Emma, a 7th-grade student, has a clear dream — she wants to work in Japan in the future! She has known from an early age that English proficiency is a key factor in realizing that dream.
Traditional Courses Focus on Reading and Writing, Making Speaking Practice a Challenge
With her dad’s support, Emma has been exposed to various English learning resources from a young age. However, many after-school programs and tutoring classes focus primarily on reading and writing, leaving little room for speaking practice. A trip to the U.S. and Canada made Emma’s dad realize that direct communication with native speakers is the best way to improve speaking skills—but, as the trip ended, how could Emma continue to practice once back in Taiwan?

Breaking Through Learning Barriers with Online Learning, Easily Speaking at Home

With this in mind, Emma’s dad began searching for online resources and eventually chose 51Talk’s children’s English course. This program offers 24/7 flexible scheduling, allowing classes to be booked 30 minutes in advance and canceled within an hour. The flexibility allows Emma to learn according to her schedule. Emma’s dad praised, “This is the greatest advantage of 51Talk—the ability for kids to manage their learning independently, giving both parents peace of mind and flexibility.”

One-on-One Foreign Teacher Instruction + Thoughtful Follow-Up, Enhancing Both Academics and Speaking

51Talk offers over 10,000 certified foreign teachers to choose from, providing one-on-one lessons. Emma’s dad shared that whenever Emma encounters something she doesn’t understand, the teacher can immediately guide her and provide explanations. The lesson duration is kept to 25 minutes, just the right amount of time to keep the pace comfortable for Emma without overwhelming her.
In addition to the course arrangement, the thoughtful service from the class teacher also provides strong support for parents. Teachers regularly follow up with phone calls to track Emma’s progress, confirm the scheduling, and even proactively offer a list of new teachers if the original teacher leaves, ensuring Emma’s transition is smooth and without worry.

After a year of study, Emma is more confident in speaking English, and her pronunciation has improved. Not only that, her vocabulary and grammar abilities have greatly increased, making her schoolwork much easier. She happily says, “The sentence structures I saw in my exams, I already learned them in my 51Talk lessons!”
Now, Emma is steadily moving forward toward her dream. 51Talk firmly believes that through her dedication and systematic training, fluent English is no longer just a goal but a solid skill to help her step onto the international stage!
