SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Ringle (https://ie.ringleplus.com/), a premium private online English tutoring

service that connects learners with tutors sourced from leading universities in

the US and the UK, will soon start serving Japanese users. Ringle is a member

of Borrn2Global Centre (http://www.born2global.com/).

What makes Ringle unique is its pairing of users with tutors from Ivy League

universities or other top-tier higher education institutions in the US or UK.

Ringle enables users to engage in thought-provoking discussions with the tutors

and receive corrections and paraphrasing suggestions in real-time. Since its

founding in 2015, Ringle's service has more than tripled in size each year,

earning a total of over 100,000 users worldwide. This year, the company has

been focusing on growth outside of Korea after finishing up a series A

investment with USD 18 million funding. Launching the service in Japanese is a

part of Ringle's global expansion effort.

prestigious university and capable of teaching advanced business/academic

English

- Over 900 proprietary lesson materials on global current events on diverse

topics including business and culture

In an article about Ringle,

TechCrunch(https://techcrunch.com/2021/06/09/seoul-based-ringle-raises-18m-serie

s-a-for-its-one-on-one-english-tutoring-platform/?renderMode=ie11), a renowned

global media outlet specializing in startups, said that the company had

"created a niche for itself by focusing on adults first, with courses like

business English and interview preparation" when "many of the highest-profile

English tutoring platforms focus on children."

Ringle selects its tutors through a strict screening process, vetting them

based on their ability to teach advanced English for academic or business

settings. Among other things, tutor candidates are required to submit proof of

enrollment or graduation, verify their school email address and conduct a mock

lesson.

Ringle provides over 900 proprietary lesson materials on current events or

business-related topics. During the lessons, tutors use Ringle Docs, a tool

developed by Ringle that enables tutors to correct and/or edit the users'

English in real-time. The corrections are available both throughout and after

the lessons, helping the users with initial comprehension as well as post-class

review.

After each class, Ringle provides an AI-based script, created using STT

(speech-to-text) technology, along with a recording of the class. The service

also provides a list of synonyms of words frequently used by the learner, as

well as an analysis of speech pace, vocabulary range and frequently-used words

and phrases, to assist with diagnosis and maximize learning efficiency.

Ringle's CEO and co-founder Sungpah Lee said, "In 2022, we will further enhance

Ringle Docs and our overall learning platform to finally bring results of a

joint project with KAIST's HCI [Human Computer Interaction] research team,

which will provide users with a fine-tuned diagnosis of complexity, accuracy,

and fluency of their English."

Ringle's CEO and co-founder Seunghun Lee said, "Of Ringle's current pool of

users, approximately 30 percent live outside of Korea. Most users are employees

of prominent companies, such as Google, McKinsey & Company, and Boston

Consulting Group, or graduates of renowned universities such as Harvard or the

Wharton School. As part of our efforts to address the needs of users all around

the world wishing to attain a sophisticated level of English proficiency,

Ringle is releasing our service in Japanese, Vietnamese, and Chinese. We hope

that many Japanese users working in the global market find our service helpful."
