The Ohayo English advantage

Why Filipino teachers are the world's best-kept English secret

English is an official language of the Philippines β€” spoken in schools, courts, government, and homes. Filipino teachers bring near-native fluency with the warmth and patience that kids respond to.

Near-native English
English is mandatory from kindergarten through university.
Warm & patient teaching style
Filipino culture values nurturing β€” kids feel safe to make mistakes.
Affordable without compromise
Same quality as $20/hr US teachers β€” at $6–15/lesson.
Cultural bridge for Asian families
Familiar context, understanding of Asian learning styles and family values.
🎯
Structured curriculum
Each lesson follows a clear plan β€” vocabulary, reading, speaking, and review β€” so every minute counts.
🧸
Child-centred approach
Teachers use games, songs, and stories to keep young learners engaged without pressure.
πŸ“
Progress you can see
Post-lesson reports show exactly what was covered and what to practise before next time.
🀝
Consistent teacher
Your child keeps the same teacher each week β€” building trust, rapport, and real confidence.

Questions answered

FAQ

English is one of the Philippines' two official languages β€” Filipinos grow up speaking it at school, at work, and at home. Filipino teachers consistently score top marks for clarity, warmth, and patience. 51Talk, GogoKid, and DaDaABC all rely on Filipino teachers. We just pay them better.

They don't need one. Your child logs in with a 4-digit PIN you set up, a picture password (tap 3 animals in order), or a QR code you show from your phone. No email, no forgotten password β€” just a tap and they're in.

The platform auto-detects your timezone. When you pick a time slot, you see it in your local time β€” Tokyo time if you're in Japan, Seoul time if you're in Korea. Teachers are in the Philippines (GMT+8) and available from 6 AM to 10 PM PHT, which covers morning slots for East Asia.

Yes. Parent Watch Mode lets you join any live lesson as a silent observer β€” camera and microphone off by default. You see everything in real time without interrupting. You can also view lesson recordings afterward (if recording is enabled for your plan).

Switch anytime β€” zero friction. After each lesson, you can select a different teacher for the next booking. There's no lock-in and no awkward cancellation process. We also have a 100% satisfaction guarantee on your first paid lesson: not happy, full refund.

None. Book one lesson at a time, or buy a package for a better per-lesson rate. Cancel anytime. No auto-renewing subscriptions without your explicit consent.

Any device with a modern browser: iPad, Android tablet, laptop, desktop, or phone. We recommend a tablet or laptop for the whiteboard experience. The app works on Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox β€” no downloads required.
