Whether you are an established ESL school or a teacher who is just starting out online, we know that branding is important.
Our new Pro feature transforms Off2Class into a Whitelabel ESL Platform by replacing our logo with yours on:
By embedding your own unique login URLs into your website, emails and social media feeds, students will be on your own branded ESL platform from the moment they land at Off2Class. We will automatically use your unique login URLs on all auto notifications going out to your students.
Upgrading your account to Pro can be handled on your Profile page. We’ve assembled some shots to show you what your whitelabel ESL platform will look like:
June 2017 Update! Teachers with Pro accounts can now print and send Student Achievement Certificates based on Placement Test Results. A fantastic tool to keep your students motivated and reward achievement:
Your logo will replace the Off2Class logo and will be front and center on both your account and for all your student accounts (when your students log in to Off2Class to join lessons, complete homework assignments and placement tests, and to review lesson summaries).
One of the nicest features of adding students to Off2Class is that we take the pain out of homework and placements. With your whitelabel ESL platform, your logo replaces ours on both homework assignments and placement tests!
My personal favourite! After upgrading to Pro, navigate to your Profile page. There you’ll find your own custom login URLs that lead to your own branded login pages:
You can embed your URLs on your own website, blog and social media feeds to direct students to your branded login pages. That way, from the moment your students land on Off2Class to join lessons, complete homework or placement tests and review lesson summaries and progress – they’ll be on your own branded ESL platform. We will automatically use your unique login URLs on all auto notifications going out to your students.
Once you upgrade to Pro you’ll also receive instructions to book your one-2-one coaching session with the Off2Class team. We’ll meet using videoconferencing and we can structure the session to meet your needs.

Any pricing info? And do you have any pre-packaged promotional material available for a white labeler?
Hello and nice to hear from you!
Yes the pricing info is on the Pro page linked in the article: https://www.off2class.com/pro ($150, one-time, setup fee).
Yes, on promotional material we’ve just released a promo kit: https://www.off2class.com/introducing-off2class-promo-kit/ with lots of text snippets, images and a video. The promo kit is a work in progress and we are happy to add to it based on what our teachers and schools require for their promotional needs.
Feel free to get in touch with any questions: https://www.off2class.com/contact
Kris this is fantastic! I would love to participate at some point. I would like to take you up on your offer of a site tour.
Cheers Theresa,
Let me know if you’ve got any questions about coming on to Off2Class as a PRO subscriber, you know where to reach me!
Kris
Very cool!
Sim looking forward to 2orking with Off2class does the $150 include all lesson plans too for pro? Thanks, Farhana
Hi Farhana, the $150 is in addition to any subscription. All of our subscriptions include access to all of our content and homework library.
So this site is a one-teacher website? What if I have teachers with students of their own?
Hi Manny,
Nice to hear from you! We work with individual teachers as well as entire schools. For schools and teams, we set up an Enterprise Admin panel where you can control all of your teacher and student accounts, set up class structures, move students between teachers and set up a ‘student pool’ so that multiple teachers can work with the same students.
Get in touch here if you’d like to learn more: https://www.off2class.com/contact/

VERY COOL. I LOVE this function. If the website name also can change, that will be PERFECT.
Fantastic Yan. Get in touch with me if you’d like to learn more: https://www.off2class.com/contact/
Hi! Is it possible to also change the avatar when you go pro?
Hi Bee! Nice to hear from you. Which avatar are you referring to? We don’t currently have an avatar/profile for the teacher. On the student side, you can replace the avatars with your own images or profile photos. Check out this short demo:

Hi Kris! Thanks so much for the fast reply. I was referring to the avatar of male cartoon image holding the magnifying glass (or the pointer on some pages). Is that something that I can change when I go pro as a part of my personal branding?
Hi Bee, no that’s just on the teacher side. It’s part of the design of the search bar, not an avatar per se. There’s no need for your students to come into contact with that design feature.
Your logo will be placed on the main teacher/student interface, homework assignments, placement tests and your own login page (that you can link to your site) – effectively every place the student interacts with Off2Class!
Yes, I agree with Bee (although she didn’t exactly say it this way) – I’ve always found the cartoons throughout the material to be a little childish…especially if you are trying to teach adults and business professionals. However, love the branding feature…and at a reasonable price!
Hi LeAnn thanks for the feedback. We are in a constant balance between using engaging and bright images and ‘serious’ images. We’ve got a lot of very serious lessons that will be perfect for your business professionals. I personally designed the template for our Business English series and spent a previous life as a management consultant for 10 years. Your clients will be used to our ‘business deck’ style.
Thanks, Kris! Sounds great! Also cool that we have a lot in common.
Hello there, is it possible to use your own domain with this (excelenteingles.com, englishzone.mx)?
Hello. Great question, we’re adding this support very soon (in the coming weeks) we’ll update you once it’s live!
Hello again,
Do you have any advance towards being able to use my own domain?
And another question:
Let’s suppose I use the site for different sets of classes under my brand and I have students at different levels in different companies using it, what happens if I go past the 15 student limit for the heavy plan?
You’ve a great thing going!
Thank you
Hi There, nice to hear from you! Our full ‘whitelabel’ option will be coming out next month (June) so stay tuned. In the meantime, you can upgrade to the Pro package outlined here as we’ll count your Pro credit towards the future upgrade. If you need more than 15 students under one plan we’ll customize a high use capacity for you. You can get in touch with us further here: https://www.off2class.com/contact/ and we’d be happy to get you set up!
