Which language exams do you prepare students for?

We prepare students for Leaving Certificate (Irish), GCSE (UK), and A-Level (UK) language exams in French, Spanish, and German. Our AI tutors are programmed with each exam's specific format and marking criteria.

How do AI tutors help with oral exam preparation?

Our AI tutors recreate published speaking-test formats, ask topic-specific questions, provide instant pronunciation feedback, and help you practise exam-format conversations. They adapt to your level and focus on areas needing improvement.

What's the difference between exam levels?

Leaving Cert offers Higher and Ordinary levels, GCSE has Foundation and Higher tiers, while A-Level includes AS and A2 components. Each level has different vocabulary expectations and complexity requirements.

Can I practice specific exam topics?

Yes! You can practice all prescribed topics for your exam including personal information, school life, hobbies, current affairs, and exam-specific themes. Our AI covers the full syllabus for each exam board.

How accurate is the exam format simulation?

We follow published exam-board guidance. Our simulations replicate the format, timing, and task types for role-plays, picture descriptions, general conversation, and presentation practice.

When should I start exam preparation?

We recommend starting at least 3-6 months before your exam. Daily 20-minute sessions will significantly improve your confidence and performance. Our progress tracking helps you stay on target.

I'm panicking about my speaking exam tomorrow. Can you help?

Yes! Even last-minute practice helps. Focus on role play structures, key phrases, and building confidence. Our AI tutors are available for practice sessions based on your plan: Free users get 10 minutes total per week, and Premium users get unlimited* practice conversations up to 15 minutes and full mock exams up to 18 minutes.

What if I freeze during the real exam?

Practice with our AI reduces exam anxiety by familiarizing you with the format. We teach recovery techniques and filler phrases to help you keep talking even when nervous.

What is the PET speaking test format?

The PET speaking test has four parts: interview, extended turn with a photo, collaborative task, and follow-up discussion.

How can I improve my PET speaking score quickly?

Practice short daily speaking sessions, expand your answers clearly, and focus on pronunciation plus interaction with your speaking partner.
