Which language exams do you prepare students for?

We provide speaking-task preparation for supported Leaving Certificate, GCSE, A Level and IB Language B language routes. Available languages and levels vary by exam family, and each launchable route is checked against its current format.

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 Certificate routes use Ordinary and Higher Level, GCSE uses Foundation and Higher Tier, IB Language B uses SL and HL, and supported UK qualifications use AS Level or full A Level where that language currently offers them.

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?

Try a realistic practice and get actionable feedback. No card required. One purchase gives you a 12-month preparation window across every supported speaking and exam-practice route, using one shared live-practice allowance. €59.00 total, inclusive of any applicable VAT. No subscription.

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.
