Pair it with our guide to behavioural interview stories in English. 📄 Free Mini App Check your tech interview English for free Free, no card needed. Practise the spoken English of a tech interview before you book anything. Try the Mini App→ What an AI Scorer Cannot Check Whether your technical answer holds up. An AI scorer can check that your answer has a structure. It cannot question your design the way an engineer would: “What happens when this queue backs up?”Whether you sound senior. Saying “I decided” instead of “we tried”, or naming a trade-off before you are asked, changes how an interviewer reads your level.Which English mistakes matter. Some mistakes an interviewer ignores; others change your meaning. A coach who works in tech knows the difference.Real pressure. Talking to a person who interrupts you is different from talking to software. Huru itself says its scores are coaching signals, not hiring decisions, and that it can occasionally mishear a word. That matters more with an accent: if a speech model mishears you, the feedback is about the wrong sentence. A Plan Using Both Here is one way to combine them over three weeks before a loop. Week 1: book the free Mockly trial so a coach can tell you which round and which English habits to focus on. Start daily Huru practice on behavioural questions from your job description.Week 2: keep Huru daily. Book a Mockly session for the technical round that worries you most: coding or system design.Week 3: run a Huru live interview on Demanding mode, then book one full mock round with a Mockly coach a few days before the interview.
