About the lessons

Use the free lessons when you want a clear explanation first and teacher support second.

Are the lessons really free?

Yes. The lessons are free to read on the site. Paid support is only for students who want direct help such as tutoring or the AI writing lab.

Where should I start if I feel lost?

Start with the one skill that is lowering your score most. If writing is weak, start with writing. If grammar errors keep appearing, start with one grammar point. The best first step is usually one focused lesson, not five random ones.

How many lessons are there?

There are hundreds of lessons across grammar, vocabulary, writing, and speaking. The goal is not to read everything. The goal is to find the lesson that fixes the problem you have right now.

How long is each lesson?

Most lessons take about 5 to 15 minutes to read, depending on the topic. The stronger approach is to read one lesson carefully, do the interactive task, and only then move to the next page.

Are lessons for IELTS or CELPIP?

Both. Many lessons help both exams because grammar, vocabulary, and sentence control overlap. Some pages are task-specific when the format changes, such as IELTS Writing Task 2 or CELPIP Writing Task 1.

What level do the lessons cover?

The site covers beginner to advanced levels, even when the grammar point is B2 or C1, the explanation should still be readable for a lower-intermediate learner.

Can I download the lessons?

Not yet. Right now the lessons are designed for online study on phone or desktop. If downloadable versions are added later, they will be announced on the site and through the newsletter.

About tutoring

Use tutoring when you need direct feedback, speaking practice, or a study plan for a real deadline.

How much does tutoring cost?

CA$30 for a 60-minute one-to-one lesson. The lesson is live and focused on the exam skill or score problem you want to fix.

What happens after I contact you?
  1. You send your exam, level, and target.
  2. We reply with the most suitable next step.
  3. If tutoring is the right fit, we offer times and booking details.
What can we work on in tutoring?
  • Writing: structure, task response, sentence control, and rewriting
  • Speaking: mock tests, fluency, pronunciation, and answer building
  • Grammar: targeted explanation of repeated mistakes
  • Strategy: timing, question handling, and study planning
Can you guarantee a score?

No. No honest teacher can guarantee a score. Test results still depend on your current level, the time you have, your practice habits, and how you perform on the day. What we can do is identify the weak skill and work on it directly.

How many sessions do students usually need?

That depends on the gap between your current score and target score. Some students need a few focused sessions for writing or speaking. Others need a longer plan. The first conversation usually makes that much clearer.

Do you offer group lessons?

Sometimes. If a small group has a similar level and a similar target, contact us and ask. One-to-one teaching is still the main format because it gives better feedback.

General questions
