Where the others are better.
No tool wins everywhere. Here's where the alternatives genuinely beat us — and how we complement them.
🤝
Tutors win on rapport.
A great human tutor will read your body language and crack a joke when you freeze. We don't pretend to match that — but at £40/hr most learners can only afford one session a week. Britwise gives you the other 167 hours.
🎯
Duolingo is great for vocab.
If your goal is 5 minutes a day on the bus learning verbs, Duolingo wins. If your goal is to walk into a job interview and SPEAK fluently in 30 days, you need real-time conversation with feedback — and that's where we live.
🎓
Test-prep courses are exam-day specialists.
If you're sitting IELTS in 3 weeks, an offline prep course is a sensible co-investment for mock exams and writing marking. Britwise complements it — daily speaking reps no course can deliver at scale.
