Open English alternative for English teachers
Open English is a course for students. Noladi is the platform for independent teachers to run live classes under their own brand and deliver an AI-powered lesson review.
The Open English alternative for English teachers is not another ready-made course: it is a platform where you teach your own class, under your own brand. Open English sells a closed course to the end student. Noladi gives independent teachers the infrastructure to run live classes and hand the student a complete lesson review, with transcription and AI suggestions.
Open English and Noladi solve different problems
Open English is a subscription product built for the student: a content track, group classes, and standardized material under their brand. The teacher who works there is part of the catalog, not the owner of the relationship.
Noladi is the opposite. The teacher is the one who subscribes, and the student arrives through the teacher's door. You do not become a line in some course company's schedule: you are the platform.
If you teach private English lessons, or you want to move away from a catalog model to serve your own students, this is the comparison that matters.
The classroom is yours, with your name on it
In Noladi, the student joins the class through an address in the format yourname.noladi.app, with your visual identity. It is not a course company's brand at the top of the screen: it is yours.
The live class runs in the browser, with nothing to install. It has a collaborative whiteboard, where you write and the student follows along, plus screen sharing and chat. It is the room you would use on Google Meet and Zoom, but built for language teaching.
That changes the perception of value. A student paying for private lessons notices the difference between a generic call and an environment made for their class.
The lesson review a ready-made course does not deliver
This is the biggest practical difference. A few minutes after the class ends, the student finds in their own dashboard:
- The full class to rewatch, with synced captions.
- The transcription split by who spoke.
- An automatic AI-generated review, with grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary corrections.
- The new vocabulary covered in the class, categorized.
- Speaking stats: time speaking, unique words, pace.
In the closed-course model, the student moves through standardized tracks. In Noladi, they leave each of your classes with personalized material to study with between sessions. A student who sees their own progress documented tends to renew.

Manage your students in one place
Outside of class, you organize everything in a single system: student records, class schedule, packages and monthly fees, and tracking of who is paid up and who is behind.
An honest heads-up: Noladi tracks these finances, but it does not charge the student's card. You are the one who collects the payment, by Pix, card, or bank slip; the system records who paid and how many classes each student still has.
This management side is free forever. You only subscribe when you want to turn on the live classroom and the AI review.
Frequently asked questions
Does Noladi replace Open English?
Not exactly. Open English is a course for the end student. Noladi is the platform for you, the teacher, to run your own classes under your own brand. If the goal is to stop being a course company's catalog and serve your own students, Noladi is the foundation for that operation.
Do I need to install anything to teach the class?
No. The live class runs in the browser, with a collaborative whiteboard, screen sharing, and chat. It works like Google Meet and Zoom, but it is a room built for language teaching, with the lesson review generated afterward.
Is Noladi only for English?
No. Besides English, Noladi supports Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Russian, and Italian. The AI lesson review and the stats work for these languages.
It is worth creating an account and running a test class with one of your students. Management is free forever, and the first hour of live class is on us, with no card required. Discover Noladi at https://noladi.app/teacher.
