Chatterbox

London based startup leveraging refugees' language skills

Chatterbox was founded by Afghan-British woman Mursal Hedayat and connects the problem of under-utilised refugee talent with the demand for their language skills. You can purchase lessons for yourself or a friend. As so many people make learning or improving a language a New Year's Resolution, here's a great way to make that happen.

It would be interesting to learn more about the tutors journey to the UK (what they had to seek refuge from and how they achieved it).
Mursal Hedayat
@scotty_bowler Sounds like a fabulous idea for a short film.
