Coach Pen vs Khan Academy
Brilliant free lessons — plus exam-rubric marking.
Khan Academy is a wonderful free resource, and its Writing Coach guides students from outline to draft without ever writing for them — an approach Coach Pen shares. Coach Pen goes further for exams: it marks your writing to a specific rubric, estimates your band or score, and trains the exact criteria that exam rewards.
