Mary May·CEO & FounderFounded and built in CanadaInsight-led designMary founded Pendorai and shaped the method behind it. She leads the product, the curriculum and the company's long-term direction, keeping the learning experience and the technology in the same conversation.
Language learning is most effective when it follows a clear, connected system, not a collection of disconnected exercises. Pendorai is built for learners who want that structure: people ready to show up consistently, follow a disciplined path and turn steady practice into lasting progress.
“Learning English is enjoyable. It is also difficult. An app that only respects the first half will never get anyone to fluency.”
Product principlesMary's view of the product is simple: every feature should help a learner move forward, and every part should work with the rest.
01
A curriculum designed with experts.
“Pendorai’s curriculum structure and learning sequence were designed with English experts and content specialists in Canada. AI supports lesson production, practice, feedback, and tutoring.”
02
Learn it once. Use it four ways.
“I did not want grammar sitting in a tab that learners could ignore. Each structure should appear in reading, listening, writing and speaking, so it becomes useful before the lesson is over.”
03
It gets to know how you learn.
“A good tutor remembers where you struggled and what finally clicked. I wanted Pendorai to keep that context across lessons and years, so learners never feel like they are introducing themselves all over again.”
04
Your word library grows with you.
“Vocabulary is personal. The words you need for work may be completely different from the words someone else needs for university. Your library should grow around your life and bring words back at the right time.”
05
Practise the whole exam, not just a sample.
“An exam score can open the door to a visa, a job or a professional licence. That deserves more than a few practice questions. We simulate the full experience and give clear feedback on writing and speaking too.”
06
Everything connects, so learning feels simpler.
“I kept seeing learners use one app for vocabulary, another for grammar and another for speaking. Pendorai brings those pieces into one curriculum, with one plan that can stay with a learner as their goals change.”
A connected curriculum
Designed with expertsEnglish teachers and content specialists shaped what learners study and the order in which they meet it.
The curriculum connects 382 units across fifteen terms, from Basic through Intermediate and Advanced.
AI supports lesson production, practice, feedback, and tutoring without replacing the learning structure.
Grammar anchored
Every step begins with the structure the learner is studying, giving the lesson a clear purpose.
Reading, listening, writing, and speaking use that same structure in meaningful contexts.
Learners recognise the structure, understand it, and produce it instead of meeting it only once.
Learning continuityYour level, term, completed steps, vocabulary, and feedback stay connected as you progress.
Recurring mistakes and weaker skills help determine what should return for focused review.
The tutor begins with context and focuses on what matters next instead of making you start over.
One curriculum. Four skills. Every exam.A tutor that grows with you.
