Helping MENA Reigon People To Get Better In English With Englease, Omar Chihane
Omar Chihane is the founder of Englease, a MENA-based online English language school, which offers live, limitless, and accredited English sessions around the clock. The organisation offers students an online environment in which they can learn English in a way that is convenient for them. These classes are held in real time, allowing for more interaction, and they are taught by accredited specialists.
Chaine has an MBA from London Business School and a successful corporate career in learning and development and sales management with multinational companies such as Siemens, Nokia, and Microsoft, where he led both regional and global business units, achieving sales targets in excess of US$100 million, and leading functions responsible for upskilling over 15,000 people.
Englease was created in 2019 as a result of Omar Chihane’s need to serve the MENA area. Omar saw a rising need to provide help to his social media followers, but he wanted to make sure that any solution he put out there met three key criteria: it had to work, it had to be immersive, and it had to be affordable.
The UAE-based firm presently offers three learning packages that are aimed at everyone from complete beginners to expert learners wishing to improve their English knowledge and skills. Englease.com now focuses on the MENA area, which is home to over 380 million people and has some of the lowest English proficiency rates in the world.
Omar has been published in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, and GulfNews, among other publications, and is a seasoned social media player in the MENA region, with a total following of 1.7 million people.
