About Shanbay
Shanbay is a Chinese online English learning platform operated by Nanjing Beiwan Information Technology and based in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Its vocabulary app, launched in 2011, became one of China's most widely used English study tools thanks to a review method built around the forgetting curve, word roots and example sentences drawn from real exams.
The Shanbay ecosystem includes companion apps for reading, listening and speaking that work in coordination, plus word books for every stage: secondary school, the CET-4 and CET-6 college exams, postgraduate entrance tests, IELTS, TOEFL, GRE and GMAT. In recent years it has added artificial intelligence features that generate reading passages and exercises matched to the vocabulary each user is studying that day.
The company has expanded into adult training, with general English courses, postgraduate exam preparation and digital skills training such as Python programming and data analysis. Its model is data-guided self-study rather than live classes or academic tutoring, summarised in its motto that everyone can become better through learning.
