Ringle selects its tutors through a strict screening process,vetting them based on their ability to teach advanced English for academic or business settings. Among other things,tutor candidates are required to submit proof of enrollment or graduation,verify their school email address and conduct a mock lesson.

Ringle provides over 900 proprietary lesson materials on current events or business-related topics. During the lessons,tutors use Ringle Docs,a tool developed by Ringle that enables tutors to correct and/or edit the users' English in real-time. The corrections are available both throughout and after the lessons,helping the users with initial comprehension as well as post-class review.

After each class,Ringle provides an AI-based script,created using STT (speech-to-text) technology,along with a recording of the class. The service also provides a list of synonyms of words frequently used by the learner,as well as an analysis of speech pace,vocabulary range and frequently used words and phrases,to assist with diagnosis and maximize learning efficiency.

Ringle's CEO and co-founder Sungpah Lee said,"In 2022,we will further enhance Ringle Docs and our overall learning platform to finally bring results of a joint project with KAIST's HCI [Human Computer Interaction] research team,which will provide users with a fine-tuned diagnosis of complexity,accuracy,and fluency of their English."

Ringle's CEO and co-founder Seunghun Lee said,"Of Ringle's current pool of users,approximately 30 percent live outside of Korea. Most users are employees of prominent companies,such as Google,McKinsey & Company,and Boston Consulting Group,or graduates of renowned universities such as Harvard or the Wharton School.
