Our Story
Once upon a time, there was Chris, a business consultant with a burning desire to create something truly remarkable. Chris believed that greatness lies in making a positive impact on everything and everyone. With a passion for coaching, research, and an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Chris was known for their curiosity and relentless pursuit of personal growth.
In 2010, Chris had the privilege of being a student in Léa's class. Standing out as one of the exemplary students who always did things right, Chris recognized the importance of periodically pausing or slowing down work to recharge. This realization became a cornerstone of Chris's approach to life. However, one day, Chris stumbled upon a disheartening truth: it was nearly impossible for adults to continue learning beyond their school years. Online courses, videos, and even extensive reading seemed inadequate. Chris envisioned an off-campus solution, a way for adults to continue their learning journey seamlessly.
As fate would have it, Chris also faced challenges when attempting to learn something new, like playing badminton. The available classes catered exclusively to children, leaving adults without suitable options. Meanwhile, Léa, an experienced and knowledgeable teacher of French, felt a profound sense of responsibility to share their expertise with a wider audience. They both strongly believe in the significance of cultivating the ability to learn. Learning, in essence, is not only a skill but also a collection of mental faculties that can be developed and strengthened.
It was a perfect match.
Finally, the stars aligned when Chris decided to bid farewell to the consulting world, coinciding with Léa's desire for a new venture. United by their shared beliefs in the power of practice and the ineffectiveness of mere lectures, they decided to embark on a transformative journey together. Thus, Lurnnin was born, initially offering language courses but with plans to expand into an array of subjects.
Lurnnin also seeks to collaborate with passionate course designers who excel in their respective fields. If you are a product owner yearning to teach something you truly excel at, Lurnnin welcomes your expertise with open arms.
Join Chris and Léa on their mission to revolutionize learning. Lurnnin is more than just an educational platform—it's a catalyst for personal growth, embracing the philosophy that learning is an ongoing and immersive process. Together, let's unlock the potential within us and create a world where knowledge knows no bounds.
