Bertil Hult founded EF in 1965 with the belief that there was a better way to learn. As a student with dyslexia, he struggled to learn English in a traditional classroom. He knew that with the right tools, he could succeed -- and perhaps help other students do the same.
Today, EF has grown into a global education organization, helping students around the world. We’ve always been focused on the future of learning, since collaborating with Apple in 1995 to building Efekta, one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential technologies of 2026. But over 60 years, our philosophy has stayed the same, grounded in the simple idea that every student deserves an education shaped around how they learn best.
