Company Description

Jiliguala are dedicated to helping kids in China realise their full potential to learn the English language.

Jiliguala was founded in 2014 by Cathy Hsu and Tony Hsieh when they decided to quit their jobs at Google, take a leap of faith and pursue a future combining education and technology. With over 6 million users to date, it has been an exciting and busy few years! Head office is based in Shanghai, China, amongst the hustle and bustle of an incredible city. Their office is located in a reclaimed art/work space on the Suzhou creek - don’t be shy to drop by next time you’re in the neighbourhood. Their passion? Educating impressionable youth on the English language! They work relentlessly on their very own, self developed app which has an integrated teaching program and online classroom. They are proud to provide a platform which both teachers and kids love. Each lesson is interactive: designed to keep kids interested and involved. Each lesson is already pre-planned: designed so no lesson prep is required, making it easy for teachers to fit lessons into their schedule seamlessly. Students are based in every corner of China and via the wonder of the internet - they pop into students’ homes evenings and weekends to say hi, play games, and tutor kids in learning English.
