Why it wins

Exam-rubric mastery

Covers IB, GCSE, IGCSE, IELTS, CEFR, ACTFL and TOEFL with content mapped to each board so learners rehearse the exact speaking prompts they will face.

Teacher co-pilot

Live dashboards, transcripts and AI-written feedback help teachers plan interventions faster and reduce workload stress.

Learner-first AI journeys

Scenario walkthrough guides students from choosing a language to receiving phrase-level corrections, nudges and confidence boosts.

Advocacy-led growth

Social media, micro-influencers and teacher ambassador programmes create network effects long before paid media fatigue sets in.

Own the premium AI speaking coach category

Strategic partners unlock student ARR without losing the school sales motion.

  • Marvely is the only tool delivering accurate, rubric-aligned feedback for every spoken phrase while keeping teachers in the loop.
  • Schools organically promote the app in class, then students subscribe independently for £9.99 per month to continue at home.
  • Teacher licences (£499 per year) and sponsored bundles (£60k per year for 500 students) let partners land-and-expand with predictable pricing.
  • The same Pushalize infrastructure that powers our games underpins Marvely, so strategic allies can extend it to other subjects quickly.

Evidence of impact
