FIND THE RIGHT STARTING POINT
Different stages.
Different kinds of support.
A CURRICULUM. MANY WAYS TO UNDERSTAND IT.
Built around the learner.
Never one-size-fits-all.
More pictures when an idea needs to be seen. Audio alongside a clear transcript. Worked reasoning, purposeful questions and a mix that can change as understanding grows.
The right amount of support.
Choose smaller steps or explore a full worked example. Adjust pace and challenge without reducing ambition or talking down to the learner.
Understand what has stuck.
Short checks, explanation questions, later recall and unfamiliar applications can reveal understanding beyond simply completing a task.
Personalisation is a changing teaching mix, not a label. The intended platform will use curriculum context, learner choices, evidence of understanding and teacher guidance to refine the next step. Choosing pictures does not make a child a fixed “visual learner”.
Build a preview learning mix ↗A glimpse of the direction.
Not the full depth of the platform.
This public sandpit shows a few scripted learning moments and fictional journeys. It is intentionally far simpler than the platform we are developing. The complete vision includes richer curriculum coverage, ongoing learner modelling, varied resources and evidence-led adaptation. Those capabilities are not active here, and their quality will need to be validated before launch.
Explore freely. No account, no real child data, no saved progress.
LEARNING THAT SEES THE WHOLE CHILD
More than getting the answer.
Getting the understanding.
Some children need a different explanation. Others need a new challenge. Our vision is support that notices the difference — and makes the next step feel possible.
↗
01 / FIND THEIR STARTING POINTStart where they are.
A gentle check-in explores what they know, without turning a year group into a label.
Why?Aha!
02 / MAKE IT MAKE SENSEA new way to explain.
Thoughtful hints, visual examples and smaller steps help a tricky idea finally click.
↻✦
03 / HELP IT STICKRemember. Apply. Grow.
Fresh challenges and later revisits check understanding beyond a single right answer.
These are the principles guiding Study Buddy’s development. Explore the working example below.
DIFFERENT METHODS. ONE LEARNING GOAL.
More than one way
to understand.
A diagram can make an idea visible. A worked example can make the reasoning clear. Choose an approach that helps with this topic — without putting a learner into a fixed “learning style”.
ILLUSTRATIVE LEARNING EXAMPLE
See the relationship.
Compare two bars: three of four parts and six of eight parts cover the same amount. The picture connects the symbol to its meaning.
¾ = ⁶⁄₈
WHY IT HELPS
Make an abstract relationship visible, then connect it back to the mathematical reasoning.
Explore these approaches in the basic fractions preview. The sandbox lets you combine pictures, audio, worked steps and checks. Browser read-aloud requires an available voice. Full curriculum coverage and ongoing adaptation are still in development.
LESS TELLING. MORE SHOWING.
Same idea.
Their own way in.
Choose an example that sparks their curiosity.
Then try a tiny learning moment for yourself.
INTERACTIVE DEMOEquivalent fractions

Take your time. It’s okay to try.
A scripted example, using no child data or live AI. This demo does not assess mastery.
FOR THE PEOPLE CHEERING THEM ON
You don’t need to be
their teacher.
Just be in their corner.
You want to know what’s clicking, what’s tricky, and how to help. Study Buddy’s parent experience is being designed to turn learning evidence into clear, practical next steps.
- See independent understanding, not just completed tasks.
- Know when a little encouragement could help.
- Celebrate their progress without comparing children.

Better support can
make a real difference.
Research across adaptive software and online human tutoring gives us reasons to be optimistic — and a responsibility to measure what actually helps.
Higher maths scores
In a randomised study of 619 students in Delhi, students offered a Mindspark programme scored 0.37 standard deviations higher in maths after about 4½ months.
Read the J-PAL evaluation ↗Improved maths performance
A randomised online tutoring programme found a 0.20 standard deviation improvement in 2022 with three hours of individual tutoring each week; the 2020 effect was 0.23.
Read Carlana & La Ferrara ↗Participants in a meta-analysis
A review of 107 effect sizes found intelligent tutoring associated with higher achievement than large-group teaching (g = 0.42). It found no significant difference versus individual human tutoring.
Read Ma et al., 2014 ↗What these numbers mean
SD and g describe differences relative to variation in scores; they are not percentage improvements. These studies evaluated other programmes, with different learners and settings. They do not establish Study Buddy’s effectiveness or guarantee your child’s results.
THE PRINCIPLES BEHIND THE METHODS
Good teaching.
Made more visible.
Short extracts from published guidance and research. These sources inform the approach; they are not testimonials or endorsements of Study Buddy.
“Teachers can promote metacognition by modelling their thinking aloud.”
Worked reasoning and reflection help learners understand how to approach a task.
“However, not all feedback has positive effects.”
The purpose is a specific next action, not simply more corrections or praise.
“on the delayed tests, prior testing produced substantially greater retention than studying”
In two prose-learning experiments, retrieving information helped later recall. This does not guarantee the same effect in every context.
TRUST IS SOMETHING YOU BUILD
Ambitious for learning.
Thoughtful about children.
A buddy, not a replacement.
Designed to support the teachers, parents and human relationships children already rely on.
Clarity over cleverness.
Explain the next step, make uncertainty visible, and let adults question a recommendation.
Children before engagement.
No public rankings in this experience. Learning and confidence matter more than chasing streaks.
Our design commitments. Live-service privacy, safeguarding and accessibility details must be confirmed before launch.
GOOD QUESTIONS
A little more clarity.
Can my child use Study Buddy today?
You can try the illustrative learning demo on this page now. The supplied application includes pupil, parent and teacher journeys with synthetic demo data. Hosting and live-service preparation are ongoing; the open sandbox lets you explore synthetic pupil, parent and teacher views without signing in. It does not save learning records or provide live tutoring.
Is this an AI chatbot that gives answers?
The intended experience focuses on teaching, graduated hints and checking understanding. The demo here is scripted. Live AI capabilities and their oversight will need to be verified before release.
Which ages and subjects will it cover?
The project is being developed around curriculum-aligned learning. This page demonstrates fractions. Confirmed age ranges, subjects and curriculum coverage will be published when available.
What about my child’s data?
This landing page asks for no child information. Demo answers are processed in your browser without a backend. Before live use, Study Buddy needs a published privacy notice, access controls and verified safeguarding processes.
How much will it cost?
Pricing and launch dates have not been confirmed. There is no payment or subscription flow on this page.
EVERY “I GET IT” STARTS SOMEWHERE.
Let’s find their
next breakthrough.
A brighter learning experience starts with understanding the child.
