Founded in January 2010, ESL Explorer is the trusted community marketplace for language education travel.

They bring together students interested in learning English and English language schools in a transparent online environment. They bring social elements (like Facebook), ratings and reviews (like TripAdvisor), recommendations and e-commerce functionality (like Amazon) together to provide a unique community marketplace.

Nick Miller, Founder of ESL Exploer, believes that when students choose schools based on transparent reviews, schools will focus on quality of education; and with great language education, people communicate and understand each other more thoroughly.
