Know Your Employer: Langrich-On Inc ESL School

Langrich-On, Inc. is an English language learning center based in Cebu, which primarily caters to clients in Japan.

The company has plans to hire at least 2,000 more Filipino teachers this year to address the online demand for Japanese students who want to learn to speak English as a second language.

There is a booming demand specifically for online Filipino teachers among students in Japan.
Nine out of  ten Japanese would prefer having a Filipino teacher than native English speakers, i.e Americans.

Most Japanese students prefer to learn from a Filipino teacher because the students find these professionals competent, friendly and comfortable to work with.

"We’ve been in operations here since 2009. We started two years ago at the sixth floor of the Keppel Building but we have to move to the eighth floor to accommodate more cubicles for our operations,”

--Haru Urabe and Yohei Maruyama, chief executive officers of Langrich-On Inc.

At present, 200 full-time and part-time teachers are employed by Langrich-On Inc., which catered to at least 10,000 Japanese students online and about 25 on-site students last year

They come for their online classes from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. or from 8 p.m. to midnight, which is the only time students in Japan can take online classes.

Affordable online classes in Japan are fast becoming the trend because most clients or students wouldn’t have the time or the resources to come to the Philippines to study English.

The firm is confident that the available talent pool in Cebu could fill their requirement of 2,000 teachers.
