Fluentify is an online language-learning platform that enables learners to perfect spoken English by connecting them with fully qualified teachers. The platform leverages machine learning and AI and delivers 30-minute tutoring sessions via a secure, integrated video-conferencing tool accessible 24/7 on web and app. Learners can create custom plans tailored to students, professionals, or businesses seeking company-wide training. The company has raised funding (an initial £280k round plus a subsequent £1.5m round) and intends to use the new funds to develop its product and expand into the French market. Founded in 2013 by Giacomo Moiso, Claudio Bosco and Matteo Avalle, Fluentify is based in London and maintains offices in Milan, Roma and Turin. It serves both conversational and business language needs. Fluentify is a London-based videoconferencing language-learning platform founded last year. Its marketplace connects people who want to improve a language with vetted native speakers who can sign up as 'fluentifier' tutors. The company emphasizes tutors who are working professionals (bankers, web developers, musicians, etc.) to provide real-life, profession-specific vocabulary and runs all conversations on its own platform rather than using third-party videoconferencing. It has received more than 700 tutor applications and accepts roughly the top 10% through a vetting procedure that continues via ongoing user feedback. Tutors set prices from $8 to $30 per 30-minute session (averaging $13) and Fluentify takes a 20% service fee. The startup plans to use new funding for hires and to perfect the service in Southern Europe before scaling more widely. It was co-founded by Giacomo Moiso, Andrea Passadori, Matteo Avalle & Claudio Bosco.
