Jess: A Web-Based Teaching Assistant for Lasting Learning

Jess is a web-based teaching assistant designed to help teachers achieve what they aim for: deep, lasting understanding.

While most teachers want their students to go beyond memorising facts, the time pressure and heavy content demands of the GCSE course often get in the way. Jess helps bridge that gap.

It delivers expert-written, bite-sized lessons that encourage deeper thinking and cognitive engagement. This approach not only builds understanding but also strengthens memory.

After each lesson, students receive personalised, spaced retrieval quizzes that automatically reinforce what they’ve learned.

By using Jess, teachers can ensure their students complete the course with a solid grasp of computer science (and other subjects), ready not just for exams but for A-levels and beyond.

Teepee.ai: Smarter Exam Practice with Instant Feedback

Teepee.ai is an AI-powered tool that helps teachers give students more exam-style practice, without the marking workload.

With just a few clicks, teachers can generate questions across topics. Students get instant AI marking and personalised feedback, helping them understand mistakes and improve faster.

Teepee turns every practice into a learning moment, so students build exam confidence and skills that last, while teachers get time back to focus on what matters most.

MemoryMagic: Science Revision That Sticks

MemoryMagic is a free app designed to help GCSE students retain what they’ve learned in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. It uses automated, personalised spaced retrieval to make revision both effective and manageable.

Students complete short quizzes each day, helping them build strong long-term memory without needing to cram. The app is designed to engage all types of learners through a simple, gamified experience that encourages daily use.

MemoryMagic works independently, requiring no setup from teachers. It’s ideal for building revision habits early in Year 10 and ensuring key knowledge is still there when exams arrive.
