have become a platform for non-native English speakers to learn and cope up with the international language—all in the comfort of their home.
Defined as “a very broad way of saying any teaching that is done through an online platform,” by job search platform esljobexchange.com, online teaching can range from a one-on-one session to a full-on classroom setting.
Already, various articles have been published by teachers and students alike who share the perks and privileges of studying and teaching on ESL platforms, which includes flexible schedules, high-paying income and extra comfort, among others.
While these benefits sound enticing enough, Acadsoc provides more than these leisure gains.
International online ESL company Acadsoc offers various subjects apart from English—for which is known for—catering to its students who are Chinese nationals.
“The traditional class that we have right now are students usually listen, they write, they read and most of the time teacher speaks,” shares one of Acadsoc’s tutors, Teacher Shiena Joy Consul. “This time, AcadSoc changed it like students speak all the time, teacher will listen—this is a way to practice their English.”
As a learning institute, Acadsoc gathers its international pool of tutors from countries such as South Africa, United Kingdom, Australia, United States, New Zealand and of course, the Philippines—where majority of its teachers come from.
But the company does not only tend to the needs of its students. As the main fuel, it empowers its tutors by providing programs dedicated to boost work efficiency and personal growth for the teachers.
“AcadSoc offers free training, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get this kind of certificate or training or knowledge, AcadSoc can give it to you,” says Teacher Shiena. “We are capable to teach or we can deliver the lesson clearly to the students.”
Apart from the trainings, Acadsoc also provides bonus incentives as another booster for “a teacher that is really hard working and really passionate about what you’re doing,” as Teacher Justine Joy Oliveros describes it.
Despite being in the online sphere, working through webcams and laptop screens, Acadsoc ensures the student’s education by equipping tutors with the right skills and materials to encourage engagement between teachers and students.
“I do the research and then AcadSoc provides us all the things that we need to teach the students,” says Teacher Maria Felicitas Santos. “AcadSoc believes that to be a very tutor, you must also learn every day.”
Moreover, Acadsoc prides in affordability. The company believes that affordability impacts the access to quality education, and in an industry as competitive as theirs, Acadsoc’s pricing makes it an affordable quality learning platform.
As a player in the ESL industry, Acadsoc has been paving the way for a more modern approach in teaching, benefiting both the tutor and the student.
It also encourages aspiring tutors by accepting even those without any experience, compared with other companies who require a number of skills before being accepted. “It’s a really good opportunity for us Filipinos, most especially for those aspiring teachers,” affirms Teacher Justine.
While Acadsoc strives to make its tutors “the happiest teacher in the world” as its tagline puts it, these teachers affirm the happiness they’ve found in Acadsoc.
For Teacher Shiena, she’s been able to provide a car for her family, along with two motor vehicles to be used for additional income.
Meanwhile, Teacher Justine and Teacher Maria—who are both mothers—have found happiness in the work convenience they’ve been given.
Teacher Justine, mother of two, has been able to spend more time with her family: cooking, playing and dedicating affection to her husband and kids all the while earning income for their welfare.
On the other hand, Teacher Maria, a mother of four, has regained her confidence and belief in herself that she can still be a provider to her family.
