About
OKpanda is an English learning platform that includes instant messaging, live voice, and digital curricula. In the same way Uber allows anybody with a car to be a Limo service, we allow any qualified English teacher to build their own English classroom. We target the multi-billion dollar English learning space in Asia, the majority of whose revenues still go to brick and mortar language schools. Despite a growing amount of great (and free) content, a learner’s problem is knowing what to use, how to use it, and not giving up. Our teachers create unique personalized learning paths for students using OKpanda’s live-video classes and cutting edge digital curricula. We solve students’ #1 cause of failure, giving up, while delivering an awesome learning experience. In December 2013 we released OKpanda英会話 on Japan’s iOS App Store, hit #1 in the edu category and got 300K+ installs in only 12 weeks. We are executing against our vision, growing fast, and looking for amazing people to join us.
