Your academy, with a school's software behind it
The same platform schools run — classes, mastery tracking, an AI tutor, session scheduling and parent reporting — sized for a centre with eight learners in a room rather than eight hundred in a building.
Everything a school gets, minus the two things an academy should not have. We say which two, and why, further down.
Two doors
Your teachers and your learners, sealed from each other
Reports that assemble
From the work, not from a form somebody fills in
No tutor marketplace
We don't put competing tutors in front of your learners

The same allocation ceiling a district gets
A school sells attendance. An academy sells progress a parent can see
That is the harder product. Your learners are already at school all day; the parent is paying you on top, every month, and deciding each term whether it was worth it. So the software has to do two jobs a school's never has to — make the hour itself better, and make the result visible to somebody who was not in the room.
Fill the hour
- Courses and interactive lessons your tutors can assign in a click
- An AI tutor that never gets tired of the same question, at any hour
- A whiteboard, a voice and a transcript in every online session
Prove the term
- Mastery per unit, which is not the same thing as a participation grade
- A portfolio of the actual work, not a summary of it
- Reports assembled from what happened rather than from a form
Keep the family
- See a learner drifting while there is still time to call
- One free login for the parent, with their own portal
- The same story every time somebody asks how it's going
The report you'd rather not write on a Sunday
Mastery per unit, attendance to sessions, what was covered, what is still shaky, and a paragraph your tutor edits before it goes. Assembled from the work the learner already did — not from a form somebody fills in at the end of the month.

Where she is, unit by unit
7 of 8 sessionsA note from Ms. Alvarez
Maya has had a strong term. She is secure on everything up to quadratics and only factorising by grouping still needs time — we're giving it another session before the assessment.
Switch to “What you see”, then edit the note before it sends
Weekly AI report cards to parents work today. The per-term report above — the unit breakdown, the editable note, the parent/tutor view — is what we build with our first academies, and it is on the rollout plan we would agree with you.
The academy edition is the school product, minus two things
Both of them are things we think an academy should not have, so we take them out rather than sell them to you and let you discover the problem.
No Tutora
Tutora is our marketplace of independent human tutors. It does not appear in an academy — we are not going to put a directory of competing tutors in front of learners you recruited. Your tutors are the tutors.
No student marketplace
The resource marketplace is a student-to-student economy with credits and payouts. Academy learners do not get it — which also means there is nothing for you to moderate, and no money moving between your students.
Everything else a school gets, an academy gets: classes, courses, interactive lessons, mastery tracking, the AI tutor, Simply, exams, the whole suite of apps, parent portals, and analytics scoped to a centre your size. See the full school feature set →
Booking, the session, and the notes afterwards
The unit of an academy's business is an hour with a learner in it. All three parts of that hour live in one place.
Sessions
Publish a booking page and stop emailing about times
Families pick a slot themselves — no account needed to book. Run the session in the room or in the browser. Afterwards the recording is transcribed and summarised, and what was covered lands against the learner's record instead of in a tutor's notebook.
- Public booking pages with your own availability rules
- Sessions run in the browser, with a whiteboard
- Transcript and AI summary after every online session
- Recurring cohorts and one-off catch-ups both work
Honest at your size
Analytics that work at n = 8
Most school analytics quietly need a big cohort to say anything. We show what stays true small — mastery per unit per learner, attendance, submission rate, and the exact step three learners got wrong. Where a number would need a bigger group to mean anything, we say so rather than drawing it.
Retention
The families you're about to lose
Learners who have missed two sessions running, whose mastery has been flat for three weeks, or whose submission rate has halved — as a list with a reason, not a churn score with no argument behind it.
For your tutors
The teaching side, and the suite under it
Your tutors get the teacher product: classes, register, gradebook, a marking queue that arrives mostly done, and Teachly — the AI teaching assistant. Plus documents, sheets, slides, chat, mail, meetings and calendar on the same account.
While you can still call them
Three signals, each with the reason attached. Built from things the platform already knows, so nobody has to remember to log anything.
Lina Fahad— Two sessions missed in a row
Both Tuesdays. Mastery has dropped 9 points over the same fortnight, and her last submission was week 6.
Noor Aziz— Mastery flat for three weeks
Attending, submitting, and not moving — which usually means the sessions are pitched slightly past where she is.
Jacob Reyes— Submission rate halved
From 8 of 8 down to 3 of 7 since the timetable moved to 18:30.
It is a watchlist, not a CRM. Invoicing and payments stay wherever you keep them today.
Two kinds of people. Two sealed doors
An academy has exactly two kinds of user, and each signs in through the portal that belongs to them.
Your teachers
Tutors and instructors sign in through the Teacher Portal and get the teaching side: their classes, the register, the gradebook, the marking queue, and Teachly.
Your academy learners
Learners sign in through the Student Portal and get the student experience: their classes, courses, mastery and the AI tutor. Quiet, warm, and free of dashboards — with Tutora and the marketplace simply not there.
One person, one account, one role, one door. Nobody switches hats mid-session, and a wrong door is refused without telling anyone which door was right. Accounts are provisioned by you rather than self-registered, so nobody arrives in your academy that you did not put there — setting up your team and your first cohort takes a couple of minutes.
A small centre, on institution-grade capacity
Your plan includes up to 100 TB of cloud storage and up to 20 billion AI tokens a month — the same ceiling a multi-school district can choose. Most academies use a fraction of it. The point is that you never have to tell a tutor not to record a lesson.
up to 100 TB
of cloud storage
Session recordings, worksheets, learner work and every report you have ever sent — kept, searchable, and not deleted to make room. No tutor or learner account carries a personal cap.
up to 20 billion
AI tokens a month
The AI tutor for every learner, Teachly for every tutor, session summaries and the first draft of every parent report.
Both are contracted allowances agreed during scoping, not metered counters. Price is set with you on the call, from the number of tutors and learners you actually have.
From a call to your first parent report
A call about your centre
How many tutors, how many learners, which subjects, and how you currently tell parents how it's going. Thirty minutes.
Your team and your cohorts
You provision your tutors and your learners — two doors, no self-signup — and set up your first classes. It takes a couple of minutes per person, once.
Your first parent report
After a few sessions there is enough to say something true. The report assembles itself from the work; your tutor edits the paragraph and sends it.
The questions academies actually ask
One tutor and six learners is a real academy. Nothing here has a minimum seat count, and the analytics are built to stay honest at that size rather than to need a cohort of four hundred before they say anything.

Thirty minutes on your centre — how you run sessions now, and what the reporting would look like by half term.
