The problem

Three things your teachers shouldn't have to do.

01

Hours marking writings.

A proper Cambridge mark takes 10–15 minutes per student. Across one class, that's an evening. Across three, a Sunday.

02

Choosing homework for 30 students by hand.

Different students need different practice. Picking the right exercise for each is hours of teacher time every week.

03

Guessing which students will pass.

By March, you need to know. Spreadsheets of mock-exam scores don't tell you which grammar points are dragging which student down.

What LingoLugo does

Built by teachers. Used daily at our own school.

Feature 01

Cambridge writing, marked in minutes.

Snap a photo of a handwritten essay — or paste the typed text. LingoLugo scores it against the four official Cambridge bands and tags every correction by the grammar point it touches. Trained on years of writings from our own Cambridge students at Welcome English School.

  • Handwriting reads straight off the phone camera
  • Scored against Content, Communicative Achievement, Organisation, Language
  • You review and edit every band before it goes to the student
A B2 First essay marked against the four Cambridge bands — Language 3, Content 5, Organisation 4, Communicative Achievement 4 — with the original text's mistakes highlighted alongside the corrected version.

Feature 02

Different homework for every student. One click.

Every mistake we find feeds the student's profile. The grammar they keep getting wrong becomes their homework tonight — targeted exercises on their specific gaps, not generic practice for the whole class.

  • Auto-selected from each student's weak-tag profile
  • Maria gets third conditional; Diego gets linkers; Lucía gets phrasal verbs
  • Twenty seconds of teacher time per student per week

Feature 03

One page. You know who's going to pass.

The owner view, Monday morning. Every student, every Cambridge skill, a projected band based on the last 30 days of work. The ones who aren't going to pass in June light up red — with the reasons one click away.

  • Projected bands per student, per skill
  • Drill into the grammar tags dragging the score
  • See which weeks each student stopped showing up

We rebuilt our own marking workflow into LingoLugo because we wanted our evenings back. Now we ship it to other academies who want the same.
