Speaking Sprint

A focused IELTS speaking plan that explains recurring mistakes in your first language and gives you a better second attempt.

Inspect the full assessment

Seven days. One priority at a time.

A finite preparation purchase can sell on prioritization and teacher calibration. It cannot credibly promise a new proficiency level in a week or compete through generic simulated interviews alone.

Intended buyer

A Spanish-speaking candidate with an IELTS test booked in seven to fourteen days, already near their target level.

The offer

Three 15-minute mocks, short drills, a seven-day plan and one teacher feedback review.

First version

One exam and feedback language; original prompts, timers, transcript comparisons, teacher review and export. No official affiliation or score guarantee.

Main risk

Free practice is abundant and misleading feedback can hurt trust. Teacher calibration and low-cost referrals are prerequisites.

When to stop or rethink

Rework after fewer than 3 of 30 qualified candidates pay, handling above 12 minutes or teachers reject more than 10% of priority advice. Calibrate before adding score estimates.

First steps

  1. Before launch · Calibrate with teachers

    Recruit two independent IELTS tutors. Have them review the diagnostic and recommend it only for identified between-lesson practice needs.

  2. First selling day · Offer ten pilot places

    Sell the seven-day plan for $29. One buyer among 20 qualified students is a planning scenario, not observed conversion.

  3. After delivery · Measure useful repetitions

    Track second attempts, teacher corrections and handling time. Ask whether the priority was clear and usable.
