4. The Problem
• Millions of students in developing countries need to learn
English as a foreign language.
• There are not enough native-speaking teachers who are
qualified to provide adequate teaching.
• Schools can be expensive.
• Affordable schools offer subpar services
5. The Solution
• The best English teachers in the world are here in America.
• Using the latest online education technologies, EnglishLive
created an online platform that brings demand and supply
closer together: we created virtual classrooms that use audio,
video, and interactive tools that allow students to learn
English anywhere, and teachers to teach English to foreign
students in the most efficient and effective way
6. The Market Size
• According to the 2011 Ambient Insight Study, the potential for
Digital English learning products and services will reach
$2.58B by 2016
• The same study identifies over 20 important markets
worldwide, with over 100 million potential students
• Even a tiny fraction of market share is enough to make our
school successful.
• The online world will allow the school to acquire students
using digital advertising tools that can be targeted at search
engines and social media sites so we can identify and reach
students, our main target group.
7. Competition
EnglishLive Competitors (traditional
schools, other online EFL
schools)
Offer localization (classes Offline schools do. Online
taylored to micro-regions schools don’t
100% of teachers are native Local traditional schools

to teach foreign students.
9. Business Model

administrators) interact via the LMS platform.
