Teachers have detailed oversight on their students’ activity and the ability to set homework and manage settings and topics through their Teacher Dashboards.
The Understanding Grid, a self-populating Personal Learning Checklist, uses the same data set as The Tree. At a glance, teachers can spot knowledge gaps at an individual or whole class level, saving valuable teaching time and enabling them to rapidly target interventions.
Parents and guardians get a weekly email report and access to their own Parent Dashboard where they can follow their child’s progress and view their Trees.
The Parent Dashboard shows how many Daily Goals have been completed and in which subjects. Parents can also view learning resources (videos or articles) recommended specifically for their child to aid progress.

We are grateful to the educators who helped us with the development of the computer science course, providing input into content and course structure, here are some of their comments:
"A great way to tailor the learning and retrieval for students as it is designed to adapt to the students needs and also push them onto that next level."
"A computer science app where actual teachers have had an input! Shaping the questions, keeping it up to date and making sure it is fit for purpose."
"Such an easy tool to navigate for students and teachers. With instant feedback and a tree of growth to show progression."
"Great tool for homework and recall, leaving more time in the classroom for content delivery."
"Gives students a sense of ownership as the more they do the better the reward"
We would also like to thank the computer science teachers and students who trialled the new material over the course of the 22/23 Autumn term.
We’re so confident of Tassomai’s impact, we offer a GCSE computer science grade guarantee to schools and private subscribing families.

Holly Billinghurst, private tutor at TeachAllAboutIt, former Computer Science teacher and textbook author, talks to Tassomai about what parents need to know about the Computer Science GCSE and how they can support their child with the subject (even if technology isn’t their own strong suit…)
This Pride month we are spotlighting the LGBTQ+ figures that have inspired our team! While students are sitting their maths and computer science GCSEs over the next few weeks, it has got us thinking about some of the inspirational figures that lead the way in these fields.
