I’ve tried quite a few platforms and I always ended up redoing everything myself: rough exercises, poorly calibrated levels. Here, nothing to tweak. You can tell it’s written by English teachers: the instructions are clean, the documents are authentic, and the printable sheet is identical to the screen version. I set a quiz on Monday, it’s marked before my class leaves the room.

Teacher pack
Animals · 4e · B1Ready to use, less prep.
Timed lesson plan, CEFR objectives, marking grids, annotated answer keys. Everything you usually prepare yourself: already there.
My students already knew The Big Challenge thanks to the contest, so I had no one to convince. What surprised me is that they go back on their own: series to unlock, challenges between classes… Students who never handed anything in now ask me when I’m opening the next lesson. In fifteen years, I’d never seen that in English.
Every week we get ads for “AI” tools with interchangeable content. The Academy is the opposite: real editorial work, cultural themes that carry a whole sequence (Roman Britain went down very well with my class) and 25 years of craft you can feel in the details. My management approved the licence in a single meeting: one price for the whole school, one purchase order.
