Storyline
How it unfolded.
- 01
The opening
Self-serve language apps had enormous reach and weak outcomes; traditional schools had outcomes and no scale.
- 02
The thesis
Small live classes, available every hour of the day, with a certified teacher supply chain — outcomes plus scalability in one model.
- 03
What we did
Supported the shift to a subscription model, unit-economics discipline on teacher utilisation, and expansion into corporate and public-sector channels.
- 04
Where it stands
A global online language school with a marketplace-grade teacher network and a recurring revenue base.
Outcomes
- Subscription model with predictable recurring revenue
- Teacher utilisation optimised without lowering class quality
- Expansion from B2C into corporate and government programmes
