How Qualified and Trained Are the Teachers at 3D ACADEMY?

All our teachers are carefully selected through a rigorous screening process—and are trained to deliver high-quality, student-centered lessons, especially for international learners.

At 3D ACADEMY, we believe that the quality of a teacher directly shapes the quality of your learning experience. That’s why we don’t hire just anyone with English skills—we hire exceptional educators who are passionate about teaching, trained in international communication, and fully committed to helping students succeed step by step.

Every instructor goes through a multi-stage recruitment process that tests not only their English proficiency and grammar knowledge, but also their ability to explain clearly, connect with students from diverse backgrounds, and create a positive learning environment.

In addition to strong academic credentials, our teachers are chosen for their warm personalities, patience, and ability to adapt. We believe that even the most qualified teacher needs to be approachable and encouraging—especially for beginners who may feel nervous or unsure.

Once hired, our teachers undergo structured training to ensure they can teach effectively in one-on-one settings, manage students of different levels, and deliver lessons that are both educational and enjoyable.

Whether you’re a complete beginner, preparing for an exam, or focused on professional English, you’ll be guided by instructors who are not only qualified on paper, but experienced in helping students like you make real progress. At 3D ACADEMY, you’re in good hands.

Competitive Hiring Process

At 3D ACADEMY, we receive applications from hundreds of highly motivated teacher candidates every year—but we only accept those who truly meet our high standards for professionalism, communication, and teaching ability. Our rigorous hiring system ensures that only about 1 in 10 applicants is ultimately selected to join our team.

Our multi-step recruitment process includes:

• ✅ A grammar and TOEIC-based written exam to assess core language knowledge

• ✅ An accent and communication interview to ensure the ability to speak clear, neutral English suitable for global learners

• ✅ A live demo lesson, where we evaluate the candidate’s teaching approach, clarity, use of visual aids, and ability to engage students one-on-one

• ✅ A personality interview, where we prioritize friendliness, patience, and the ability to motivate students across cultures

Unlike many schools that focus only on qualifications or scores, we go beyond that. We actively seek teachers who demonstrate:

• Empathy and emotional intelligence

• Flexibility in adapting to different student needs

• A genuine passion for teaching and helping others grow

This balance of technical skill and human warmth is what makes our instructors stand out—and why so many students describe their teachers as the best part of their learning experience.

Academic Qualifications

All 3D ACADEMY instructors are graduates of accredited four-year universities in the Philippines. We place strong emphasis on academic background, especially in fields such as:

• English language

• Education

• Communication

• Linguistics or TESOL-related studies

In addition, many of our instructors hold highly respected certifications, including:

• LET (Licensure Examination for Teachers) – A government-issued teaching license in the Philippines

• TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) – An international standard for English teaching professionals

• Some also possess certifications in business English, grammar instruction, or phonetics

These qualifications ensure that our teachers are not only fluent English speakers, but also trained educators capable of delivering structured, goal-oriented lessons to international students with varying needs and skill levels.

Whether you’re focused on test preparation, daily conversation, or business English, you can rest assured that your teacher has both the academic grounding and real teaching expertise to help you succeed.

‍ Specialized Training for International Students

At 3D ACADEMY, even the best teachers go through intensive, hands-on training before stepping into the classroom. Why? Because teaching English to international students—especially in a one-on-one format—requires a unique skill set that goes beyond textbook knowledge.

Our pre-teaching onboarding program includes:

• Techniques for effective one-on-one instruction, tailored to each learner’s pace and comfort

• ️ Methods for teaching English without using Japanese or other native languages, relying instead on universal communication strategies

• Best practices for managing complete beginners, shy students, or mixed-level learners in a compassionate way

• Adapting and modifying materials based on each student’s learning style (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.)

• How to use gestures, visuals, and simplified speech to make English easy to understand—even on Day 1

This foundation ensures that new teachers enter the classroom not only confident and prepared, but also deeply empathetic to the student experience.

Ongoing Development & Evaluation

At 3D ACADEMY, teacher development is not a one-time event—it’s a continuous journey of growth. Even after onboarding, instructors regularly participate in professional enhancement activities such as:

• Monthly training workshops and seminars focused on pronunciation, classroom management, or test prep techniques

• Ongoing student feedback-based evaluations to understand what’s working and where to improve

• ‍‍ Peer reviews and mentoring sessions where teachers observe each other and exchange ideas

• Internal mock tests, demo lessons, and performance checks to maintain consistent teaching quality

This feedback loop not only motivates instructors but also ensures they stay aligned with the high standards we promise to our students. The result? A teaching team that is passionate, self-aware, and always evolving.

Final Thoughts｜More Than Just English Teachers—True Learning Partners

At 3D ACADEMY, we believe that the quality of a student’s learning experience is directly linked to the quality of the teachers. That’s why we invest heavily in finding, training, and continuously developing instructors who are not just English speakers, but true educators and communicators.

From the very beginning, our teachers are selected through a highly competitive hiring process, with only the top 10% making it through our screening. We don’t just look for degrees or certificates—we look for heart, patience, and the ability to build rapport with learners from all over the world. Most of our instructors hold professional certifications like TESOL and LET, and are graduates of four-year universities, often with backgrounds in education or English.

But what truly sets our teaching team apart is their specialized training and mindset. Before entering the classroom, every instructor goes through onboarding designed for international, multi-level, and one-on-one instruction. They learn how to teach without relying on the student’s native language, how to simplify complex topics, and how to make lessons feel safe, friendly, and effective—especially for beginners.

And the learning never stops. Our teachers engage in regular workshops, peer mentoring, and performance evaluations based on real student feedback. They’re always refining their skills, sharing new methods, and supporting each other in becoming better every day.

As a student, you’ll feel the difference from the very first lesson. Whether you’re nervous about speaking, struggling with grammar, or preparing for an important exam, your teacher will walk with you—step by step—with clarity, care, and encouragement.

In short: you’re not just learning English. You’re learning with someone who’s deeply committed to your success.
