A Global EdTech Solution Finally Arrives in Korea
On May 7th, AvoLingo officially marked its entry into the Korean market with a highly successful launch seminar at TIPSTOWN, Yeoksam. Attended by 30 VIP academy directors, the event showcased AvoLingo not merely as a learning tool, but as a crucial turning point for the future of education. The enthusiastic response affirmed that the Korean education system is ready for the AI revolution.
The Core Philosophy: Empowering the Educator
The official launch showcase was more than a feature presentation; it was a philosophical statement. AvoLingo co-founder, Deniz Albayrak, opened the seminar with a powerful message: "AI doesn't replace us; it unlocks the potential within us." His connection to the teaching profession is deeply personal. "I grew up watching my mother, a high school philosophy teacher, preparing lessons late into the night. AvoLingo's core philosophy is to empower the teacher to focus on the essential act of education."
AvoLingo’s Vision: Why We Are Serious About Educational Innovation
AvoLingo is a global EdTech startup headquartered in the US. As a founder who studied Industrial Engineering at KIT in Germany, Deniz gained an intimate understanding of the struggles in the classroom, thanks to his mother, the philosophy teacher, and his father, a biologist.
"What I consistently saw as a child was the image of my parents—struggling, despite their best efforts, to individually assist every student, often preparing lessons late into the night. I was convinced that AI represented an opportunity to fundamentally change this educational reality."
The AI Timing is Now for the Korean English Education System
The challenges in the Korean education system are clear:
Teachers spend too much time on administration (homework, grading, reports).
Students lack "speaking opportunities" outside of the classroom.
Parents lack clear, data-driven insight into their child's learning progress.
AvoLingo solves all these problems with a single, integrated system. We believe that through education, through AI, and through people, the change begins now. The technology is just the tool; the center of the transformation is always the human element.
Children, unafraid of mistakes, engage in conversation with AI. Teachers are freed from repetitive tasks to focus on meaningful education. Parents gain tangible, data-backed evidence of their child’s development.
