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.

FAQ
The short answer is that Tassomai will give amazing value for money if you implement it well: getting students participating daily, and getting teachers using Group Quiz and others of our powerful T&L tools. But you can also save a lot of money if you share Tassomai with other departments and add on some of our Equity Boost features - so please discuss with colleagues in other departments and talk to our team about getting the most out of this amazing software.ext goes here
Almost certainly: our courses are written and maintained to correspond to the requirements, structure and nomenclature of all the main exam boards; even within boards, our courses tailor to the different tiers and sub-categories so no student is made to practice material that isn’t relevant to their needs.
We’d like to think so! We build your network of classes, content and teachers bespoke for you (but quickly!), and then connect to your MIS to assign students to their correct classes. Generally we can have you set up within a couple of days, and students can get going on day one. Any time things change (e.g. students moving classes) we can re-sync with your MIS, and we’re always on hand to help with any snags.
Tassomai’s team pride themselves on being the best in the market for support, training, ‘contactability’ etc - we’ll bend over backwards to help you, especially if your staff keep in touch with us. We happily provide unlimited support on implementation, data analysis, custom reporting and school visits if needed (in fact, your students even win the rare Murr-Aye-Aye lemur sticker if Murray comes to visit the school.
Yes - this is a vital consideration. Tassomai automatically differentiates content for each student according to their level and needs, but staff can filter out topics that are not yet required (at a class level or for whole year-groups). Beyond this our Class Tasks feature allows staff to override the personalised algorithm and direct students to a chosen topic quiz for homework.
Yes, of course. We provide free trials of the complete version for a single department or an entire school so you can see the classroom engagement and workload impact first hand.
All three Boosts are offered as separate add-on modules, but for schools that subscribe to multi-subject and multi-cohort packages, the Boosts can become available at no extra charge.
