How to use Tassomai’s parent report emails to support your child

Ask a teenager “How was your day?” or “Have you done your revision?” and the answer is usually short. Parents want to support their child through KS3 and GCSEs, but the line between helpful encouragement and nagging can be hard to find.

School reports arrive only a few times a year, and often too late to catch gaps as they appear.

That’s why Tassomai sends parents a weekly progress report by email. Knowing how to read it helps you celebrate consistency, spot problems early and support your child without the evening arguments.

• The weekly progress report arrives every Monday and takes about a minute to read.
• It shows days active, questions answered, accuracy and your child’s strongest and weakest topics of the week.
• Praise consistency first: hard topics often mean lower accuracy, and that’s part of learning.
• Use the weakest topic to start a calm conversation, not a test.
• One click takes you to the Parent Dashboard, where you can see the Tree for each subject.

The report is designed to give you a clear picture of your child’s week in about a minute, without jargon. It covers three things.

The headline numbers show how many days your child used Tassomai and how many questions they answered. Short, regular practice builds much stronger memory than long sessions crammed into Sunday evening, so the number of active days is often the most useful figure to watch.

You’ll see your child’s overall accuracy, plus their top topic and weakest topic of the week, each with its own accuracy score. This shows you at a glance where they’re confident and where they’re finding things harder.

The report includes a picture of your child’s Tree, which grows as they answer questions. Click through to the Parent Dashboard to explore the Tree for each subject, see how many Daily Goals have been completed and find learning resources recommended for your child.

How you talk about learning data with a teenager affects their motivation and confidence.

When you see low accuracy or a quiet week, it’s natural to want to tell them off. But mistakes are a normal and necessary part of learning, and Tassomai deliberately brings back the questions your child finds hard.

Moving the conversation from compliance to curiosity helps your child see home study as a manageable routine rather than a source of conflict.

Focus your praise on active days and completed Daily Goals rather than accuracy alone. A student who completes their Daily Goal while working on difficult, unfamiliar material is working harder than one breezing through familiar questions, and their accuracy will often be lower.

If the report shows your child struggling with a topic, such as organic chemistry or quadratic equations, don’t test them on the spot. Ask an open question instead: “The report says organic chemistry was tricky this week. Have you tried Mai Explains, or shall we ask your teacher about it?”

Consistency comes from routine, not willpower. Use the report to help your child find their best study window, whether that’s straight after school, before dinner or first thing in the morning. Our guide to building a 10-minute daily study routine has more ideas.

Tassomai works as a partnership between students, schools and families. Teachers use the Teacher Dashboard to see class data and plan interventions, while the weekly report and Parent Dashboard help families support the same learning at home.

• School parents. If your child uses Tassomai through school, the weekly report usually goes to the primary parent or carer on the school’s records. Find out more on our page for school parents.
• Private subscribers. Families who subscribe directly get a weekly progress report too. You can see it for yourself with a 7-day free trial.
• No password needed. Each email has a button that takes you straight to your Parent Dashboard. You can set a password there if you’d like to log in from our website or the Tassomai app.
