Ringle, an online platform that matches English learners with Ivy League tutors, starts serving Japanese users
SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Ringle (https://ie.ringleplus.com/), a premium private online English tutoring 
service that connects learners with tutors sourced from leading universities in 
the US and the UK, will soon start serving Japanese users. Ringle is a member 
of Borrn2Global Centre (http://www.born2global.com/). 

What makes Ringle unique is its pairing of users with tutors from Ivy League 
universities or other top-tier higher education institutions in the US or UK. 
Ringle enables users to engage in thought-provoking discussions with the tutors 
and receive corrections and paraphrasing suggestions in real-time. Since its 
founding in 2015, Ringle's service has more than tripled in size each year, 
earning a total of over 100,000 users worldwide. This year, the company has 
been focusing on growth outside of Korea after finishing up a series A 
investment with USD 18 million funding. Launching the service in Japanese is a 
part of Ringle's global expansion effort.

Ringle is set apart from other language EdTech companies by its

- A pool of 1,000+ tutors who are current students or graduates of a 
prestigious university and capable of teaching advanced business/academic 
English 
- Over 900 proprietary lesson materials on global current events on diverse 
topics including business and culture 
- Live and on-demand webinars conducted by tutors 
- Online/offline seminars on studying abroad or foreign employment 
- AI-based feedback report that analyzes the user's speech speed, vocabulary

In an article about Ringle, 
TechCrunch(https://techcrunch.com/2021/06/09/seoul-based-ringle-raises-18m-serie
s-a-for-its-one-on-one-english-tutoring-platform/?renderMode=ie11), a renowned 
global media outlet specializing in startups, said that the company had 
"created a niche for itself by focusing on adults first, with courses like 
business English and interview preparation" when "many of the highest-profile 
English tutoring platforms focus on children."

Ringle selects its tutors through a strict screening process, vetting them 
based on their ability to teach advanced English for academic or business 
settings. Among other things, tutor candidates are required to submit proof of 
enrollment or graduation, verify their school email address and conduct a mock 
lesson.

Ringle provides over 900 proprietary lesson materials on current events or 
business-related topics. During the lessons, tutors use Ringle Docs, a tool 
developed by Ringle that enables tutors to correct and/or edit the users' 
English in real-time. The corrections are available both throughout and after 
the lessons, helping the users with initial comprehension as well as post-class 
review.

After each class, Ringle provides an AI-based script, created using STT 
(speech-to-text) technology, along with a recording of the class. The service 
also provides a list of synonyms of words frequently used by the learner, as 
well as an analysis of speech pace, vocabulary range and frequently-used words 
and phrases, to assist with diagnosis and maximize learning efficiency.

Ringle's CEO and co-founder Sungpah Lee said, "In 2022, we will further enhance 
Ringle Docs and our overall learning platform to finally bring results of a 
joint project with KAIST's HCI [Human Computer Interaction] research team, 
which will provide users with a fine-tuned diagnosis of complexity, accuracy, 
and fluency of their English."

Ringle's CEO and co-founder Seunghun Lee said, "Of Ringle's current pool of 
users, approximately 30 percent live outside of Korea. Most users are employees 
of prominent companies, such as Google, McKinsey & Company, and Boston 
Consulting Group, or graduates of renowned universities such as Harvard or the 
Wharton School. As part of our efforts to address the needs of users all around 
the world wishing to attain a sophisticated level of English proficiency, 
Ringle is releasing our service in Japanese, Vietnamese, and Chinese. We hope 
that many Japanese users working in the global market find our service helpful."
