Our story

The adventure that took us a long time, but, hey, here we are! It all started in:

2014, Summer

buzzlingo.com starts in 2014 when a freshly graduated university student Alex moves to Taiwan and starts teaching in local schools.

2016, Autumn

However, after some time Alex realized the limitations of the education on the island and it inspired him to quit teaching in schools and move on. Despite it being a competitive market, Alex found a way to stand out. That’s where he pulled together various scientific methods and created his own way of teaching. Thus, what was a theory now became a practical experiment.

2018, Autumn

The methodology was in full swing. 95% of students appreciated the method and found it extremely useful. Alex decided to move onto a bigger corporate level with his newly established product. However, he found out that there was no credible tool to help busy people to study well. That's where he saw the opportunity to implement the method.

2021, Summer

Alex rekindles his relationships with his former colleagues and friends who help him on this journey to shape up the perfect solution. Together, Alex and his friends and teammates manage to streamline course and material production.

2021, Winter

Through their continuous and hard work buzzlingo.com team meets probably the most important people after their family - Pepi Liao, Charles Kuai and Volker Heistermann. These three recognized the potential in Alex's idea and the team, and provided them with the most invaluable help - experience in Taiwanese business.
Also, the name was finally chosen and registered.

2022, Autumn
