Hai English makes internationally accredited English training affordable for Filipinos pursuing teaching careers around the world.
Some businesses begin with a business plan. Others begin with necessity. For Hai English Training and Assessment Center, the journey started with uncertainty, resilience, and an unwavering belief that quality education should be accessible to everyone. Under the leadership of CEO Abigail C. Estanislao, the organization has grown into an internationally accredited English training provider dedicated to helping Filipinos pursue teaching opportunities around the world. Its guiding principle remains simple and deeply personal: “Hai English is not for the rich.”
A Mission Born From Uncertainty
Before founding Hai English Training and Assessment Center, Abigail C. Estanislao spent nine years teaching English online to Japanese students. She built lasting relationships with many of them and managed her teaching career independently. Then the global pandemic changed everything.
Like many professionals during that period, she faced uncertainty about the future. She worried about the health of her longtime students and what would happen if her only source of income disappeared. Looking for stability, she explored opportunities with English as a Second Language company, only to discover that many required a Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, or TESOL, certification.
Finding an affordable program proved difficult. The least expensive option she could locate was still costly for a single mother, and the experience did not meet her expectations. Rather than accepting the situation, she saw an opportunity to solve a problem that many other Filipinos were facing.
She decided to build a training center that would offer the same internationally recognized education at a price that ordinary Filipinos could realistically afford.
Building A Door Instead Of Waiting For One To Open
That decision marked the beginning of Hai English Training and Assessment Center as it exists today.
The company was established with one clear purpose, to make internationally accredited TESOL education accessible to aspiring educators who might otherwise believe such training was beyond their financial reach. Today, Hai English has become known for providing what it describes as one of the most affordable internationally accredited TESOL programs available.
For Abigail, affordability has never meant lowering standards. Instead, it means removing unnecessary barriers so more Filipinos can qualify for opportunities that have the potential to change their lives.
The statement, “Hai English is not for the rich,” reflects more than a marketing message. It represents the company’s commitment to serving hardworking individuals who simply need an opportunity.
Faith Through Every Challenge
Abigail often reflects on one lesson that has shaped both her personal journey and her business.
“The less help I received, the more God gave me.”
That belief became especially meaningful during another defining moment in her life.
Barely two months before she and her daughter needed to choose a university for her college education, Hai English experienced significant business growth. The increase in enrollment and sales gave Abigail confidence that years of perseverance were beginning to bear fruit.
She describes that season as a reminder that her hard work and faith were not unnoticed. The success of the business made it possible for her daughter to enroll at Ateneo de Manila University, one of the Philippines’ most respected institutions of higher education.
For Abigail, that achievement represented far more than financial success. It became a deeply personal milestone that reinforced her commitment to continue serving aspiring educators throughout the country.

Success Measured By Student Stories
While many organizations highlight awards or industry recognition, Hai English Training and Assessment Center measures success differently.
Its greatest accomplishment is found in the achievements of its students.
Graduates have secured teaching opportunities in countries around the world, opening doors to careers that support their families and expand their professional futures. These success stories continue to motivate the organization to improve its programs while remaining true to its mission of affordability.
According to Abigail, the gratitude expressed by former students means more than any formal accolade because it represents lives transformed through education.
Creating Opportunities For Every Filipino
The growing demand for qualified English teachers continues to create opportunities worldwide, and Filipino educators remain highly regarded for their communication skills, dedication, and professionalism.
Hai English Training and Assessment Center strives to prepare students for those opportunities by offering internationally accredited training that remains accessible to people from diverse economic backgrounds.
The organization believes that quality education should not depend on financial privilege. Instead, every determined learner deserves the chance to build a better future through education and meaningful employment.
That philosophy continues to guide every decision the company makes as it expands its reach and serves more aspiring educators.
