How it works

Live teaching, a real curriculum, and proof that it is working

Learniv is not a flashcard app with a tutor bolted on. Lessons, homework, practice and testing are one system, so the work you do between lessons feeds directly into the next one.

Six steps from first lesson to exam day

The same sequence whether you are preparing for IELTS in eight weeks or learning Spanish over a year.

  1. 1

    Tell us where you are

    A short placement check — reading, listening and a two-minute spoken sample — puts you on the right level instead of the one you guessed. It takes about fifteen minutes and you never repeat it from scratch.

  2. 2

    Meet your tutor

    Filter by language, availability, accent and price, then book a trial. If the fit is wrong, switch tutors and keep every bit of your progress, vocabulary and history.

  3. 3

    Follow a real curriculum

    Your course is organised into weeks, lessons and topics. Your tutor sees the same plan you do, so each lesson starts where the last one stopped rather than with 'so, what shall we do today?'

  4. 4

    Practise between lessons

    Homework, spaced-repetition vocabulary and quizzes are queued automatically from what you covered. Fifteen minutes on the app between lessons is worth more than an hour of cramming before one.

  5. 5

    Test under real conditions

    Full-length mock exams run to the actual format — play-once listening audio, section timers, and answers locked when time expires. No second attempt at a section you have already seen.

  6. 6

    Watch the numbers move

    Section-level scores, vocabulary retention and speaking time are tracked over the whole course, so you and your tutor can both see which area is actually holding the score back.

What holds it together

The parts of the platform that do their work quietly, between the lessons you actually notice.

Find the right tutor

Every tutor profile carries their qualifications, subjects, availability in your timezone, and reviews from learners who completed a course with them.

Scheduling that respects timezones

Book, reschedule or cancel from the web or the app. Reminders arrive by email and push notification, in your local time.

Keep talking between lessons

Message your tutor, send a voice note, or hand in written homework for marking without waiting for the next live session.

Spaced repetition, personalised

The practice queue is built from the words and structures you personally got wrong — not a generic deck everyone on the course shares.

Progress you can audit

Every score on your dashboard links back to the attempt that produced it, so a number is never something you just have to trust.

Certificates that mean something

Course certificates are issued on completed assessments, not attendance — and each one is individually verifiable.

On your phone, too

The Learniv mobile app carries the parts of the course that suit small windows of time: vocabulary practice, homework, quiz attempts, and your lesson schedule. Downloaded lessons stay readable without a connection, and anything you complete offline syncs the next time you are online.

Everything is one account. Start a mock test on your laptop, review the marked answers on your phone on the way home.
