Designed for teachers and students
Transforming how English is learnt in schools and Universities
I’ve spent nearly 30 years teaching EFL, mostly at UK universities. I’ve designed courses, helped students tackle everything from academic writing to IELTS and more. Along the way, I kept seeing the same two big hurdles:
Difficult to master language points such as phrasal verbs, formal register etc…
Creating and maintaining engagement with learning
Learning a language comes down to building habits, but endless repetition kills motivation. That got me wondering: what if we used actual games—not just tacky gamification—to help students master specific skills?
In 2019, I founded Kinjugo and teamed up with an old university friend who worked in games development. We invented and built games that actually engage students, whilst drilling hard to master language skills.
It all runs on a simple web platform that plugs straight into your existing setup. We built it around real classroom needs, making it easy to organize students, assign work, track progress across key metrics and more.
Having been in the classroom myself, I know the daily headaches. We built this from ground up to make life easier for teachers and learning far more effective and enjoyable for students.
