●TutorABC works with over 1,000 schools, universities, and companies to help Taiwan achieve its bilingual goals.
Hong Kong's South China Morning Post (南華早報) recently published an article on April 20th, titled "Taiwan wants to be bilingual by 2030, lifting English proficiency to take ‘another step’ to aid economy." The article outlines how Taiwan continues to struggle and compete with other Asian countries in the region like Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, and India.
Taiwan's DPP government has allocated NT$30 billion (US$1 billion) of spending over the next 5 years to support this initiative, which includes specific targets for compulsory education and the promotion of bilingualism in the civil service. The move is expected to make Taiwan more attractive to investors and tourists, and also help domestic companies seek more business overseas.
TutorABC, the world's leading online English learning platform in Taiwan, is well-positioned to help the country achieve its bilingual goals. With over 20 years of experience in providing English language education online, TutorABC already partners with over 1,000 different schools, universities, and companies throughout Taiwan.
TutorABC's Chairman and CEO, Samuel Yang, was previously a senior investment banker at Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch where he managed over USD 3 billion. At the same time, he was also the recruiting manager responsible for recruiting MBA students from universities in Asia.
He says, “It was always very hard to recruit students from Taiwan, when compared to students from Singapore, Hong Kong, or the overseas Chinese students studying at US or UK universities.” Taiwanese students often struggled because, he added, “their level of English was too low, they had limited international experiences, and very few had any international qualifications like the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Certified Financial Planner (CFP), or Financial Risk Manager (FRM) qualifications.”
He further notes that, “Taiwan has plenty of academically smart, positive, and hardworking students, but unless they dramatically improve their levels of English, study abroad, or gain more international experiences, they will continue to underperform their peers from other Asian countries.”
TutorABC is committed to helping Taiwan achieve its bilingual goals by providing high-quality English language courses to students of all ages and backgrounds. Its innovative AI technology platform, experienced teachers, and content from its global partners Disney English, Oxford, Barron’s and Kaplan, will help ensure it continues to make significant contributions to this important national initiative.
TutorABC's language programs follow a lifelong learning model by supporting its students throughout every stage of their lives - from age 5 all the way up to age 106 for its oldest student. Since 2004, over 100 million students, 30,000 teachers, in over 100 different countries have successfully used TutorABC's online language platform for learning English and Chinese.
TutorABC continues to expand and provide a comprehensive range of language, educational, test preparation, and study abroad programs for both its junior and adult students – all around the world.
