Elective home education is becoming increasingly popular in the UK, but day to day homeschooling can be challenging for parents and learners.
Tassomai provides a structured, curriculum-based option which lets homeschoolers study independently and gives parents / guardians tools to monitor progress and identify knowledge gaps.
Watch this short video to see how Tassomai works.
Homeschoolers can access Tassomai when and where they want using any online device. Most learners choose to use the Tassomai app.
Exam-board specific quiz content covers the relevant curriculum points in up to 10 GCSE subjects, depending on the learner’s age.
Tassomai’s algorithm works out which topics they need to focus on and guides them through the material - there’s no need to micro-manage their learning!
Mai, our built-in AI-powered tutor is accessible 24/7, assisting learners if they need help, without giving away the answer.
Our intuitive user-interface and gamified learning environment aims to make home education easier and more enjoyable for all.
Tassomai’s content team analyses the exam specification for each subject and turns everything a learner needs to know into quiz questions that teach as well as test.
“He typically starts each day using Tassomai on his iPad to complete goals in all of his subjects. Tassomai has given him a clear foundation and he can go through enough material in an hour or two on the app that would rival what he would learn in a week at school.“
- Kenneth, homeschooling parent
Parents (or even private tutors) can view Tassomai usage data to see what’s been understood and where a learner might need some more help.
Homeschooling parents and guardians can monitor usage and view their child’s learning progress through their own Parent Dashboards.
Keep an eye on Daily and Weekly Goals for each of their subjects.
Control and manage the subjects and topics they need to focus on.
Identify knowledge gaps via the Tree to see where they might need help.
Parents are updated via a weekly email progress report and Tassomai’s algorithm also recommends learning resources for parents and students to review together.

“Tassomai's user-friendly interface and interactive quizzes have made learning fun and interactive for my son. He no longer dreads studying; in fact, he looks forward to it with enthusiasm. The progress tracking and detailed performance reports have been invaluable in keeping tabs on my son's strengths and areas that need improvement.”
- Kenneth, homeschooling parent
“I don’t have to be as involved or concerned because I have complete confidence in the product and know the impact it can have. If she gets it done, we know her grades will be that bit more secure.”
