What's covered

What your child can use, how it compares with group tutoring, and how your family's account is kept private.

Subjects and years

Years 3 to 8, maths and English.

Every lesson is placed in the NZ year that teaches it. Anything we haven't checked against the New Zealand Curriculum yet shows as Coming soon, and never turns up in the plan.

  • Maths

    Years 3 to 8

    A lesson for every topic in the year's plan, from number and algebra to measurement, geometry and statistics. Each has a topic quiz and five levels of practice, from easy to super hard.

  • English

    Years 3 to 8

    Reading, spelling, grammar and punctuation lessons for each year, with the same quizzes and practice levels.

  • Reading lessons

    Years 3 to 8

    Short passages, fiction and non-fiction, with questions on meaning and the writer's choices. Read aloud for younger readers.

  • Writing feedback

    Years 3 to 8

    Narrative and persuasive tasks, with feedback on ideas, structure, sentences, punctuation and spelling, and one thing to fix next.

Lessons use New Zealand money, places and spelling. Questions about Australian topics are swapped or left out for NZ families.

Why not group tutoring?

Built for one child, not a room of twelve.
