How it works

One lesson, start to finish.

Here’s exactly what happens between pressing play and a mark landing on your dashboard.

01 — Watch

A lesson built around one idea

No 40-minute lecture recordings. Each video covers a single examinable concept in 5–12 minutes, delivered by a subject specialist, with the exact wording the exam board uses.

02 — Checkpoint

The video stops and asks

At a set moment, playback pauses and a question appears — multiple choice, code trace, SQL query, logic circuit, or a short written answer, depending on the topic. Get it right and the lesson continues. Get it wrong and it rewinds to the exact point that needs another look, rather than making your child re-watch the whole thing.

03 — Mark

Graded the way an examiner would

Objective questions are marked instantly. Written answers are checked against the exam board's own mark scheme criteria, so feedback explains where credit was and wasn't earned — not just a red cross.

04 — Report

What you see, as a parent

Your account shows completed modules and scores for every subject and every child, updated the moment a checkpoint is finished. No separate login for each subject, no waiting for a term-end report.

Who’s it for?

Students in Years 10 and 11 preparing for AQA GCSE Computer Science — whether they’re consolidating a grade 4 or pushing from a 7 to a 9.

Is the content curated?

Every lesson and mark scheme is written against the published exam board specification — no crowd-sourced or AI-generated question banks.
