# English Test Coach

> English Test Coach is an independent IELTS preparation website with original writing questions, annotated sample answers, worked guides and practice tools.

The teaching resources below are public and can be read without an account. Samples illustrate writing techniques; they are not official IELTS answers or examiner-awarded scores. AI writing feedback is available in the writing workspace: 3 free checks a month (the first needs no sign-up), then Pro or an exam pass. This directory does not promise inclusion in any search or AI product.
