YNova IELTS Speaking is live
We’re opening the doors to YNova IELTS Speaking: a place to practise, find the English for your own ideas, and try again with a little more confidence.
A note from the YNova founders · · Updated
Today, we’re opening YNova IELTS Speaking. We’re glad to finally share it with you.
We built it around a familiar moment: you have something to say, but the English does not come as easily as the idea. You pause, search for a word, and sometimes settle for a much smaller answer than the one you wanted to give.
We want YNova to give you room to work through that moment. A place to speak, get useful feedback and have another go.
Start with something you want to say
NOVA is our bilingual AI tutor. You can work on an idea, find useful words and build towards saying it in English. When you need an explanation in a familiar language, bilingual support can help you take the next step. When you are ready, you can practise in English.
Your answer should still belong to you. Your hometown, your family, the place you love visiting: those are the things we want to help you talk about.
Practise, listen back, try again
IELTS Speaking preparation needs actual speaking. YNova brings guided practice together with exam-style mock tests, transcripts and feedback across the four IELTS Speaking criteria. Scores are AI practice estimates, so you can use them alongside the feedback to decide what to work on next.
For teachers, the teacher portal connects independent practice with the classroom. It gives teachers a way to review participation and speaking evidence, and decide where a learner needs support.
A beginning we can build on together
This is a first chapter for YNova. We’re starting with IELTS Speaking and will keep listening to the learners and teachers who use it.
If you are preparing for IELTS, we would love you to try it. If you teach, we would love to hear where it helps and where it needs more work. Thank you for being here at the beginning.
We hope your next attempt feels a little easier to begin.
