Our Story.

Live English was founded in 2012 on the belief that through lifelong education, ambitious professionals have the power to transform their lives, their careers, their organizations, and ultimately – the world for the better.

It has become abundantly clear that globalization has led to profound changes in all aspects of our lives. Due to the intense acceleration of globalization and the parade of rapid technological progress, we asked ourselves a few questions about the future of lifelong learning: How can we help people gain English mastery and meaningfully enhance their capabilities to compete on the global stage? How can we redraw the industry’s traditional boundaries and orchestrate a robust ecosystem? And, how can we create a forward-looking concept and design a next-generation operating model to thrive in the digital era?

Every idea starts with a problem. Ours was simple: The cost of English education is artificially high for most learners. From past experience, we’re convinced the one-to-one model works. But, we also knew that it would work even better if it were affordable, accessible, higher-quality, relevant and sustainable.

About Us

With a rebellious mindset and audacious life goals, our founders set out to reimagine and transform the education paradigm by creating the first digital platform designed for the needs of modern professionals, teams and organizations.

With Live English’s virtual lessons, the geographic location of both instructors and learners is inconsequential. Live English’s platform offers hyper-personalized programs taught by talented experts from around the globe – 24/7/365. We provide instructors with unparalleled support, innovative digital tools and comprehensive resources to collaborate, engage and tailor lessons based on individual needs and preferences. Our rapid growth allows us to welcome more talented experts and dynamic advisors to join our thriving community.

Today, Live English’s digital-first team collaborates across five continents and 23 timezones, delivers global business and intercultural communication skills to Japanese professionals and multinational organizations nationwide, and outside of Japan.
