The Korean private school network The Education Company has partnered with Israeli education technology firm MagniLearn to adopt MagniLearn's artificial intelligence (AI) and neuroscience-based language learning platform for schools throughout Korea, the companies announced Thursday.

MagniLearn was founded by world-renowned leaders in the fields of AI, NeuroScience, and Cognition from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Its solution offers a customized, personalized online English-teaching platform.
In Korea, a parent spends an average of $4,500 per year on private education per child. Private education expenditures on English language instruction are increasing 10% each year. But despite this investment, few students will gain even a moderate level of fluency, and only a tiny fraction will master English.
MagniLearn says it has changed that.
"In just five weeks, students using MagniLearn's platform have covered more than 50% of the full year's curriculum," MagniLearn CEO Lana Tockus said. "They are learning about three times faster with 97% of students, demonstrating dramatic increases in proficiency."
"MagniLearn knows exactly what to teach, at exactly the right pace-including vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation," one parent said.
"There are lots of language learning solutions out there, but no one has truly applied an AI-neuroscience approach to online learning," Tockus said.
"Our unique technology makes it easy to adapt to any school's textbook. More than that, we can teach other subjects like science, economy, or medicine in English at the same time that the relevant English skills are taught," the CEO added.
