Purpose

Astrid gives everyone access to the global talent market by helping them become fluent, confident English speakers.

Reaching your full potential is not just a personal matter. It’s also family matter. And a matter for your future employer.

And in the post-pandemic talent market, being a confident, fluent English speaker is the only remaining hurdle.

We believe that true self-actualization, for both talent and employers, will not happen until the hiring process is based on skillset, rather than on

background.

That is why we want to enable a better future for young learners everywhere by making top quality education accessible to all.
