WORK & KEEP LEARNING.
We believe in staying endlessly curious and fostering continuous learning to help you build future-ready skills and thrive in today’s rapidly changing world.
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 profoundly shaped every aspect of our lives. Due, in part, to the convergence of this interconnected megatrend with the never-ending parade of accelerated technological change, we began asking foundational questions to redefine the educational paradigm: How can we help people demonstrate mastery and cultivate their ability to collaborate more fully and confidently in the global arena? How can we radically reimagine how work gets done as we advance toward a dynamic digital future and rewrite the rules for creating, delivering, and maximizing value and impact? Most importantly, how can we craft a future-oriented vision and build a future-ready organization that thrives in the digital normal by anticipating shifts and responding with agility and resilience to new challenges?
Every idea begins with a problem. In a nutshell, today’s workplace was built for the 20th-century, not the 21st. Fragile leadership behaviors and rituals from the analog era are ill-suited to handle the complexity and fast-paced demands of modern organizations. As a result, arrogant, undisciplined, and inefficient companies impose exorbitant fees that are eye-wateringly high and impractical for today’s tech-enabled, always-on, value-driven consumers—there’s a better way. We are certain it will work more effectively if we make it affordable, accessible, relevant, inclusive, and sustainable.
With a challenger mindset and audacious life goals, our leadership team embarked on their next mission to overhaul an antiquated space by introducing an industry-first subscription-based model and pioneering a cloud-powered, data-driven platform—enabling a personalized, convenient, and frictionless learning experience designed to meet the rising expectations of modern professionals.
Our talent-centric Anywhere-Work-Smart framework combined with sophisticated technologies enables us to transcend geographic boundaries and physical constraints to reach a global audience. We provide our empowered networks with a compelling workforce experience by emphasizing trust, agency, and autonomy, fostering unprecedented life-work harmony, and offering 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 vibrant, borderless community.
Today, Live English’s digital-first, remote-first team collaborates seamlessly across six continents, 88 countries, and 23 time zones to provide individuals with a deliberate 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 cultivating resilient, adaptable, and high-functioning teams starts with a clear and unwavering purpose that motivates and engages, and a profound sense of belonging. We are committed to creating a new world of work driven by emotional trust, workforce empowerment, and an elevated work experience for all team members. These shared behaviors and actions are fundamentally hardwired in our DNA, driving us to create new levels of value for our customers and keeping us aligned in fulfilling our mission and vision.
The customer is our North Star. We cultivate an evolving understanding of their needs and use it to make clear choices—what to build, what to prioritize, and what to leave behind.
We are constantly questioning, never settling for the obvious, the easy, or the convenient. We are forward-thinking, always eager to learn, unlearn, relearn, and stay ahead of change.
We aim higher and move faster to realize a transformative impact. We have the courage and conviction to challenge the status quo and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
We rise in the face of adversity. We own our goals and tackle obstacles head-on. We innovate by embracing new approaches and stay committed to seeing them through to completion.
Our diverse backgrounds, skills and perspectives strengthen our community. We collaborate, give and welcome feedback to help each other grow, and always have each other’s backs.

>> The talent team carefully reviews your resume and evaluates whether your skills align with the role requirements. While it would be wonderful to connect with every applicant, we prioritize those whose skillsets and experience match our current needs.

This is your chance to show us what you’ve got and demonstrate your ability to engage learners.
>> When you’re selected as the most qualified candidate, our talent team will reach out with an offer. Once you accept and sign your contract, they’ll guide you through pre-employment verification, introduce you to our tailored onboarding experience, and ensure you have everything you need for a smooth start.
