Smart Practice

Questions that adapt to your child

Questions are chosen for the topics your child gets wrong, and get harder as they improve. Every answer is marked straight away with the working shown. When they're stuck, a tutor gives a hint rather than the answer.

  • More questions on the topics they find hardest
  • The working shown for every question
  • A hint when they're stuck, not the answer
Practice question answered correctly with instant feedback and a coin reward
AI writing evaluation with score bars and personalised feedback
Writing Evaluation

AI feedback on every piece of writing

Your child writes to a test-style prompt against the clock, then gets marked on the spot: a score for each of six criteria and specific things to fix next time.

  • Scored on content, structure, vocabulary and mechanics
  • Specific fixes for each area, not general praise
  • Timed prompts that match the real test format
Parent Dashboard

Know exactly where they stand

No more guessing. See your child's streaks, weekly activity, overall progress, and mastery across every topic — all in one place.

  • Daily streaks to build consistent habits
  • Per-topic mastery across all subjects
  • Weekly activity and improvement trends

Built for kids

Practice they'll come back to

Right answers earn coins. Coins buy a character to dress up and a few minutes of a game. The work itself is laid out as one path from the first lesson to test day, so there is always a clear next step and sessions end while they're still keen.

  • Coins for correct answers, spent on games and a character of their own
  • One path from first lesson to test day, with a single Continue button
  • Ten-question sessions that finish before attention does

Simple, affordable pricing

Less than the cost of one tutoring session — for a whole year of practice
