Join Our Mission at Speak
Revolutionizing Language Learning
At Speak, we are dedicated to transforming the language learning experience. Our innovative approach opens up new cultural, professional, and social opportunities for learners worldwide. With two billion individuals globally endeavoring to learn a language, we recognize the need for accessible, high-quality one-on-one tutoring. Our AI-powered platform delivers a conversation-first learning experience, enabling users to practice speaking, receive instant feedback, and navigate through thoughtfully crafted lessons, thus paving the way from novice to confident speaker.
Since our inception in South Korea in 2019, Speak has rapidly evolved into the leading language learning application, catering to learners in over 15 languages and various markets. Backed by more than $150 million in investments from industry leaders such as OpenAI, Accel, and Khosla Ventures, our distributed team operates across San Francisco, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, and Ljubljana.
What We Are Looking For:
We are currently seeking talented bilingual actors to feature in our engaging app-based video lessons as language instructors. As part of this role, you will present pre-written scripts from a seated position in front of a camera, elucidating key language concepts and phrases. While the lessons are not live, they incorporate interactive elements, including user questions and varied responses based on performance. Chinese teachers will specifically act out bilingual scripts designed to teach English to Mandarin speakers.
Key Requirements:
- Must be fluent in both Mandarin and English.
- Portray a professional character outside the education sector, embodying a helpful and inviting demeanor rather than a traditional teacher persona.
- Demonstrate native-like proficiency and accent in both languages; candidates may be native Mandarin speakers, heritage speakers, or those proficient in Mandarin as a second language.
