Editorial Policy
Why you can rely on what we publish — and how to tell us when we get something wrong.
Who writes our content
Every lesson and article is written or reviewed by a qualified English teacher (minimum CELTA; most hold DELTA or an MA in TESOL/Applied Linguistics). The author is named on each page, with credentials linked to a profile you can verify.
How we research
Language claims are checked against recognised references — including the Cambridge and British Council grammars and the CEFR descriptors. Where we cite data, we say where it comes from. Original classroom data is labelled as such, with the sample size.
Accuracy & corrections
If you spot an error, email our team. We correct confirmed mistakes promptly and update the visible “Updated” date only when the change is meaningful — never to fake freshness.
Honesty in headlines
We don’t promise outcomes we can’t support (“fluent in a week”). Headlines reflect what the page actually delivers.
Independence
We are an independent company in Oxford, not affiliated with the University of Oxford. When a link is sponsored or affiliate, we disclose it on the page.
AI use
We use software tools to assist research and editing, but every published lesson reflects the judgement of a named human teacher who is accountable for its accuracy. We do not publish unreviewed machine‑generated content.
