children’s after school attention. With over 1 million subscribers in
South Korea in a short period, Santa for TOEIC, an AI-enabled mobile and web-based learning platform, quickly became popular with its highly educated generation Z.

South Korea is one of the most educated countries in Asia.

When Santa for TOEIC released its initial application, users quickly realized how it helps them stay on track with their learning. With just 20 hours, users can increase by 165 points out of 990 points within the first 20 hours of studying.
