About Auruby
Auruby is a YKI keskitaso prep app — vocabulary, reading, listening, writing, and speaking practice in one place, structured around the real exam and assessed by AI. It's launching in summer 2026.
Who's behind it
Auruby is built by Anna Akimova, a CELTA-certified language teacher with 8 years of tutoring experience. The idea came from a simple gap: people preparing for the YKI keskitaso exam juggle a flashcard app, random Finnish texts, a listening podcast, a document for writing, and a paid tutor for speaking — five tools, none of them built around the actual exam.
Anna is also sitting the YKI keskitaso exam herself in 2026. So the app isn't built from the outside looking in — the topics, the task formats, and the feedback come from teaching the language for years and preparing for this specific exam at the same time.
What we care about
Content that reflects how the exam actually works, not generic drills. AI feedback that's checkable — it points to the exact error, names the grammar rule, and shows you a corrected version, rather than a vague "try again." And honesty about what an app can and can't do: no app replaces real practice with real feedback, so Auruby is built to be that practice.
