“The ‘ELL’ in Ellii is an acronym that stands for ‘English Language Learning,’ while the letters ‘ii’ resemble two people in unison. Together, they represent the mission the company has always had—to connect the world through language.”
Ben Buckwold
CEO
“Over the years, our in-house publishing team has built up a library of English language teaching materials by inviting teachers to tell us exactly what they want and need for class. But today’s teachers are looking for so much more than content. Requests now include digital features and tools, so thanks to teachers, we’ve outgrown our name and are excited to rebrand as Ellii.”
Tara Benwell
