A chance meeting on a local Melbourne train got Jarrad Merlo started on a journey into the world of online teaching.
“The business idea was planted in 2011 after I returned from teaching English abroad,” says Merlo.
“I serendipitously bumped into a guy on the Frankston line one morning and we got talking about languages and linguistics, and then he introduced me to his colleague and friend, who just happened to be a systems genius. We spent the next five years tinkering ‘in the garage’ as it were, before we wheeled E2Language out into the open.”
Merlo co-founded E2Language, which stands for ‘English as a Second Language’, in 2016. Based in South Yarra, E2Language has a global reach and made close to $1.5 million in sales revenue in the first year of operation, says Merlo.It signed up more than 200,000 test candidates in the first year, and now signs on more than 1000 per day. It has 170,000 YouTube subscribers and its YouTube channels have clocked more than 11 million views. Read more
