3. A global ESL solution which
will enable non English
speakers develop the skills
and confidence to
communicate with the world.
We make learning English fun
and affordable by leveraging
the technologies of theWeb,
mobile, cloud and big data.
4. English is the official
language of business and the
Internet
globalization pressured
individuals to learn how to
communicate in one
common language for
business.
There is a shortage of
certified ESL teachers who
are willing to travel abroad.
Schools can be expensive,
and affordable schools often
offer subpar services.
5. Countries with low English proficiency will miss out on
sharing economic opportunities as globalization continues to
blur international & economic borders.
In 2012, among the BRIC countries, India was rated the
highest, #14, which means “Moderately Proficient” using the
EF EPI (English Proficiency Index) ratings (www.ef.com)
A country with a low rating will not be deemed attractive by
global companies as a potential offshore location.
Enterprise fluency in one common language (English) has
become more relevant to an individual’s professional growth
and mobility as well as the success of global organizations.
6. “Our (global) staff have to be able to
communicate and connect with their colleagues,
customers and channel partners wherever they are
in the world.”
- Laura Overton, Arrow Electronics
Offering an online solution that will not only teach
English but also provide English students a platform
to practice outside of a “formal” environment like
school or offices can help promote learning, fluency
and confidence.
7. 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
with interactive tools that
enables students to learn English
anywhere, and teachers to teach
English to foreign students in the
most efficient and effective way.
8. The abundance of information and death of distance by
leveraging technology have changed education in several
ways, among them:
learner’s preference for time, place and style are
accommodated
Personalized learning pathways
Role of instructor has evolved to tutor, mentor and coach
the nature of educational and learning institutions will be
learner centric
Predicts 2013: Digitalization Powers Education, Gartner, 11/12
9. According to the 2011 Ambient Insight Study, the potential
for Digital English learning products and services will reach
$2.58B by 2016, with over 100 million potential students.
Even a tiny fraction of market share is enough to make our
school successful.
10. All of our classes are conducted online. We provide a solution
that combines the convenience of online classes, with the
power of one-to-one learning experience.
The platform is online: all stakeholders (students, instructors,
administrators) interact via the LMS platform: no physical
classes, no overheads related to facilities maintenance. All
teachers are independent contractors will be working from
home
11. Live online sessions with a certified ESL teacher, as well as
live pre-recorded audio available to students with
subscriptions
Textbooks which can be bought directly from Cambridge
University Press or from ourWeb site.
Access to online EnglishLive communities for feedback,
practice in written communication which will be monitored
by a certified ESL teacher
Software development for on the go learning
Enterprise training.
12. EnglishLive Competitors
(traditional schools, other online EFL
schools)
Offers localization
(classes tailored to micro-regions)
Offline schools do. Online
schools don’t.
100% of teachers are native
speakers
Local traditional schools located
in foreign countries , and most
online schools do not offer such
guarantee because they are not
located in the U.S. like we are.
13. The Chinese government wants to transform China’s
economy from “Made in China” to “Designed in China”
(Gartner, 2012)
China’s growing supply of university graduates is a
talent pool which global companies are eager to tap
(Bradsher, 2013)
Chinese consumers have fully embraced technology
(Nielsen Report 2010)
There is a shortage of certified and experienced ESL
teachers in small villages and remote areas of China
Widespread broadband connection in rural China
