Why isn’t all education non-profit?
The teacher-student relationship exists largely under the not-for-profit umbrella, but there are still a few industries out there that profit (comfortably) from it.
Unfortunately, the ESL/EFL industry (loaded with for-profit companies that combine for a net worth of billions) sits at the edge of a social movement waiting to burst.
At Mortar Learning, we imagine a world where English as a Secondary/Foreign Language is no longer for-profit. Thanks to our years of experience, we’ve created a system geared towards giving teachers and students highly efficient ways to teach/learn while reminding them that they’re not just a nameless number in the corporate machine.
We do this by giving them 100% of the profits.
That’s right! Half of it goes to teachers and the other half goes to students.
Imagine learning a language and every time you took a class, spoke with a language partner, or updated your friends on what you’d learned, you were entered for a monthly chance to win the profits of a multi-million dollar company?
I think you’d be more likely to do your homework!
Finally, imagine a world where everyone can communicate using the same language. English is already the language of money and travel. Like mortar, English binds us together, allowing us to learn and understand different cultures and people.
If you’re someone who wants to create change on a truly massive scale, then please reach out!
Help us shift perceptions surrounding for-profit education.
Help us empower students and teachers.
And help us pull the world together through language.
