Virtual German Teacher

About the company

Learnlight is an EdTech company that believes in putting people first. We take every opportunity to do that with enthusiasm, initiative, and commitment. We find joy and deep satisfaction in delighting our clients, empowering our learners, and helping our team to excel in everything they do.

We came to life in 2007, born from a dream to bridge the gap between the worlds of corporate education and transformative technology. Our vision was to create an exceptional EdTech company for international enterprises, a company that could harness leading-edge technology to optimize instructor-led training (ILT) rather than replace it.

Learnlight is built on the foundations of opportunity, learning and flexibility for all. We are also committed to helping our clients transition to sustainable training, saving an estimated thousands of tons of carbon every year by being a 100% paperless and fully distributed virtual team.

We’ve worked with clients from all corners of the globe, obsessively refined and optimized our platform, and built a team of 300+ incredibly talented and passionate people who are at the heart of everything we’ve achieved.
