About:
AmazingTalker is committed to building a comprehensive online learning platform that allows anyone to learn any language and knowledge online. Since its establishment in December 2016, we have grown rapidly, with more than 100,000 active users in more than 60 countries and regions, and users have more than 250,000 lessons on the platform. In Taiwan, we are one of the fastest-growing start-ups, but we are currently only achieving 1% of our goals! We hope to make it easy for people all over the world to learn through technology and build a world-class education brand! Every day in AmazingTalker, the universe is invincible and fast, and everyone is constantly seeking and realizing more possibilities for faster growth. We set clear and ambitious goals, driven by the size of the company’s decisions. It is clear that we are not easily lost, and Yuanda is in line with our willingness to challenge. Colleagues are given a high degree of leadership (decision-making power, various resource scheduling), develop independent thinking, problem-solving skills, and can be responsible for freedom.
Company philosophy
At AmazingTalker, we value three values:
Autonomy
We give goals and give full play, but do not provide methods, encourage colleagues to think frequently and explore various solutions. Rather than work hard, we advocate doing things smart. We understand that freedom also requires clear directions to not deviate from the course, so we import OKR to set clear goals, use project management tools to record the progress of each team’s work, everyone knows what each other is doing, so that resources are more efficiently allocated, Closer collaboration between departments.
Encourage trial and error
We are not afraid of failure. We make quick decisions and actions after properly assessing risks. Through continuous trial, verification, and failure, we accelerate to find a better solution. We are not to blame and discuss and seek ways to optimize the nature of the problem.
Keep growing
The essence of work is to solve various problems. When faced with problems, you can solve the problems from the cycle of observation> assumptions> verification> results. Keep this inertia, even if you face different challenges, you can still grow quickly in the process. At AmazingTalker, the challenge will become bigger and bigger, and not limited to a single field, continuous learning and eagerness to grow are in line with our spirit.
Founding a story
Abner, founder of AmazingTalker, is from Taipei, Taiwan.
Because he was frustrated with learning English since he was a child, he was unable to use the language fluently.
After reaching adulthood, I came into contact with the two brands TutorABC and EnglishTown. I further learned that online education can make more of myself improve in the past, and began to study whether learners can be more sticky and enhance their interest in learning during the process effect.
On the way, I found that a good mentor is a vital role in learning the language, so I founded AmazingTalker service. I hope to create a teaching position for teachers who want to invest continuously, and find the interest and essence of teaching by teaching students according to their aptitude. I also hope to create the most suitable environment and progress for each student to learn, and iterate the services of AmazingTalker.
Since starting our business in August 2016, we have served more than 100,000 students. We will serve more countries and regions in the future so that everyone can escape from competitions and systems. Instead, we can make our foreign language skills more excellent with an interest and love.
