As generative AI rapidly reshapes education, LingoAce believes the next wave of innovation won't come from adding more AI features, but from rethinking how learning itself is delivered. Tutor Luna reflects that shift: rather than functioning as another AI tutor that answers questions or drills practice sets, it's designed to be an active participant in the learning process, one that understands each learner, adapts instruction, and supports meaningful skill development over time.

"Technology alone doesn't transform education — better learning experiences do," said Hugh Yao, Founder and CEO of LingoAce. "Over the past nine years, we've worked with more than 580,000 learners across 180 countries and regions, and one thing has become increasingly clear: every child learns differently. Tutor Luna reflects our vision for how AI should be used in education, not simply to automate learning, but to understand learners, adapt to their needs, and help them build confidence every step of the way."

At the core of Tutor Luna is an AI-native learning engine that supports the entire learning journey, from interpreting performance to generating personalized tasks, delivering real-time feedback, and adjusting instruction as a learner's needs evolve. Instead of scoring answers as simply right or wrong, the system looks at how a child learns, analyzing spoken responses, pauses, self-corrections, and interaction patterns to build a fuller picture of learning behavior. For example, if a learner repeatedly self-corrects on a specific sound or sentence pattern, the system can flag that as a signal to insert targeted practice, rather than treating it as an isolated mistake. These insights shape pacing, instructional strategy, and the design of future learning activities, creating an experience tailored to each child.

LingoAce sees Tutor Luna as a continuously evolving platform. Its long-term capability roadmap spans structured lesson delivery, adaptive lesson orchestration, personalized learning pathways, and eventually AI-powered mentorship that can support learners throughout their growth journey.

English was intentionally chosen as Tutor Luna's first learning domain. Language learning depends on continuous interaction, immediate feedback, and authentic communication, making it one of the strongest environments for AI-driven personalization. LingoAce believes the capabilities developed through English learning can serve as a foundation for broader applications across education in the future.

Tutor Luna combines years of educational expertise with an AI-native approach to product development. The platform builds upon LingoAce's academic foundation, including internationally recognized curricula, globally aligned teaching standards, certified teacher training programs, and its recent full accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

Tutor Luna was developed by a dedicated AI-native team established within LingoAce to rethink learning for the AI era. Bringing together experts in AI, product, engineering, and learning science, the team built Tutor Luna around a simple principle: AI shouldn't be an add-on; it should be foundational to how learning is designed, delivered, and continuously personalized.

The launch of Tutor Luna marks another milestone in LingoAce's broader commitment to advancing AI-powered education. As AI continues to reshape learning, the company will continue investing in technologies that make education more personalized, adaptive, and accessible for learners worldwide.

SINGAPORE and SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LingoAce, a leading global Edtech company, has earned full accreditation from WASC (Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges) as a Supplementary Education Program. This prestigious recognition places LingoAce among an elite group of institutions, including top-tier private and public schools recognized by one of the world's most rigorous accrediting bodies.

The accreditation covers LingoAce's comprehensive online programs and all of its in-person learning centers globally. This milestone follows the company's recent strategic expansion into ACE Academy, a multi-subject learning platform. It provides teacher-led, AI-enhanced instruction in K-12 Math and English Language Arts (ELA) classes alongside its established Chinese language programs. Since its soft launch in 2025, ACE Academy's Math program alone has seen a 190% increase in enrollment in the second half of the year, underscoring global demand for high-quality, rigorous supplemental learning.

A System Built for Consistency of Excellence

Over the past eight years, LingoAce has built a network of more than 7,000 professionally certified teachers, delivering over 22 million classes to 580,000+ students in over 180 countries. What began as a focused language program has evolved into a comprehensive supplemental learning ecosystem spanning Math, English, and Chinese, delivered through live online classes and immersive, in-person experiences at its learnings centers.

As the company expands, it made deliberate investments in building a solid academic backbone: standards-aligned curriculum, structured teacher selection and development system, and platform-level AI enhancements. Embedded in the entire learning experience, ACE Academy's AI personalizes learning pathways, offers real-time feedback, and equips teachers with actionable recommendations, ensuring academic rigor and measurable outcomes for each student.

WASC accreditation validates this system-level foundation. It recognizes not only the quality of individual courses but also the institutional maturity behind them, ensuring that students worldwide receive consistent, high-quality academic training and achieve measurable learning outcomes, regardless of the academic subjects or teaching formats.

"This accreditation reflects our commitment to educational excellence," said Hugh Yao, Founder and CEO of LingoAce. "We hold ourselves to the highest standards in education. WASC accreditation gives families great assurance that our programs meet the same institutional standards as top U.S. schools. This recognition independently and objectively validates our unwavering commitment to building rigorous, scalable education products and services."

Upholding the Highest Standards whilst Rapid Growth

The global K–12 supplemental education market has grown significantly, yet quality and rigor remain inconsistent. Families often struggle to distinguish high-quality programs from others. This gap makes independent, system-level evaluation critical.

LingoAce proactively pursued WASC accreditation to benchmark against the highest education standards. The evaluation process involved comprehensive, multi-dimensional reviews of the company's global operations, highlighting several core strengths:

• A coherent, system-wide academic framework ensuring consistency across subjects, teaching formats, and regions
• High teaching quality, supported by more than 7,000 carefully selected and certified teachers
• An integrated learning model, spanning live online instruction and in-person experiences
• AI-enabled learning infrastructure, embedding data-driven personalization, real-time feedback, and progress tracking across learning lifecycle

"LingoAce has demonstrated a profound commitment to the WASC criteria for high-quality institutional learning," said Elizabeth Oberreiter, Senior Vice President, Education Growth and Partnerships of WASC. "Their dedication to self-reflection and systemic improvement ensures they are well-positioned to serve their global student body with distinction, maintaining a high standard of academic excellence."

As LingoAce expands its global footprint and subject offerings, WASC provides it with a framework for continuous improvements. "This accreditation reinforces our responsibility to every family that entrusts us with their child's education," Yao added. "It's not only about recognizing where we are today, but it also demonstrates our commitment to maintaining these standards as we continue to grow our business to foster the next generation of global citizens."

Built on LingoAce's decade of experience in education and technology, ACE Academy serves K–12 learners with high-quality teacher-led instruction. The curricula align to U.S. school standards, offers flexible scheduling, and AI-powered learning plans that adapt to each student's academic level and progress – maximizing learning outcomes at scale.

Since soft launching in 2025, ACE Academy's online Math program achieved a 190% increase in enrollment in the second half of the year, growing primarily through word-of-mouth among parents. In total, it has delivered more than 230,000 classes to over 25,000 students globally. The ELA program continues to expand to support a broader range of grade levels. Meanwhile, ACE Academy opened multiple in-person learning centers in the United States, Australia, and Singapore, with further expansion planned.

"What started as an online learning platform for Mandarin Chinese has grown into a globally trusted education partner for core academics," said Hugh Yao, Founder and CEO of LingoAce. "Through years of conversations with families, we've seen how their needs have expanded. Today, parents want high-quality educational solutions that are accessible, deliver measurable results, and can help their children learn with confidence. With ACE Academy, we are building strong foundations in language and math while nurturing curiosity and a lifelong love for learning."

Key Educational Challenges Parents Face Today

Limited rigor in traditional K–12 education: Instruction designed for large, standardized classrooms often prioritizes coverage over depth. This leaves many students underprepared for future academic success and college admissions.

Finite time, energy, and resources: Parents want the best for their children but must balance school, supplemental learning, and a busy life with limited time and budgets. This makes providing consistent, high-quality academic support difficult to sustain.

The AI reality check: As AI reshapes education and work, parents question whether traditional academics still matter. Educators and industry leaders increasingly agree that they do: math builds analytical and problem-solving skills, while language learning supports communication and relationship-building. Students with these strong foundations are more adaptable for future opportunities.

Fulfilling Unmet Academic Needs with ACE Academy

Parents today are not looking for more classes. They want holistic solutions that build strong learning habits, unlock their child's potential, and support long-term success. Through a combination of live online instruction and in-person learning centers, ACE Academy offers:

• World-class teachers: Carefully selected and rigorously trained educators to ensure consistent, high-quality instruction across subjects and regions.
• School-aligned curricula: Programs follow North American grade-level standards, supporting both public-school benchmarks and advanced private-school pacing.
• Small, interactive classes: Student-centered learning environments foster engagement, participation, and deeper understanding.
• Future-ready programs: Courses go beyond content mastery to develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills through real-world applications.

Maximizing Results with Teacher-Led, AI-Enhanced Learning

Underpinning ACE Academy's rapid expansion is the company's proprietary AI learning infrastructure, developed through classroom analytics and large-scale teaching experience. Rather than replacing teachers, ACE Academy's AI serves as their co-pilot. It is designed to complement teachers by enhancing instruction quality, improving learning efficiency, and enabling personalized learning at scale across subjects.

Built for real classrooms, ACE Academy's AI-powered learning includes:

• AI Tutor: Before and after class, the AI tutor provides on-demand guidance, step-by-step explanations and adaptive exercises, ensuring students get timely support and feedback.
• AI-personalized Math Practice: The AI-driven math system generates structured practice challenges, tracks concept mastery, and identifies learning gaps in real time. The combination of live instruction and intelligent practice delivers optimal learning outcomes.
• AI-powered Family Concierge: Acting as a centralized entry point, the AI concierge provides parents with progress updates, academic insights, schedules, and next-step recommendations — all in one place. This enables parents to make more informed decisions based on a clearer understanding of their children's learning journey.

AI-Enabled Outcomes at Scale

At ACE Academy, accelerated AI integration enables more effective, transparent, and tailored learning experiences:

• Adaptive Learning Plans: Personalized learning paths are built around each student's academic level and goals. It combines expert teaching with dynamically generated practices and feedback that adapts to a student's progress.
• Proactive learning support: AI-driven insights identify learning gaps early, recommend timely interventions, and guide teachers and families toward effective next steps.
• Measurable results: Clear learning objectives, continuous assessment, and AI-powered progress tracking turn daily learning into visible academic outcomes that parents can follow, understand, and share.

Looking Ahead

The official launch of ACE Academy marks a significant milestone for LingoAce. In the years ahead, the company aims to expand its offerings and introduce test preparation programs to support students' long-term goals.

"As we scale, our mission remains the same: to help parents raise the next generation of globally aware, critical thinkers and strong communicators," said Hugh Yao, Founder and CEO of LingoAce.

Designed for overseas learners aged 5-12, including both Chinese heritage and multicultural children, Ace Chinese marks the first comprehensive textbook formally published by an online Chinese education brand. Its launch signifies a meaningful milestone in LingoAce's long-term commitment to international Chinese education, reflecting years of sustained investment in curriculum R&D, classroom practice, and technology-enhanced learning, as well as recognition from one of the most respected academic publishers in the field.

The collaboration between LingoAce and PUP builds on a long-standing partnership. As early as 2021, the two organizations signed a strategic cooperation agreement, initiating copyright collaborations on reading materials and other content projects. During the 2024 World Chinese Language Conference, they further deepened their ties by signing the publication agreement for Ace Chinese. By combining PUP's academic expertise in language education publishing with LingoAce's extensive learner data and frontline teaching experience across the globe, the two parties have been exploring an innovative pathway that integrates EdTech with academic publishing.

"Peking University Press has always been dedicated to advancing Chinese language education worldwide," Xiaoxia Deng at PUP, speaking at the New Book Launch Session of the Conference. "Our collaboration with LingoAce demonstrates how academic rigor and innovative educational technology can together support the next generation of global Chinese learners. We believe the publication of Ace Chinese marks an important milestone for the international Chinese language education."

"This partnership embodies our shared mission to bring authentic and effective Chinese learning experiences to students worldwide," said Hugh Yao, Founder and CEO at LingoAce and Editor-in-Chief of Ace Chinese. "By placing learners first, Ace Chinese integrates pedagogy, technology, and culture—moving beyond teaching language skills to nurturing curiosity, identity, and global competence."

The textbook series draws upon PUP's extensive expertise in Chinese language pedagogy while integrating LingoAce's insights from teaching over 400,000 learners across more than 100 countries. Each unit blends clear linguistic progression, cross-cultural understanding, and digital-age adaptability—helping students not only learn the Chinese language, but also connect with its cultural context.

Built around real-life contexts such as family, school, festivals, and community, the series adopts thematic and project-based learning, to help children acquire language naturally through listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It aligns with ACTFL, YCT, and HSK standards, while referencing Common Core, AP, and IB frameworks to ensure global relevance and consistency.

Each level includes core textbooks, workbooks, flashcards, placement tools, and digital audio materials, forming a complete learner-centered ecosystem. The series will first be rolled out across LingoAce's AI-powered global classrooms upon publication, driving the company's next phase of curriculum and content innovation.

"Language learning should not be about rote repetition—it should be an immersive and meaningful experience," said Dr. Xiaoqiu Xu, Vice President of Academics at LingoAce and Editor-in-Chief of Ace Chinese. "In developing this series, we drew on heritage and second-language acquisition theories, as well as cross-cultural education research. From vocabulary distribution and topic selection to visual storytelling, every design choice follows children's natural language development patterns."

The New Book Launch Session at the 2025 World Chinese Language Conference also featured Bo Liu, Head of Chinese Curriculum at LingoAce and Associate Editor-in-Chief of Ace Chinese, who presented the series' academic design and LingoAce's experience in global Chinese education.

By focusing on learners' real needs and global learning contexts, LingoAce continues to upgrade its curriculum and content ecosystem—bridging academic excellence, technology, and cultural connection to empower every learner to succeed as a global citizen.

Designed for Global Families, Built for Local Communities
Since 2017, LingoAce has served over 400,000 families across 100+ countries and regions with high-quality Mandarin Chinese, English, and Math programs. In cities with high concentrations of multilingual and multicultural families, such as New York and Melbourne, the company identified growing demand for structured, immersive in-person learning options.

Ace Academy was created in direct response. Designed for learners ages 4–15, each center offers immersive, small-group instruction in Mandarin Chinese, Math, and English Language Arts (ELA). The curriculum blends global academic standards with local cultural context, helping students thrive in multilingual environments while feeling seen, supported, and connected.

Each center is more than a classroom, it's a trusted, family-first learning community that provides real social interaction, emotional support, and personalized attention beyond the lesson itself. Through a seamless online-to-offline experience, students benefit from consistent pacing, cohesive content, and a nurturing environment that supports long-term growth.

Launched in 2021, Ace Academy has swiftly gained traction among families across multiple cities, earning a reputation as the leading choice for blended learning—powered by a strong curriculum, custom teaching systems, and a committed teaching staff.

"Ace Academy is a key pillar of our blended learning strategy," said Hugh Yao, founder and CEO of LingoAce. "What we're building goes far beyond physical classrooms, we're creating a connected global network that brings immersive local learning together with the scale and flexibility of our online programs while cultivating warm, belonging–centered learning communities. This is not just part of our global business expansion, it's a continuation of our long-term commitment to global families."

"Each Ace Academy will serve not only local learners, but also become a vital support hub for our online students, offering meaningful in-person engagement and a growing range of value-added experiences," Yao added.

A Hybrid Learning Brand Rooted in Culture and Community
Ace Academy emphasizes both academic excellence and cultural depth, supporting student development across languages, logic, and critical thinking. The Mandarin Chinese program is rooted in cultural heritage, helping students confidently speak, use, and express the language in cross-cultural contexts. Math and English Language Arts (ELA) courses further strengthen logic and communication skills, all delivered through an integrated, single-platform approach that reduces the burden of juggling multiple providers.

Each lesson is crafted 200+ hours by LingoAce's global research teams, backed by a $60 million+ investment in curriculum development. The integrated design across linguistic, cultural, and cognitive dimensions guarantees a cohesive experience between online and offline formats, delivering seamless learning continuity.

The results are already resonating with local families:
"Ace Academy is the highlight of my daughter's week," said the parent of a student at the Great Neck, New York center. "She found a warm and immersive space where she feels understood, and with the teacher's support, she's made a real breakthrough in expressing herself and building confidence."

"Having both online and in-person lessons really helped my son build his math learning momentum," said a parent from the Melbourne center. "He's more engaged in math, more eager to ask questions, and has made close friends, he absolutely loves coming to Ace Academy."

Scaling Blended Learning, Center by Center
Following the achievement of profitability and positive cash flow in 2024, LingoAce is entering its next growth phase. Over the past six months, several Ace Academy centers have established operations through aggressive site selection, opening, and enrollment, while drawing strong engagement from local communities. With each new location, LingoAce deepens its commitment to building an inclusive, scalable education ecosystem for the future of global learning.

The company also plans to introduce a range of value-added, in-person services to complement its online offerings, including academic boot camps, cultural workshops, in-person assessments, and family events, further enriching the student experience.

The integration of industry-first innovative Stage Tests, fueled by AI diagnostics and big data analytics, revolutionizes the "Teach, Learn, Practice, Test, Assess" cycle. Learners now benefit from clear, customized learning pathways, while teachers and parents gain invaluable insights to provide targeted and effective support.

Precision: The Key to Unlocking Language Mastery

In response to the surging global interest in Mandarin Chinese as a second language, LingoAce has strategically reimagined its Advanced Chinese Program to cater to the diverse needs of its international learners. Drawing upon extensive user feedback and rich classroom experience, this upgrade introduces comprehensive enhancements designed to empower learners to advance with both clarity and unwavering confidence.

At the heart of this transformation are the Stage Tests, strategically designed checkpoint assessments that meticulously evaluate learning outcomes, pinpoint specific areas for growth, and guide targeted remediation. Leveraging AI-driven insights, these tests generate individualized learning blueprints, ensuring learners progress with focus and clarity. Furthermore, these results equip teachers with the data needed to fine-tune their instruction and provide parents with a transparent window into their child's progress.

Recognizing the vital role of family engagement, LingoAce is proud to introduce a dedicated Parent-Teacher Conference module. Through one-on-one meetings, teachers will leverage Stage Test results and daily classroom observations to collaborate with parents, ensuring aligned learning strategies and a shared commitment to each learner's success.

Four Pillars of Precision Learning:

This significant upgrade is built upon three fundamental pillars: precision, efficiency, and personalization, culminating in a dramatically improved learning experience:

• A Fully Integrated "Teach, Learn, Practice, Test, Assess" Learning Loop: With years of leadership in Mandarin Chinese education, LingoAce now seamlessly integrates the Stage Test into its already robust curriculum framework, creating a closed-loop system that provides families with clear visibility into progress and equips teachers with actionable data.
• Industry-first Targeted Stage Tests: Addressing Learning Gaps with Precision: Carefully aligned with learners' individual profiles, the course structure, and their study rhythm, each Stage Test effectively reinforces key concepts, precisely identifies areas needing attention, and provides learners with a tailored roadmap for continuous improvement.
• AI-Powered Insights and Data-Driven Plannings: Leveraging sophisticated AI tools, the program generates personalized reports following each Stage Test. These reports offer clear guidance and dynamic learning plans meticulously tailored to individual progress, making the learning journey both smarter and more efficient.
• Enhanced Collaboration Through Parent-Teacher Conferences: In direct response to valuable parent feedback, the upgraded program now features regular Parent-Teacher Conferences. During these meetings, teachers provide detailed progress updates and collaborate with parents to co-develop effective growth strategies, ensuring comprehensive support for every learner from both school and home.

Shaping Global Citizens Through Precision Education

"Building on a strong 2024 marked by positive cash flow and sustained profitability across our core business, we are making strategic investments in pedagogical innovation," affirmed Hugh Yao, Founder and CEO of LingoAce. "This upgraded Advanced Chinese Program offers learners a more intelligent and accelerated path to fluency, while providing parents with a clearer understanding of their child's educational journey. It's a pivotal step towards fostering stronger home-school partnerships and achieving superior learning outcomes. And this is just the beginning, we plan to roll out Stage Tests across all of our Mandarin Chinese programs within the year."

Yao further emphasized, "At LingoAce, we are deeply committed to harnessing the power of technology to personalize learning experiences and unlock the full potential of every learner. By making education more precise, we are empowering today's learners to cultivate meaningful skills and develop the global confidence necessary for tomorrow's world."

As a trailblazer in Mandarin Chinese education, LingoAce remains dedicated to driving continuous innovation across its diverse range of products and courses. The company is committed to pushing the boundaries of intelligent, personalized education, empowering learners worldwide to develop into confident, open-minded, and globally competitive individuals.

With the launch of LingoAce Math and LingoAce Music, global edtech company's  expansion connects even more learners to the best teachers in the world through technology

SINGAPORE and SAN MATEO, Calif., June 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LingoAce, the leading preK-12 online learning platform that's building fluency and opening a world of possibilities, announces today the launch of LingoAce Math and LingoAce Music. Following the well-received introduction of the company's English language learning program in 2022, the success of its award-winning online learning platform will now be extended to parents looking to elevate their children's proficiency in math and music.

These new course offerings come on the back of the company's recent milestone: more than 10 million classes have been taught worldwide to students from more than 100 countries. Through LingoAce's award-winning online learning platform, students can connect to passionate and professionally accredited teachers using a proprietary research-based curriculum in a seamless virtual classroom. 

"With the official launch of math and music, we expand our world-class learning experience and take another step towards achieving our mission to make learning for kids more engaging, effective, and accessible through technology, says Hugh Yao, Founder and CEO of LingoAce. "LingoAce was started with the idea that young learners should not be limited by their geography – that they should be able to unlock their full potential by learning from the best teachers in the world. Since launching in beta earlier this year, our students have shown a strong commitment to learning and demand for more subjects beyond languages."

Unlocking every child's full math potential with LingoAce Math

Adopting the world-leading Singapore Math curriculum, LingoAce Math aims to unlock the full math potential in children while cultivating a lasting interest in understanding numbers, problem solving, and analytical thinking. The curriculum was designed with Beth Curran, who is the renowned author of the Singapore Math textbook, Dimensions Math, and is a math teacher and coach with more than 20 years of experience. Taught by teachers with at least five years of experience in American and Canadian schools, LingoAce Math adopts the Spiral Learning Curriculum and aligns with U.S. Common Core Standards. Students will learn to think mathematically by picking up key concepts such as bar modelling and 4-step problem solving through the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach, which helps students grasp increasingly abstract mathematical concepts.

LingoAce Math will turbo-charge what students ages 6-15 are learning at school. With instruction in English, students meet twice a week for 55-minute classes on a set schedule. No class is bigger than six students, encouraging the exchange of problem-solving approaches and mathematical thinking without compromising on personalized attention to reinforce mastery of the subject.

Since commencing trials six months ago, parents have lauded the LingoAce Math program for its well-prepared and systematic teaching methodology and have demanded more. LingoAce Math expands each student academically with content beyond the school syllabus, while focusing on nurturing mathematical thinking in young minds.

Personalized practice to guide every child's musical journey with LingoAce Music

True mastery of music for budding musicians rest upon the vital foundation of practice, and parents often spend time acting as facilitator and a pillar of support. LingoAce Music introduces LingoAce's signature personalized instruction for more than 30 musical instruments, including the piano and the violin, as well as traditional Chinese instruments such as the zither (guzheng) and the lute (pipa). Through private, one-on-one guided practice with professional teachers hailing from top music institutions, children can optimize the time they spend practicing at home and achieve the next level of musical proficiency. With instruction available in English and Chinese languages to children ages 6-15 years old, LingoAce Music tailors every live lesson to each student's progress, whether it's preparing for a music exam, competition, or simply mastering a new score.

All teachers with LingoAce Music undergo a rigorous nine-step onboarding process to ensure each student is adequately supported in their musical journey. From technique to expression, LingoAce Music's teachers offer timely intervention and guidance, making every practice session much more effective.

With nearly 4 million classes taught in North America, American and Canadian learners drive strongest demand for Chinese program while English program gains momentum in Europe.

SINGAPORE and SAN MATEO, Calif., June 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LingoAce, the leading preK-12 online learning platform building fluency and opening a world of possibilities, today celebrates a new milestone: more than 10 million classes have been taught worldwide to students from more than 100 countries. Since launching in 2017, LingoAce's award-winning preK-12 online learning platform now offers Mandarin Chinese and English language learning programs for children of all language proficiency levels and cultural backgrounds.

"We believe the future of education is personalization. With the recent advancements in AI technology, we are closer to a future where we can truly serve every learner and cater to how they learn best, said Hugh Yao, Founder and CEO of LingoAce. "Language learning for children has been a critical starting point for us to develop an effective and engaging online learning platform. In the last year, we made critical research and development investments to refine our proprietary curriculum and build a seamless virtual classroom. Today, our teachers can engage any learner effectively on our platform – no matter their cultural background or prior exposure to the language."

Rising popularity of technology-driven language learning

LingoAce's growth and success since launching in 2017 has largely been driven by word-of-mouth amongst Chinese diaspora families around the world. Driving the strongest interest are families from North America with nearly 4 million classes taught collectively. Today, 4 in 5 students in the U.S. have studied with LingoAce for more than a year – many of them referred by other parents.

One of LingoAce's first North American students, Junqian started his language learning journey with the company five years ago. As a third-generation immigrant, Junqian's parents felt it was important for their son to be bicultural and bilingual. After visiting several offline and online teaching institutions, they enrolled him in LingoAce's online Mandarin Chinese language learning program where Junqian has blossomed.

"In our community, it is common to see many children resistant to learning Chinese. With LingoAce however, we could see Junqian visibly motivated to embrace the language. From saying his first word to reciting Chinese poems with ease, his teacher Ms. Guo has played an integral role in his progress," shared Junqian's mom, Helen Liang.

Through LingoAce's award-winning online learning platform, students can connect to passionate and professionally accredited teachers using a proprietary research-based curriculum in a seamless virtual classroom. Each element of the learning experience has been designed and continuously refined for children growing up today:

• Instruction: Each of LingoAce's 4,000-plus teachers underwent a rigorous screening process with a 2% acceptance rate. They are continuously trained in the latest teaching methods for engaging students through games, animated storytelling, and visual teaching aids.
• Content: Every lesson is the product of more than 200 hours of curriculum development, teacher training, and quality control. Each interactive game, picture book, and assignment are thoughtfully designed to clearly introduce new concepts and reinforce previous lessons.
• Technology: With LingoAce's virtual classroom app available on iOS, Android, and web, students can take classes from any computer or mobile device. Meanwhile, parents can manage their child's class schedule and monitor their learning progress with ease.
