About
Techniques you can reuse, not scripts you memorise
Coach Xaayow is an exam-preparation platform for candidates targeting band 6.5 and above. The approach is simple: every question type gets a clear, repeatable structure, so you always know how to build an answer — even for a topic you've never seen before.
Meet Coach Xaayow
Karsten Mansfield Potts
Karsten has spent 20 years teaching English — in classrooms, over video calls, and one-to-one with people preparing for the exam that would change their plans. Every technique here, the 1-2-3 Method included, is something he shaped with real students, watching what actually moved their band scores. Now that same coaching is yours, whenever you need it.
Who runs it
Owned by Vector Consultancy
The Coach Xaayow academy is owned and operated by Vector Consultancy, Coach Xaayow's consultancy. Because payments are processed under the consultancy, your Sifalo Pay receipt — and your card or mobile-money statement — will show Vector Consultancy rather than Coach Xaayow. That is the correct, expected charge for your course or community membership.
The 1-2-3 Method
For Speaking Part 1: one direct answer, one supporting detail, one example or reason. A fixed shape that turns short answers into fluent, natural speech.
All four skills
All four sections are live — Speaking (Parts 1, 2 & 3), Listening, Reading and Writing. A single enrolment opens every one.
Model answers & practice
Real question banks with band-7 model answers, reusable sentence starters, and quizzes that check you've understood each technique.
