How a call goes

  1. Pick what to practise

    A team update, a job interview, small talk, or anything you like. Your tutor sets the scene in one line.

  2. Talk it through out loud

    No buttons to hold. Speak when you are ready and interrupt whenever you like, as on a real call.

  3. Get your report

    The best thing you said, the call's goals, how much you spoke, up to two fixes with the reason, and what to practise next.

Build up to speaking in front of people

Four steps, each a little harder. The first three are timed, so you also practise finishing on time.

  1. Tell a short story

    Tell a one-minute story with a beginning, a middle and an end.

  2. Give your opinion

    Make a point, give a reason and an example, then say the point again.

  3. Give a short talk

    Give a three-minute talk with a clear opening, three points and a close, then take a question.

  4. Presentation questions

    Answer audience questions about your work calmly and briefly.

How your tutor teaches

Every tutor follows the same rules, taken from research on how people learn to speak a new language.

You do most of the talking
Replies are two short sentences and a question back. Speaking practice only works if you speak.
One fix at a time, after you finish
Your tutor never cuts in mid-thought, and corrects only what blocks meaning or keeps coming back. Too many corrections at once are hard to take in.
A nudge first, then the answer
You get the chance to fix it yourself ("Yesterday I...?"). If you are stuck, your tutor says it once and you say it again. Studies of classroom feedback found prompts like this lead learners to correct themselves more often than simply hearing the right form (Lyster and Ranta, 1997), and a meta-analysis of 33 studies found corrective feedback has a lasting effect (Li, 2010).
Real tasks, not drills
Each call has a goal you can reach in a few minutes, like giving an update or closing a client call.
No one says "wrong"
Worry about speaking holds many learners back (Horwitz, Horwitz and Cope, 1986). Your tutor notices what you did well and lets you start a sentence again.

Keep talking

Talk time counts only while someone is speaking, you or your tutor. Pauses are free.

Questions

Is my tutor a real person?

No. All eight tutors are AI. Their faces are drawn live on your device. Where your device can, it also hears you itself so replies come faster; otherwise our server does.

Does it help with business English?

Yes. Pick a team update, a job interview, presentation questions, a client call or a negotiation. For these, your report also covers clarity, tone and keeping it short, not only grammar.

Do you keep recordings of my voice?

No. Your speech is turned into text for your tutor and your report, then dropped. We keep how long you talked, to count your time. If you are signed in, we also keep each call's word counts and up to two corrections, so your next calls can bring them back. They are deleted with your account.

What do I need?

A microphone and a recent Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, on a phone or a computer.

Can I cancel?

The yearly plan renews until you cancel, which you can do yourself from your account at any time. The 30-day pass is one payment and never renews.
