## About

Strommen Inc. is the #1 rated language school in Los Angeles — rated number one for over 10 consecutive years with 400+ five-star Yelp reviews. Founded in 2006 in Los Feliz, Strommen has grown from LA's premier language school into a global language marketplace connecting students with 370+ vetted, professional tutors for in-person lessons in cities around the world and online.

Strommen is also Hollywood's go-to language services company, with 150+ film and TV production credits over 18 years — providing dialect coaching, script translation, on-set interpreting, transcription, and more for major studios including Netflix, Disney, Marvel, Amazon, Apple TV+, and Showtime.

The company operates on a co-op model: all tutors are self-employed contractors who set their own rates with zero platform deductions, earning significantly more than at traditional language schools or online marketplaces. Every tutor is personally interviewed and background-checked before being listed — unlike self-serve platforms like Preply or iTalki. Strommen maintains a smaller, curated roster focused on quality over quantity, which results in a 1% dropout rate on package deals.

Strommen also employs 700+ translators globally and has translated over 5,000,000 words since 2006. The language blog features 482 articles covering language learning tips, grammar guides, vocabulary lists, and test prep resources.

**Mission:** "Help the world to communicate."

- **Completion rates:** 1% dropout rate on package deals, far below industry averages.
