About Pearson English

What we’re here to do

English is our global language – it belongs to the world. It’s our belief that only by sharing a common language can cultures come together and learn from one another. In a world where the barriers of time and distance are constantly shrinking, overcoming the language barrier creates endless possibilities.

So our aim is simple, but powerful: we want to help the world understand each other better, by better understanding the needs of each learner.

How we’re going to do it
  • English Language Schools: With one of the largest portfolios of private language schools, including the award-winning Wall Street English, we’ve something to offer every learner.
  • Business English Solutions: Effective and scalable solutions to help every company unlock their talent with products from Pearson English Business Solutions.
  • Courses and apps: Ground-breaking tools to help measure English language progress and preparation centres to help learners pass crucial English tests.
  • English Language Teaching: Equipping language schools, state schools and institutions with everything from text books to entire syllabuses that improve English Language Teaching (ELT) results.
