YiYiEnglish

YiYiEnglish, founded in 2017, provides live one-on-one online English lessons to students in China, matching them with teachers from around the world. The platform has connected more than 100,000 students with roughly 7,000 teachers. Lessons are delivered online via one-on-one video, with lesson materials provided by the company and dedicated teacher-student pairings maintained over time.

The company operates in the online education and EdTech sector, and maintains a presence in New York and Beijing, alongside a global teacher network. Its stated mission is to bridge cultures and make language learning accessible.

For teaching staff, YiYiEnglish describes its model as built around stable, long-term engagements rather than short-term gig work: dedicated pairings are intended to support both learning outcomes and teacher income stability. Teachers receive one-on-one support from designated staff members, personalised feedback aimed at professional development, and prepared lesson materials so that they can focus on instruction.
