Why I Created This Website

I've been an IELTS instructor for more than twelve years, and during that time I've worked with over 5,000 students.

As teachers, we often tell our students that they should read regularly — ideally every day. Reading exposes you to new vocabulary, better sentence structures, unfamiliar ideas and different ways of expressing yourself. But there is a problem I have seen again and again: many students simply don't know what to read, where to find worthwhile articles, or how to approach them effectively.

That is one of the reasons I created this website.

But it isn't the only one.

Outside the classroom, I have always been someone who enjoys reading, learning and discovering new things. I like exploring ideas, asking questions and sharing what I find interesting with other people. So I wanted to create a space where those two parts of my life — teaching and curiosity — could naturally come together.

This website is meant to be that space.

I want you to be able to come here not simply because you need to study English, but because there is something genuinely worth reading.

You might find an article about psychology, science, history, education, society, technology or a place I have visited. Sometimes I will write about an idea that has stayed with me. Sometimes I will share my own experiences or observations. At other times, I will carefully select material that I believe can broaden your perspective, introduce you to something new or simply make you think.

And while you are doing all of that, your English can improve naturally.

One feature of the website that is particularly important to me is designed to make reading in English less frustrating. If you come across a word or phrase you don't understand while reading an article, you can click or tap on it and see its English meaning or Azerbaijani translation without having to leave the page.

You can understand the word and continue reading.

That may sound like a small feature, but I think it can make a significant difference. Looking up unfamiliar vocabulary constantly in another application or dictionary interrupts the flow of reading. My aim is to remove as much of that friction as possible while still encouraging you to engage with authentic English.

Of course, language learning will remain an important part of the website.

As an IELTS and English teacher, I will also share material on improving your English and preparing for IELTS: explanations of test questions, vocabulary and grammar, methods of developing different language skills, test formats, strategies, and other resources that I believe are genuinely useful.

But I don't want this to become a website that people visit only when they have an IELTS exam approaching.

I want it to be a place for reading.

A place for learning.

A place for curiosity.

And, over time, a collection of ideas, articles, explanations and experiences that are worth returning to.

If you can come here, read something interesting, learn something you didn't know before, improve your English along the way and perhaps see a subject from a slightly different perspective, then the website will be doing exactly what I created it to do.
