About Us
Who We Are
We are a team of passionate teachers, developers, and education evangelists who are on a mission to provide high-quality digital education to the masses. More than 50,000 students across Southeast Asia have studied through our app so far – and we're just getting started!
What We Do
We make English, Digital Skills and Soft Skills accessible to all by providing affordable high-quality courses through our learning app. We teach using the learner’s native language, so it doesn't feel alien or scary to them. We are backed by close to 30 years of R&D and 21 years of teaching experience. Our proven SOLS methodology is Cambridge-aligned, ensuring you are eligible to sit for the Cambridge exam when you successfully complete our Work Essential English or Business Essential English course.
Why We Do It
While English is the passport to a better job, better studies and overall better life, we understand that having a good grasp of digital and soft skills gives students an upper hand in this age of technology. High-quality education should not be exclusive only to those who have money or are attend expensive private schools. Education should be inclusive. It should be accessible to all.
Where We Go
We want to see a future where anyone, regardless of where they come from, has an equal chance to offer their skills from their home to any country across the world. We want to provide everyone with an equal opportunity for a better future.
Our Values
Continuous Learning
Learning never stops. We are firm believers in continuous learning. We encourage teammates to take on new knowledge and share what they've learned with the team, this helps us to constantly improve ourselves. The more we know, the better we can serve you.
Opportunity
We create opportunity by providing an environment where people can grow – regardless of their background. We value feedback and freedom and allow each team member to test out their ideas.
Diversity
Our SOLS edu team is composed of brilliant individuals of different cultures from all over the world. Each one of them is contributing to an open, creative and supportive team culture. This is also reflected in our app, where we currently serve native speakers of Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin & Bahasa Indonesia languages. We're constantly adding more!
