Students and parents give top marks to educational website

Tassomai, an online education tool that lets students study on their phones and sends parents weekly updates on their child’s progress, is a finalist at this year’s BETT Awards. Described by parents as “the perfect preparation for GCSEs”, and with some students saying they’d “rather do Tassomai than FIFA”, this quiz based learning program is boosting grades and providing peace of mind for parents.

Users love the simplicity and effectiveness of the product; students login each day, take a few short multiple choice quizzes, and the program identifies their strengths and weaknesses, adapting the quizzes accordingly. Parents login to see how often their child is using the program, and they receive a weekly email with a summary of progress.

As well as being popular with private subscribers, Tassomai is also being used in the classroom with over 300 schools using the program to support GCSE science teaching. Completing the course has been shown to have a big impact on grades, with 50% of regular Tassomai users getting A or A-star grades, compared to the national average of 21%.
