Live English came into being in 2012, on the belief that through digital learning—ambitious professionals have the power to transform their lives, their careers, their organizations, and ultimately, our world for the better.
It’s hardly a secret that globalization has had a profound impact in all aspects of our lives. Due, in part, to the convergence of this phenomenon with the never-ending parade of accelerated technological change—we posed new questions to fundamentally reimagine the education landscape: How can we help people demonstrate mastery and cultivate their abilities to effectively collaborate in the global arena? How can we dramatically change the ways we work as we advance towards a dynamic digital future and rewrite the rules to how we organize, collaborate, and compete? And, how can we craft a forward-looking concept and construct a future-ready organization to thrive in the digital normal, and beyond?
Every idea starts with problems. In a nutshell, today’s workplace is built for the 20th-century, not the 21st. Outdated and ineffective management practices are simply not equipped to handle the complexities and demands of the modern workplace. Moreover, overcomplex and inefficient companies impose exorbitant fees that are eye-wateringly high for today’s tech-enabled, always-on, value-driven consumers. There’s a better way. We are certain that it will work better if we make it affordable, accessible, relevant, sustainable, and inclusive.
With a challenger mindset and audacious life goals—our leadership team embarked on their next mission to radically overhaul an antiquated industry by developing a cloud-powered learning platform that better meets the ever-evolving needs and expectations of modern-day professionals.
Our anywhere-work-smart framework and sophisticated technologies enable us to transcend geographic boundaries and physical limitations. We provide our global network of hyperempowered teams with a greater emphasis on flexibility and autonomy, unprecedented life-work harmony, and a simplified digital experience to engage, delight, and inspire. Our rapid growth allows us to attract top, diverse talent (like yourself) to contribute to our flourishing, boundaryless community.
Today, Live English’s digital-first, remote-first team collaborates seamlessly across six continents, 45 countries, and 23 time zones to provide individuals with a unique journey of personal and professional transformation.
The opportunity to improve people’s lives and make the world a better place excites and inspires us. We know that building high-performing teams starts with a sense of meaning and purpose, as well as a profound sense of belonging. We strive to create a work-from-anywhere world powered by deep trust, workforce empowerment, and shared accountability. These firmly held beliefs and actions are fundamentally hardwired in our DNA, and ensure we are aligned in fulfilling our purpose and vision.
The customer is our North Star. We obsess over having an intimate and dynamic understanding of their needs, and strive to put them at the center of every decision we make.
We are constantly questioning, never satisfied with the obvious, the easy, the convenient. We are forward-leaning, always seeking to learn, unlearn, and embrace change.
We aim higher and move faster to realize our shared ambitions. We have the courage and sheer determination to challenge the status quo, and stretch the boundaries of the possible.
We take responsibility. We see obstacles as opportunities for creative exploration and innovation, and strive to go beyond what works to discover what appeals and delights.
Our different backgrounds, skill sets, and perspectives strengthen our community and work. We embrace helping each other grow in our individual roles and as a team.
