The problem
Others read it.
Memo learns it.
One-off feedback tells you what went wrong today. Memo tracks what keeps going wrong — across every essay you write.
- One-shot grading — no memory
- Same generic feedback every time
- Forgets your last session
- You guess what to practise next
- Tells you the score, not the pattern
- Remembers every mistake across all essays
- Guides and reminds as you write
- Gives feedback with sentence rewrites
- Builds exercises from your error patterns
- Fixes overused words with synonyms
How it works
Three tools. One goal.
AI Memory
Tracks every error across your essays. After 3 essays, you'll know exactly which mistakes are patterns costing your Guangzhou writing score.
Guide Mode
Live AI coaching as you write — every ~10 words. It spots mistakes in real time, before you submit, not after.
Targeted Exercises
Drills built from your specific recurring errors. Not generic grammar practice — exercises for the exact issues in your writing.
Scored on all criteria
Every essay, every criterion
IELTS writing is scored on four criteria — each worth 25%. Most tools give an overall number. Memo breaks down every essay so you know exactly which criterion to target.
Task Achievement
Did you fully answer the question and support your position?
Coherence & Cohesion
Does your essay flow logically from sentence to sentence?
Lexical Resource
Are you using a range of vocabulary accurately and appropriately?
Grammatical Range & Accuracy
Are you using varied grammar structures without recurring errors?

Common questions from Guangzhou candidates

IDP Education Guangzhou is in Tianhe District. British Council Guangzhou is in Zhujiang New Town. IELTS on Computer is available in Panyu and Haizhu districts. Test dates run multiple times per month — book at least 4–5 weeks in advance to secure your preferred format and date.
What IELTS score do I need for Australian skilled migration from Guangzhou?
General Skilled Migration (189/190) requires Competent English (6.0 in all four bands). Proficient English (7.0 in each) adds 10 points to your EOI. Writing is almost always the lowest-scoring skill for Guangzhou candidates. Improving it from 6.0 to 7.0 directly increases your migration points.
What do Australian universities typically require for IELTS?
Most Australian universities require IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0 for postgraduate programmes. Competitive programmes at Group of Eight universities may require 7.0 overall or 7.0 in writing specifically. Check your target institution and programme requirements before booking.
What writing patterns are most common for Guangzhou IELTS candidates?
Argument paragraphs that state a point without developing it with a concrete example, cohesive device overuse, and overly complex sentences that sacrifice clarity for formality are the most frequent issues. IELTS Memo tracks these across your essays and shows which patterns are recurring — not just appearing once.
