Direct English is a fast-growing global network of English language training centers offering tutor-supportEnglish language training to the general consumer, young professionals and corporate executives around the world.

Direct English was developed after five years of research into the language training requirements of adult learners, focusing on both the traditional school and distance learning methodologies. The syllabus and bilingual multimedia course materials have been developed by Louis Alexander, the world authority on English language learning, and employ the latest in teaching technology. Our assurance of quality comes from Mr. Alexander's extensive experience, supported by a team of expert editors and materials developers from many countries.

In 1997 Pagoda Academy developed the Direct English Program for the English Learning environment in Korea. Since April 2000 Direct English managed itself as an independent corporation until Pagoda Academy took over in 2001. Currently Direct English Korea operates 8 centers throughout Korea.

All our centers are centrally located in the Seoul Metropolitan area. Our continued success and growth is a testament to the value of the objectives stated in our mission statement.
