Anyone learning English as a second or additional language: students in US schools, international students preparing for college, and adults improving English for work.

Can I practice speaking?

Yes. The voice tutor lets you speak English out loud, practice conversations and interviews, and work on sounds and word stress.

Can Kuest explain things in my first language?

Yes. You can ask for an explanation in your first language when a rule is confusing, then practice in English.

Can it help me prepare for the TOEFL or IELTS?

Yes. You can practice reading, listening, writing and speaking tasks and get feedback on each answer. The TOEFL iBT changed in January 2026, so check the official ETS page for the current format.

How is Kuest different from Duolingo for English?

Duolingo is good for a short daily habit, with game-style lessons that keep vocabulary and basic phrases coming back. Kuest works more like a tutor: it explains the grammar behind your mistakes, works from your class material and homework, and lets you speak about whatever you're studying. For TOEFL and IELTS, Kuest can also give feedback on writing and speaking practice. Many learners use both.

How is Kuest different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT answers. Kuest teaches: it asks what you think first, checks every step, turns what you learned into quizzes and flashcards, and remembers what you got wrong so it comes back to it. It also grades your answers on our servers, so it never shows you the answer before you try.

Does one plan cover every subject?

Yes. Free and paid plans include every subject, exam and skill on this site. Switch subjects any time and each one keeps its own history.

Is Kuest safe for students under 18?

It's built for them. There are no ad trackers in the app, we keep personal details out of logs and AI traces, and parents can link their account to follow progress without reading every chat.

Can Kuest replace a tutor or teacher?

It's there for the hours a tutor or teacher can't be: late-night homework, the week before a test, the question you didn't want to ask in class. Many students use it alongside their teacher, not instead of them.

See how Kuest teaches it

It asks before it tells, so you do the thinking and it sticks.

Is it “I have seen that movie yesterday” or “I saw that movie yesterday”?

Look at the word “yesterday.” Does it name a finished time in the past, or a time that's still going on?

A finished time. Yesterday is over.

Right. With a finished time like yesterday, last week or in 2020, English uses the simple past. Which sentence is correct, then?

“I saw that movie yesterday.”

Yes. Now, if you don't say when, and you're talking about your experience, which form fits “I ___ that movie before”?

Present perfect: “I have seen that movie before.”

Use the simple past with a finished time (I saw it yesterday) and the present perfect for experience without a time (I have seen it).
