About this business
An online language school run from Plymouth, teaching learners by live video lessons from home. Students book individual and small-group classes in a range of languages, and a growing share comes from companies paying for staff tuition. Since 2021 turnover has climbed from £635k to £970k, and EBITDA from £151k to £176k, though margins have narrowed as tutor costs rose with demand. A team of 12 handles scheduling, sales and teaching. There are no premises; tutors and staff work remotely, so the business can be run from anywhere.
