Open English

Open English is an online English-language school founded in 2006, which began in Caracas, Venezuela, and relocated its headquarters to Miami, Florida, in 2009. It built its reputation as Latin America’s leading online English school, offering live classes taught by native English-speaking teachers and available 24/7, and has expanded into Open English Junior (children), Open English Business, and Open Mundo (other languages).

Lessons are delivered primarily as live, instructor-led group classes that members join on demand, with new sessions throughout the day; private one-on-one classes are offered at extra cost. Teachers are native English speakers, and members get a 12-month access period plus multimedia self-study content. Because classes are group-based with mixed proficiency levels, personalisation within a session is limited.

Pricing is membership-based and not publicly listed; third-party reviews report roughly $1,000 for 12 months of access, with private classes extra. The company reports more than 2 million students enrolled and 2,000+ teachers across 30+ countries, and has raised well over $100 million. It suits Latin American adults and professionals who want flexible, conversation-focused live English practice on a subscription.
