About EF - Education First
Founded by Bertil Hult in 1965, EF aims to promote learning by maximizing language exposure. A native Swede, Hult decided to explore professional opportunities in London. After a short while immersed in an English environment, he found himself speaking English fluently.
Realizing the power of ‘learning by doing,’ he felt inspired to revolutionize the way language is taught and founded Education First with the single driving mission of “opening the world through education.” Keeping with its trend-setting tradition, EF has launched the world's first multimedia language learning program together with Apple Computer making EF's virtual learning environment the most advanced cloud-based language learning experience worldwide.
Today, EF is a pioneer in language learning, operating 500 schools and offices in more than 50 countries with a network of over 40,000 employees, teachers and leaders.
