IELTSHUT — The IELTS platform that grades itself.
A white-label, multi-tenant IELTS prep and exam platform for coaching centers — full Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking exams, AI grading against the real IELTS criteria, and a locked-down desktop kiosk for proctored mock tests. It's our furthest-along product, heading into private beta this quarter.
IELTS prep is stuck doing everything by hand.
Coaching centers run mock exams on paper, grade Writing and Speaking manually for hours, and have no secure way to run tests on their own computers. IELTSHUT turns that whole workflow into software.
Grading takes hours, per student
Examiners hand-mark four modules against four criteria each. IELTSHUT scores Listening and Reading instantly and drafts AI band scores for Writing and Speaking — examiners review instead of starting from scratch.
No secure way to run mock tests
A locked-down desktop kiosk delivers proctored exams with lockdown telemetry, license activation and offline resume — so a center can run real exam conditions on its own machines.
Every center wants its own brand
Multi-tenant from the ground up: each coaching network gets branded portals, custom domains, its own students, staff, roles and billing — one platform, many institutes.
Everything a center needs, in one platform.
