Fluentify is an online language tutoring website. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, the company is privately owned and operated by Fluentify LTD.[1] The platform offers online language classes with selected native speakers.
History
Fluentify was founded in February 2013 and launched into public beta in May 2013. The same month, the company was selected to join London-based Accelerator Academy for three months of training. In March 2014, Fluentify announced that it had raised $410k in angel funding from the banker Stefano Marsaglia.[2] Marsaglia is a prominent M&A banker, currently the co-head of corporate and investment banking at Mediobanca,[3][4] Italy’s biggest publicly traded investment bank.[5]
Working as a tutor
Fluentify runs on a marketplace platform model where it connects students and tutors and enables transactions without hiring any tutor individually.[6] Fluentify scales by increasing the number of students and tutors and matching them with each other.[7] The company claims that top tutors can earn up to £2,500 per month.[8]
