Success Stories:

The idea for Preply was born in 2011, when founder Kyrylo Bigai faced a simple but frustrating problem: he couldn't find a Chinese language tutor - just as he had once struggled to find an English teacher. The first launch attempt failed, but the team didn't stop. In 2012, Preply got its second chance - and made the most of it.From a small Kyiv-based startup, the company grew into a global EdTech leader valued at over one billion dollars. Today, Preply helps people around the world speak languages with confidence - proving that Ukrainian tech companies can change education on a global scale.
