Founded in 2022, with a big mission
Last Minute English was founded in 2022 by Francis Carlisle, a former IELTS examiner and entrepreneur from the UK. Francis lived and taught in China and Colombia between 2011 and 2022.
How it all started
It was in China, while working as an IELTS Examiner for the British Council, that he first realised that students would often take their exam up to eight times before getting the score that they needed to apply to a university abroad.
There surely had
to be a better way
So he made his first video course:
IELTS Speaking – Go from 5.5 – 7.5.
One thing led to another, and now Last Minute English has 23 video courses on everything from Advanced English Fluency to Beginner English for Spanish Speakers.
