History
It was 1960 and Swedish student Bertil Hult had spent years struggling with dyslexia. Unsure of his future, he moved to London for work. After only a few short months, he was fluent in English--a feat he never thought possible. That discovery inspired Bertil to launch EF Education First in 1965--a company built on experiential learning, cultural immersion and authentic connections. This experience is at the core of our educational philosophy.
