ABOUT US
Portal Languages began as a private language tutoring service by our founders from their apartment in Costa Mesa, California. The spark that launched the company came from a continuous demand for their language tutoring service. In January 2009, the founders decided to establish Portal Languages – Costa Mesa in a 400 sq./ft. office space.
A website and a functional space was then created for the school. We decided to adopt the language teaching methodology series “The Natural Approach, Language Acquisition” developed by Stephen D. Krashen and Tracy D Terrell.
What followed were several years of quick expansion as internet marketing campaigns, student referrals and a sound business principle began to pay off.
Remarkably, in less than 5 years, Portal Languages went from a fledgling start-up to the premier language school in Orange County, California.
Wishing to expand this success beyond our local market due to constant requests by students to open a school in their local market, Portal Languages chose franchising as the next step.
