Do you prefer studying alone or with other people?

Answer developmentToo general. Add a specific example so the examiner can follow your idea.
Say when it happened, what you were preparing, and what improved.

The real problem
Most candidates are not short on effort. They are short on clear feedback.
IELTS Speaking preparation gets frustrating when the advice is vague. Maya turns each answer into a specific practice task, so you know what to change before test day.
You can answer the question, but it stays too general.
Maya pushes you to add reasons, examples, and structure the examiner can follow.
Your feedback is vague, so practice turns into guessing.
Every critique becomes a short retry task instead of another long list of comments.
You need Band 7, but the gap feels vague.
Band criteria show which speaking habits are helping and which are holding you back.
How IELTSdojo works:
Set your target band.
Tell Maya your score goal, test date, and current Speaking level. She turns that into a simple starting plan.

What happens in the free 10-minute lesson?
Maya asks one IELTS Speaking-style question, listens while you answer out loud, gives you one focused fix, then helps you retry the same idea more clearly. The goal is to leave with one answer that is already stronger than your first attempt.
Is it really free, or do I need a card?
The first 10-minute lesson is free and does not need a payment card. Paid access is only needed if you want more sessions or fuller feedback after the free lesson.
Is this an official IELTS band score?
No. IELTSdojo gives practice feedback aligned with IELTS Speaking criteria. It can show likely band-level signals and what to improve next, but it does not replace an official IELTS result.
Can this help if I am stuck around Band 6.5?
That is the main use case. Maya looks for the habits that often keep answers below Band 7, such as thin examples, unclear structure, repeated vocabulary, long pauses, or weak answer development.
Do I have to practise with a real person?
No. You practise alone with Maya in your browser. You still speak out loud, but there is no human tutor or classmate on the call.
Can Maya understand my accent?
Maya is designed for IELTS learners with different accents. A quiet room and headphones help the live session hear you more clearly.
