About IELTSBuddy
We built the feedback loop IELTS students never had.
Most students practice for months and still don't know which sentence is costing them a 6.5 instead of a 7.0. IELTSBuddy was built to close that gap, with honest, examiner-aligned feedback, instantly.
Our Story
Why I built this
I watched friends pay tens of thousands of rupees for IELTS coaching, and still fail their most important test. Not because they didn't work hard. Because no one ever told them exactly what was wrong.
No one ever told them exactly what was wrong.
I was preparing for IELTS myself. I sat through the same frustration: submitting a writing response and having no idea if it scored a 6 or a 7.5, or why.
The official IELTS rubric has four criteria. Every examiner uses them. But almost no student ever sees feedback tied to those four criteria, not in real time, not affordably.
So I built IELTSBuddy to change that. Not as a business idea. As the tool I wished existed when I started studying.

What We Stand For
Honest feedback. Not encouragement.
Most IELTS apps give you practice. We give you a score, the same way a real examiner would.
Every response you submit is evaluated against the four official IELTS band descriptors: Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy. You see exactly where you lost marks. You know exactly what to fix.
That's not a feature. That's the whole point.
Accuracy benchmarked against official IELTS examiner rubrics across 1,000+ evaluated responses.
Who We Are
A small team. Serious about one thing.
We're a team based in Kathmandu, building in public. No VC backing. No growth hacks. Just students helping students get the score they need.
