Our Mission
Changing Lives Through Language Learning
with Passion and Joy, Using Cutting-Edge Technology and the World's Best Learning Content.
Message from the Founder & CEO
"Language learning isn't easy. Anyone who tells you it is or it should be is just trying to sell you a gimmick.
"Ardor Learning is focused on results. And we know the best way to get results is by understanding what is truly needed to learn a language and learn it well enough to be effective in a global environment.
"Today over 80% of spending on language learning is still led by human teachers. Effective language training needs great teachers, yes, but what if you could deploy amazing technology in the process? How would that change the world of language learning?
"That's what we set out to do with Ardor Learning - to demonstrate that language training can be scalable and still be effective.
"If you're a serious learner who truly wants to change your life through language acquisition, then Ardor Learning is for you."

We have built a company that goes beyond the simple employer-employee relationship. Our team members are selected for kindness and encouraged to support each other in service to our learners.
