Who We Are

Astonishingly, only 4% of adult English learners in the U.S. have access to ESL instruction. EnGen is here to change this.

EnGen is a skills-focused, virtual English-language learning platform for organizations and employers working with limited English proficient employees. EnGen is the brainchild of Dr. Katie Nielson, our Chief Education Officer and Founder, who holds a PhD in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and over twenty years of experience in applied language research.

We’re here to make it easier for adult learners to access high-quality English instruction tied to their real-world needs.
