Sanoma acquires Fluentbe, a Polish AI-powered tutoring platform for language learning
Sanoma has acquired Fluentbe, a Polish online tutoring platform for language learning, from its founders and other shareholders. Fluentbe offers AI-powered, personalised language learning for both individuals and enterprises, combining its own teaching methodology, proprietary content and technology with expert educators.
Founded in 2015, the company serves more than 40,000 students and works with over 600 active highly qualified tutors, and its platform was the first in Poland to introduce an AI language instructor, offering full learning programs and a grading system tailored to each individual learner.
The acquisition is in line with Sanoma’s strategy to grow its K12 learning business in its current operating countries for example by broadening its product offering and further developing educational AI, purpose-built for learning and teaching. Fluentbe’s proven AI-powered tutoring model provides Sanoma Learning an entry into the large and fast-growing Polish tutoring market. Its offering can be combined with Sanoma Learning’s local K12 expertise, strong brand and the base of more than 2 million digital users of Nowa Era and VULCAN platforms in Poland.
In 2025, net sales of Fluentbe amounted to approx. EUR 6 million. Fluentbe’s team, together with its founders and management, will join Sanoma Learning as part of the acquisition.
