WORK & KEEP LEARNING.
We believe in staying insatiably curious and fostering continuous learning to help you build valuable skills and stay ahead in today’s rapidly changing landscape.
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 impacted all aspects of our lives. Due, in part, to the convergence of this interdependent megatrend with the never-ending parade of accelerated technological change, we posed new questions to fundamentally redefine the educational paradigm: How can we help people demonstrate mastery and cultivate their abilities to effectively collaborate in the global arena? How can we radically reimagine the way work gets done as we advance towards a dynamic digital future and rewrite the rules for creating, delivering, and maximizing value and impact? Furthermore, how can we craft a future-oriented vision and build a future-ready organization that can thrive in the digital normal by anticipating shifts before they happen and responding nimbly to new challenges?
Every idea begins with a problem. In a nutshell, today’s workplace is built for the 20th-century, not the 21st. Outdated, analog-era leadership practices and rituals are ill-equipped to navigate the complexity and fast-paced demands of the modern workplace. Additionally, overly complicated 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, sustainable, and inclusive.
With a challenger mindset and audacious life goals—our leadership team embarked on their next mission to boldly overhaul an antiquated industry by introducing an industry-first subscription model and pioneering a cloud-powered learning platform to better meet the evolving expectations and preferences of modern professionals, while delivering a personalized, convenient, and frictionless learning experience.
Our talent-centric Anywhere-Work-Smart framework combined with sophisticated technologies enables us to transcend geographic boundaries and physical constraints for reaching a global audience. We provide our empowered networks with a compelling workforce experience by emphasizing autonomy and flexibility, 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, 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 cultivating resilient and high-performing teams starts with fostering meaning and purpose, and a profound sense of belonging. We strive to create a work-from-everywhere world driven by emotional trust, workforce empowerment, and shared accountability. These deeply held beliefs and actions are fundamentally hardwired in our DNA, driving us to do the best work of our lives and keeping us aligned in fulfilling our mission 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 settling for the obvious, the easy, or the convenient. We are forward-thinking, always eager to learn, unlearn, relearn, while embracing change.
We aim higher and move faster to realize our shared ambitions. We have the courage and conviction to challenge the status quo, and stretch the boundaries of the possible.
We rise in the face of adversity. We own our goals and tackle obstacles head-on. We innovate by trying new ideas and stay dedicated to seeing them through to completion.
Our diverse backgrounds, skill sets, and perspectives strengthen our community. We collaborate, give and welcome feedback to help each other grow, and have each other’s backs.
