🧐 The problem

Tons of Thai students have little access to quality English classes. This leaves graduates with weak English language skills, making it difficult to land quality jobs — especially with the local and global labor market getting more competitive.

• English is a core skill for Thais to learn.

‍

🗣 What they offer

They offer several Business English, General English and kids' English courses with different difficulties. With each course lasting 6–12 months, you can learn all the way from the basics to advanced English.

Learn anytime online. Book 1:1 live online classes with their coaches — they've got coaches available 24/7.

• You can even join live classes focused on writing emails, presenting at work and interviewing in English!

Talk, talk, talk. Practice and talk with other learners of the same level.

And more. You'll access unlimited e-learning resources like podcasts, online quizzes and English workshops for free with every course.

💡 But they're more than just talk

It's beyond just teaching English. They're here to teach the skills of the future, upskilling people so they can land better jobs!

• They also teach business Chinese but are also looking to expand past languages and into other skills.

😉 No one does it better than the locals

After expanding to Vietnam, they're one step toward their global ambitions. Potential next stops? Bangladesh and Pakistan.

• The strategy? Going local. They're growing native coach teams from multiple countries to serve each market.
• They hope to hit 500,000 classes this year.
