Aprender Inglês
English learning platform built for Mozambicans — accessible, structured, and priced at a single payment of 349MT while traditional schools charge thousands per month.
The Problem
Learning English in Mozambique is expensive. Traditional schools charge 2,000–5,000MT in enrollment fees plus 800–1,500MT per month. Free alternatives like YouTube lack structure, have no support, and offer no certificate.
The result is that thousands of Mozambicans who need English for their careers, studies, or businesses simply can't afford or sustain the traditional route.
The Solution
One-Time Payment — 349MT
No enrollment fee, no monthly subscription, no hidden costs. Pay once and get lifetime access. Positioned against school fees that can exceed 20,000MT per year.
Structured Courses
Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced tracks with video lessons, support material, and practical exercises — organized by qualified instructors.
M-Pesa & E-Mola Integration
Payment via the channels Mozambicans already use. No international card required, no friction at checkout.
Recognized Certificate
Digital certificate upon course completion — ready to add to a CV or LinkedIn profile.
Optional Conversation Practice
Paid add-on for live sessions with an instructor via WhatsApp or Google Meet. Monthly (599MT), quarterly (1,599MT), or semester (2,999MT) plans. Fully optional.
Business Model
Course Revenue
349MT per student, lifetime access. Low barrier to entry drives volume. No churn, no renewals to manage.
Conversation Practice
Recurring subscription revenue from students who want live practice on top of the course. Three pricing tiers with quarterly and semester discounts.
Instructor Marketplace
Platform designed to onboard more instructors and courses, expanding beyond English over time.
Mozambican Market Focus
Built specifically for local payment methods, local pricing, and local context — not adapted from a foreign product.
