TUTORS
Engagement matters. What pupils do while they’re engaged matters more.
French and Spanish · GCSE Foundation to A Level
As one language teacher to another, I know how much certain pupils struggle with verbs, with learning vocabulary in a way that they can actually remember it in a year’s time, or with writing a syntactically correct paragraph. I am also aware that what pupils really enjoy is speaking the language, but equally know that this requires careful scaffolding.
This is why I have created My Language Brain: to give pupils carefully structured practice that makes learning a language enjoyable and, more importantly from a teacher’s perspective, helps them achieve better results.

Bring some fun into your lessons
Use many of the activities as live games in your lessons, online or face to face, and race your tutees yourself for a fun element of competition. Every tutor race also has an AI racer: choose Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced, and the cleverer it is, the faster it moves.

Give your tutees a clear view of their progress.
Every pupil has a personal dashboard where they can see their progress in vocabulary, verbs, writing and speaking, and access their homework. Their My Practice Lists collect the words and verb forms they get wrong, with spaced retrieval prompting them to recall these again at increasing intervals to help them remember the correct answers over time. Their independent practice counts too.
More time teaching.
Less time administering.
Set work, run live activities and see where tutees need support, without creating pupil email accounts.
Set homework with automatic marking
Choose the content and activity, then assign it to your pupils. Automatically marked online tasks give you results without a pile of marking.
See who needs help
See pupils’ first attempts, final results and submission times. Identify common difficulties and use them to plan your next lesson.
Get pupils started without email accounts
Add pupils by typing their names, pasting a register or importing a spreadsheet. They sign in using their class code, name and personal PIN.
Turn every mistake into progress.
Spotted, practised, brought back, reported.
Getting an answer wrong should be the start of learning, not the end of the task. My Practice Lists collect the words and verb forms each pupil finds difficult. Pupils can practise them anytime, while spaced retrieval brings them back for recall checks at increasing intervals to help the learning last.
A mistake is spotted
A wrong word or verb form identifies something the pupil needs to work on. Supported corrections remain separate from their first unaided attempt.
It joins My Practice Lists
The item is saved to the pupil’s personal list, with its original sentence where available. They can return to practise it at any time.
It comes back after a gap
The first recall check is due after 48 hours. A correct unaided answer schedules another a week later. Two successful checks move the item into Practice History; an incorrect answer restarts the sequence.
Use the results to inform your teaching and your reports
See what individual pupils and your class are getting wrong. Use this information to target support, plan lessons and write reports that reflect each pupil’s strengths and areas for improvement.

GOOD QUESTIONS
A few things
worth knowing.
Can I try MLB with my tutees?
Yes. Start a 14-day free trial with up to 3 tutees, with everything included. Cancel before day 15 and you pay nothing.
Do my tutees need an email or Google account?
No. Tutees sign in with a code, choose their name and enter their own PIN, so they need no email address or other account. You add them by typing their names.
What languages and levels does MLB cover?
MLB covers French and Spanish, from first verbs and beginners’ courses to GCSE Foundation, GCSE Higher and A Level. Vocabulary lists support AQA and Edexcel GCSE and A Level, plus Edexcel iGCSE.
Can I see what each tutee got wrong?
Yes. See each tutee’s first attempt, final result and submission time for every piece of work, and the questions they most often get wrong, so you know exactly where to start your next session.
Can I use MLB live in an online lesson?
Yes. Launch an activity during a lesson and watch your tutee work through it, or race them in a Brain Race and join in yourself.
Does MLB use AI for marking?
Most activities are marked against answers written by a language expert, without AI. AI is used to find mistakes in Free Writing, which is not graded, and to check learners’ own spoken exam answers. These activities are clearly labelled. See our Privacy Notice for details of how answers are processed.
