For teachers
Mark speaking in minutes, with evidence you can trust.
Set an assignment, let learners practise with NOVA, then review what they chose to share and mark it with a draft comment you edit. The teacher portal runs in the browser at teachers.ielts.ynova.ai.
The teacher loop
Assign, review, mark. NOVA does the listening.
Five steps, repeated each week. Most of the time goes on the marking, not on collecting the evidence.
Assign
Set a Part 1 session, a Part 2 cue card or a mock test by Part for the whole class.
Learners practise
Each learner works with NOVA on their own phone, under exam-style timing, with hints in their own language that fade as they improve.
Review evidence by class
Open the class view. See who has practised, completion for the assignment, and the evidence learners have chosen to share, grouped in one place.
Mark with a NOVA draft you edit
For each shared piece, NOVA drafts a comment. Edit it, shorten it, or replace it. Your version is the one that stands.
The learner sees your feedback
Your comment and mark appear in the learner's app, so the next session starts from what you said.
What you see
Clear lines on what a teacher can and cannot see.
Learners decide what to share. That keeps the practice honest, and it keeps the trust between you and the class.
You see
- Your class roster and who has practised this week
- Assignment completion by learner
- Band estimates, labelled as practice estimates
- Recordings and transcripts a learner has chosen to share
You don't see
- Anything a learner has not shared with you
- A mark NOVA has decided on your behalf. NOVA drafts; you mark
Inside the portal
One class, one screen.
The class view shows practice this week, the last session, and whether each learner has shared evidence with you. This is the shape of the screen, not a screenshot.
