Impact

Problem

Traditional education systems in countries like Italy, Spain, and France often fail to equip students with effective English language skills. According to Pearson, this is due to a lack of practical use and outdated teaching methods. Italy, Spain and France rank among the lowest in Europe in the EF English Proficiency Index (32nd, 26th, and 33rd out of 35 countries respectively).

In particular, in Italy, INVALSI assessments show that many students struggle to achieve even intermediate (B1/B2) levels of English proficiency.

As a result, limited English skills hinder access to higher education, reduce international mobility, and weaken employability in an increasingly globalized job market.

Impact Mission

MyES provides effective and engaging English language training, combining high-quality study materials with continuous assessment of progress. By doing so, it empowers learners and expands their opportunities in three key areas: better employment prospects, enhanced academic opportunities, and enriching personal experiences, serving as a powerful means to unlock students’ full potential, both professionally and personally.
