(Reminder: ONLY OPEN A BPI ACCOUNT ONCE YOU ARE A LAUNCHED TEACHER)
51Talk will remit your teaching fees through your own BPI savings account only (for teachers
residing in PH). If you don't have a personal savings account in BPI, you need to contact the 51Talk
Fees team once you are a launched teacher. 51Talk will give you a referral letter to present in any
BPI branch so you can open a personal savings account with zero maintaining balance. Make
sure to read the guidelines through the link above.
For other details, you may check this: FEES Details

D. REMINDERS ONCE YOU WILL START YOUR TEACHING

1) Plan your teaching schedules ahead of time (including breaks and rest days). Only open teaching
slots during your most available time of teaching. One teaching slot to open is equivalent to a
25-minute lesson. Students can only book teachers if they have open teaching slots. Once booked,
the name of the student will reflect on your teacher account/portal.
Note: You are not allowed to cancel booked lessons.
2) Conduct and finish the full 25-minute lesson. Do not end the class early and do not extend. End the
class/lesson at the exact 25th minute. All lesson materials can be downloaded in advance through
your teacher account/portal.
3) All lessons/classes are recorded on Air Class. Once you join on AC, the recording will start. Join the
Air Class (AC) Classroom 5 minutes before your lesson and ensure to leave or log out from the Air
Class Classroom after ending the 25 minute class.
4) Do not eat nor drink in between and during classes. Do not do other stuff not related to your
teaching.
5) Always turn your mobile phone into silent mode. Make sure you have a very quiet teaching area. No
background noises during the lesson.
6) Make sure to use the 51Talk tarpaulin as your background. Teaching area must be clean, clutter free,
and well-lit with adequate lighting. Make sure no passers-by during class.
7) Before you start entering Air Class, double-check your equipment. Make sure you have a stable
internet connection, a working headset, and a webcam. Be presentable as well.
Note: Earphones/speakers are NOT allowed. Use the proper headset w/ an extended mic
8) As teachers, we have to respect students’ religious, cultural, and political views. Always focus on the
lesson at hand and avoid discussions pertaining to sensitive topics.
9) Do not take photos/videos of your students in the class and you are not allowed to share them on
any social media sites or with other colleagues.
10) Take note, you can receive complaints from the students or parents so always make sure to do well in
your classes. If any of the prohibitions will be made, you might be REMOVED and blacklisted from
the platform.

E. 51Talk TARPAULIN

1. Print as is. Do not make any changes to the colors and graphics, and ensure to not stretch or
distort the file.
2. Stick to the standard size. Tarpaulin Format - W 50in x H 36in

This is to ensure uniformity and quality when it comes to our teaching paraphernalia.
