For self-study
Serious self-study, without a tutor
No class, no tutor, your own schedule. Self-study’s hard part was never discipline — it’s feedback. You can’t objectively grade your own speaking, and a textbook can’t tell you why your essay stalls at 6.5.
The self-study feedback gap
- You can’t score your own Writing and Speaking against the descriptors — the two papers a human has to judge.
- Textbooks answer everyone’s questions, not the specific mistakes in your last answer.
- Speaking needs a conversation partner, and there usually isn’t one on demand.
- Left alone, it’s natural to practise what already feels good and avoid the weak skill.
How Axiom becomes the missing examiner
A voice examiner, on demand
A full-duplex spoken interview — in real time — that listens, replies aloud and probes through Parts 1–3, whenever you have ten minutes.
Real grading on your own work
Paste an essay for band-by-descriptor scoring, or get line-level Writing feedback as you draft. You get a predicted band on the official descriptors — so you know where you actually stand, not where you hope you do.
The loop a good tutor would build
FSRS word decks and Mistake Autopsy turn every miss into a timed review, so weaknesses get hunted down instead of avoided — and it all works offline.
One price, not an hourly meter
One flat global price — $4.99/mo, $34.99/yr, or $79.99 once — instead of paying a tutor by the hour for as long as you prepare.
Train it — don’t just read about it
Self-study works when the feedback is honest and always available. That’s the gap Axiom is built to fill. See where you stand with a free band prediction first.
