How it works

This is the product. Not a mock-up of it.

Every screen and film on this page was recorded from the real app, in a phone browser, on a demo school with made-up learners. Nothing is staged in a design tool.

Recording of the app on a phone: the home screen, the practice library, then a training lesson with its cue card.
From the home screen to a cue card. Real app, demo learner.

1 · Practise

Pick a part. Speak under the real timing.

NOVA plans the session from your last one. Practice scenarios run two or five minutes on Part 1, 2 or 3 questions. Part 2 gives you one minute to prepare and up to two minutes to speak, like the exam.

  • Teacher mode lets NOVA step into your language when you get stuck, then back to English.
  • Immersive mode is English only, no breaks.
  • Everything you say is transcribed, so you can read back what was heard.

Recording: opening session history, then a mock-test report, scrolling through the overall band, the truth label and the four criteria.
History to report, scrolled end to end.
Report scrolled to the performance breakdown: Fluency and Coherence 7.0, Lexical Resource 6.5, Grammatical Range and Accuracy 6.5, Pronunciation not assessed because the attempt had no audio evidence.
Four criteria. Pronunciation says not assessed when there is no audio.

2 · Read the report

A band with its label, and the reasons under it.

The overall band sits under a line that says what it is: an estimate, not an official IELTS score. Each criterion gets a band in half steps and one thing to fix, tied to what you actually said.

When a criterion cannot be assessed, the report says so instead of guessing. Pronunciation, for example, needs audio; a transcript alone never produces a pronunciation band. The whole method is on the scoring page.

Practice estimate. Not an official IELTS result.

3 · In your language

The same report, in the language you think in.

Four captures of one screen. NOVA's summary, the labels and the truth line all follow the interface language. Arabic flips the layout right to left.

Tutor preferences on a phone: interface language, tutor style, response patience and the L1 lean slider set to 50 percent.
You set how much first-language help you want.

You hold the dial.

A slider sets how far NOVA leans on your first language, from minimal to heavy. Twenty interface languages, hints in 33. It does not fade by itself; it changes when you change it. That is a deliberate choice, and the study that would tell us when support should fade is on the research page.

Recording: switching the interface language in settings from English to Thai to Arabic and returning to the same report each time.

4 · Train the weak spot

Five short stages, then a real answer.

Training is where the report turns into practice. You can think in any language until the last stage; only the final recording has to be English.

  1. S1

    Ideas

    Answer, reason, example. Type or speak, in any language. NOVA turns your ideas into an English draft and may not invent your facts.

  2. S2

    Vocabulary

    Cards built from your own ideas. Listen, record, or type. Glossed in your language.

  3. S3

    Sentences

    Rebuild a model sentence from word chips, then say it.

  4. S4

    Talk practice

    Shadow it, then guided, then on your own. A sample answer can be revealed; it is built from your ideas.

  5. S5

    Mini answer

    Thirty seconds, recorded. Then a correction card. Part 2 ends with the full one-minute, two-minute round.

What you miss goes into spaced review, and NOVA plans the next session from this one.

Training home: Part 1 Interview, Part 2 Long Turn and Part 3 Discussion, each with a Select button.
Choose a part.
Stage S1 of a Part 2 lesson: the cue card prompts, a box to type or speak ideas, and structured note slots.
S1: your ideas first.
Recording: the training home, then a Part 2 lesson opening at stage S1 with its progress bar and cue card.
Into a lesson.
Review screen: a vocabulary card for the word ship with its pronunciation, an example sentence and Again, Hard, Good and Easy buttons.
Spaced review brings back what you missed.

5 · What a teacher sees

A queue of names with reasons, not a wall of charts.

The teacher portal opens on who needs a teacher first, with the evidence behind each case. Open a learner and the decision loop is on one screen: what changed, what the mock tests say, what to assign, what to tell them.

Teacher workspace: four headline counts, then an attention queue of learners, each with the reason they are listed, the class, the activity evidence and a View learner evidence button.
The attention queue. Every case states its evidence: the band, where it came from, which part, the date.
Learner · Overview
A learner profile: latest valid mock band 5.5, a stable trend, practice this week, open assignments, and progress-over-time charts.
One learner. Four numbers first, then the charts with their gaps left as gaps.
