Chatterbox
Online language learning for professionals and organisations, powered by refugee talent.
The refugee crisis is one of the defining issues of our time… and it’s not going anywhere. Research shows that there will be 1 billion displaced people by 2050. Effective social integration is more critical than ever. Our solution surfaces the talent of highly qualified refugees to plug the global language skills shortage, estimated to cost the UK economy alone around 3.5% of GDP. By employing them to teach their native languages and paying 70% of our profits in salaries, Chatterbox coaches regain access to gainful employment whilst transforming the global outlook of businesses with their cultural and professional expertise. Chatterbox offers online conversation and tuition practice in 12 languages: Arabic, Bengali, French, Hindi, Korean, Mandarin, Persian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Turkish and Urdu. With our AI-powered learning platform students are matched with the most relevant tutor, and individually supported based on their learning goals and progress.
