Company Description

Open English is an online language education service that uses asynchronous and

synchronous lessons to teach young professionals how to speak English. Asynchronous classes

are described as courses which use the drag and drop teaching methods. Synchronous lessons

are classes which are taught by live professors every thirty minutes. Open English, which was

founded in 2007, differentiated itself from the competition by creating a program that customized

courses for each student. Not only did students have personally tailored classes; they were able

to have live sessions with a native English-speaker any day or time during the week. Today,

Open English serves over 400,000 students throughout the United States, Latin America, Russia

and Turkey.
