— THE PROBLEM, THE PRACTICE

What gets in the way, and how Carna practises it.

Three things that stop people on this path, each beside the practice built to remove it.

— ONE SCALE

Every score on one ladder.

Whatever the path, the engine underneath is the one schools run today: eight skills, each with its own score, on the CEFR ladder from A1 to C2, and marking that happens the moment you submit.

FAQ

Common questions.

Straight answers, including what the individual tutor can and cannot do yet.

Is Carna useful if I already have a good IELTS score?

Yes. An IELTS score measures one day. Carna keeps building what you use after it — academic writing, speaking and reading at the upper CEFR levels — with every score on the same scale.

Does Carna help with university application essays?

Its writing scoring is built for academic essays: task, coherence, vocabulary and grammar. A personal statement is also a story, so use Carna to tighten the English and a human reader for the story.

What will it cost me as a student?

There is nothing to pay yet, because there is nothing to buy yet: the individual tutor is in build and the early-access list is the way in. Joining costs nothing, and we will write to you with what it costs before you decide anything.

EARLY ACCESS

First in line when it opens.

Carna's personal tutor covers all eight skills from A1 to C2, and it is not open to individual learners yet. The early-access list is how you get in first: one quiet email when it opens, no drip campaign.
