For Non-Native English Researchers

English shouldn't be the gap between your knowledge and your publication.

A complete free AI toolkit for non-native English researchers โ€” abstract checker, title optimizer, keyword generator, and journal matcher. Built by a researcher who lived the problem.

Free ยท No signup ยท Sessions carry across all tools

Why English-for-Researchers is a category, not a feature

General English tools โ€” Grammarly, ChatGPT, Duolingo โ€” were built for general English. They do not understand what a research abstract should disclose, why a vague conclusion will trigger reviewer pushback, or which journal is a credible venue for your specific field.

Non-native English researchers have a specific workflow: idea โ†’ draft โ†’ polish โ†’ submit. At every step, English-as-a-second-language adds friction that native speakers don't experience. The right kind of tool reduces that friction without compromising your authorship or your science.

MyLevelUp English is built around that exact workflow โ€” and only that workflow.

I built MyLevelUp English because I watched too many brilliant non-native researchers โ€” colleagues, students, collaborators โ€” held back not by their science but by the gap between what they understood and what they could express in English. This is the toolkit I wished I had when I was starting out.

Also need exam prep?

Many researchers need IELTS or TOEFL for graduate admission, visas, or institutional requirements. The same platform covers all four skills.

Frequently asked questions

Who is MyLevelUp English for?+

Non-native English researchers, graduate students, post-docs, and academic professionals who need to publish, present, or communicate research in English. The tools are designed around the specific challenges of academic writing as a second-language speaker โ€” not general English learning.

Are these tools really free?+

Yes โ€” the core tools (abstract checker, title optimizer, keyword generator, journal matcher) stay free. No credit card, no signup. We rate-limit free use to prevent abuse. Premium features like consolidated PDF submission reports are optional and clearly labelled.

How is this different from Grammarly or ChatGPT?+

Grammarly catches surface grammar. ChatGPT is a general assistant. MyLevelUp English tools are purpose-built for academic publishing: the abstract checker understands what a Methods section should disclose; the journal matcher knows the difference between Scopus and a questionable venue; the keyword generator outputs MeSH terms when you are in medicine. Every tool was designed with one workflow in mind โ€” getting a non-native researcher's paper accepted.

Will using AI tools get my paper rejected by journals?+

No โ€” using AI to improve your own writing is allowed by every major publisher (Nature, Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, IEEE, BMJ). What is restricted is generating fabricated content or undisclosed AI authorship. Our tools provide feedback so you rewrite your own work; they do not generate the abstract for you. You stay in control of authorship.

Do I need to share my unpublished research with the AI?+

Only the parts you paste in (typically the abstract, sometimes the title or keywords). We send these to the AI for analysis and do not store them. We do not train models on user submissions. For maximum safety, you can paraphrase identifying details before pasting.

Can my university or department use these tools?+

Yes โ€” the core tools are free for individual use. For institutional access, custom branding, or compliance review, contact us at hello@mylevelupenglish.com. We are particularly interested in partnerships with universities serving non-native English research communities.
