“We have ambitious plans: in the course of the year to enter the top three in our niche in the Brazilian market. For comparison, the share of the Polish market for the year in the Preply income structure was 5%. The population of this country is roughly comparable with Ukraine, while in Brazil live in 5-6 times more of our potential customers “, – said Kirill.

There are  features of this market. According Statists, in Brazil there are more than 55% of the population have access to the Internet, and the proportion of the population connected to the network continues to grow by about 5% a year.
