Learning Tools
Sometimes you need to check your wording and that you are on the right track...but you've no access to a teacher.
Sometimes, you are the teacher, and you need an exceptional resource ready to go so
you can be exceptional elsewhere for your students.
Here are the Study Beyond English learning tools that you can use to help you with your learning and teaching.
They can support your language and literature skills,
identifying how you are progressing for the assessment objectives, and nudge you in the right direction.
These are checkers, and although 'closed' (you're not chatting to a ChatBot), they are AI-supported.
Therefore, they may make errors, and they are not guaranteed a final mark.
Clients who use them alongside other learning and support, can make accelerated progress.
They are generated to share my teaching experience, skills, and knowledge,
with safeguarding and mindfulness at their centre.
