Closing the Global Communication Gap

We are on a mission to close the global communication gap by helping organizations be smarter with their global language strategy by leveraging powerful data captured through an adaptive and automated assessment system.

Emmersion started in Rexburg, Idaho as an online English tutoring company. We partnered with some of the top online English learning companies in the industry (such as VIPKid) to deliver high-quality English instruction. We hired and trained hundreds of online English tutors within our first year. As we began to grow, many of our clients began asking our tutors to provide language proficiency ratings for their learners. Our cofounder, Dr. Jacob Burdis, recognized the difficulty of training tutors to be consistent and reliable in conducting language assessments.

Serendipitously, Dr. Burdis had researched a method to automate speaking assessments during his PhD studies at Brigham Young University. Emmersion saw an opportunity to provide the market with a significantly more scalable and less expensive approach for assessing language speaking ability. After conducting significant voice of customer research, we made the pivot and developed the TrueNorth Speaking Test.

The TrueNorth Speaking Test quickly grew in popularity in academia as a placement and progress test and in corporate HR as a candidate screener. Emmersion began investing more heavily in providing academic and corporate institutions with the data they needed to make better decisions regarding their language strategy. To that end, we acquired the exclusive rights to the WebCAPE reading and grammar test in 2019 and have committed to developing the TrueNorth Test in 11 additional languages.
