Our founders at EF Education First were the first to understand that language mastery comes from immersing yourself in a country's culture, as well as having exceptional teachers.
Our technology, originally envisioned with Apple and supported by the University of Cambridge, recreates that immersive learning experience online. We get your teams speaking from day one in real-life scenarios and immersive role-playing, preparing your business for success.
In Efekta Hyperclass™ – our revolutionary, conversation-based, and interactive learning environment – our trained teachers work with virtual environments to simulate real-life business scenarios. With speech-recognition AI and highly contextual learning, learners get hyper-personalized feedback in real-time, leading to accelerated progress for entire teams.
A great teacher is irreplaceable. They bring empathy, motivation, and support to the learning experience. Our Efekta Teachers™ provide mentorship and business experience to guide your teams.
Drawing from the world’s largest network of 6,000+ language teachers, our online school offers access to over 3,000 certified, digital-first teachers. Most have at least 5 years of teaching experience with practical business experience to bring to the classroom.
Our extensive research and experience have taught us that real learning requires structure. With us, each learner selects their proficiency goals and is given a personalized learning journey to maximize progress.
This typically includes a combination of private classes in our Hyperclass™ environment, group lessons, and self-paced study broken down into manageable units. Now with teacher-led group classes every 30 minutes around the clock – in any time zone, on any device.
“Our research shows that 'learning by doing' creates unique neurological pathways that embed learnings more effectively. These trigger an immediate response when the learner reencounters the same context.
We bring that immersive & experiential language learning to your workplace, 100% online. We immerse learners in environments that simulate real-life business and travel scenarios, fully preparing them for when that context reappears.”

We conducted the world’s largest research on language learning effectiveness. Here are the top 3 learnings that we applied to our Efekta Method™:
· Learners who make the most progress speak at least 1,000 words every week consistently, equal to 1 private or group class per week.
· Successful learning also requires a balance of teacher-led classes and self-study within an interactive learning environment.
· Role-playing is like learning in a country where the language is spoken, preparing employees for confidence in the real world of work in their target language.
With these 3 key ingredients, we deliver a method that is proven to deliver up to 4.5x faster learning progress than other providers.
In our intuitive Customer Reporting Center, you can watch your teams’ progress in real time, segmented by role and visually represented for ease. We also put learning targets for your programs based on goals set by you, which are tracked by our support teams to ensure your teams find their voice, faster.
Our research shows that learning in context creates unique neurological pathways, so that when the learner reencounters that context, the response is embedded from the experiential learning. We bring that immersive & experiential language learning to your workplace, 100% online. We immerse your learners in environments that simulate real-life business and travel scenarios, fully preparing them for when that context reappears in the workplace.
