Manifesto

Our beliefs and values for people joining our mission
1. Language is for friendships.
ConvoAcademy was originally founded in Italy, to help locals and ex-pats integrate, through English language. We achieved this with fun, social events, supporting people to make new friends, overcoming linguistic and cultural challenges.
2. We are transparent.
For students, we always give the best advice for them without self interest.
Open conversations with teachers and staff ensure relationships built on trust and help us all grow, personally and professionally.
3. Think outside the box.
This is the reason our methodology is based primarily on social interaction and interactive communication.
This is the reason why we have never had a physical premises with classrooms and a staffroom.
This is why we partner with exciting startups who share our mindset and ambition.

4. Education should be practical, relevant and fun.
We integrate technology simply and effectively into our work and teaching. From cloud based software to leveraging gamification to enhance the teaching experience, every class is tailored to the students' objective whether it be professional or personal. A range of multimedia material and student-centred communication elevates the learning environment quality.
5. Teaching is more than just a job.
Teachers have a huge responsibility to connect, empathise, support, develop and produce results in a short period of time. Students give us their trust which is why we choose our team members extremely carefully. Our team is passionate about language, people and culture which is why we promote these values in our virtual staff room and our monthly meetups.
Equal opportunity, cultural diversity, socialising, training and development and peer support are all part of our DNA.
6. Meritocracy and openness
We don't possess a hierarchical structure like most companies. We see and treat all our team members as equals and encourage everyone to share their ideas, beliefs and feedback to constantly improve our environment and service. We highly encourage team members to use their initiative, suggest new, exciting ideas and grow together.
7. Work should be your passion.
