Insights Into Student Learning

Tutors should not have to guess what their students understand. SmartSelf gives tutors a clearer view of each student’s learning journey, using real activity, performance, and progress data to show where students are improving and where they need more support. klm

The Problem

Many tutors only see what happens during lessons. This makes it difficult to know what students are doing between sessions, which topics they are struggling with, how much revision they are completing, or when they are starting to lose momentum. For tutors managing large numbers of students, keeping track of all this information manually can be especially challenging.

Without clear data, tutors often have to rely on guesswork.

The Solution

SmartSelf gives tutors intelligent insights into student learning, powered by cutting-edge technologies such as FSRS, DKT, and IRT.

This means tutors can go beyond basic activity tracking and understand deeper learning signals such as memory retention, topic mastery, question difficulty, performance patterns, and how each student’s understanding changes over time. These insights are then presented through an easy-to-use dashboard, making it simple for tutors to access and act on them.

How It Works

Tutors log into their SmartSelf dashboard and select the student they want to review. From the student's profile, they can see activity, time spent learning, completed topics, AI support usage, quiz performance, revision progress, learning gaps, and each student's strengths and weaknesses all in one place.

To go even further, the Ask AI section allows tutors an even deeper insight into their students’ progress. After selecting a child they want to review, tutors can ask questions about that learner and receive useful insights based on their activity, performance, and learning history.

From there, tutors can create:

• Targeted worksheets

• Revision sheets

• Learning materials

• Student reports

• Personalised support plans

Everything is tailored to the student's needs, making it quicker and easier to support them beyond lessons.

Why It Matters

SmartSelf helps tutors spot patterns much faster. If a student is struggling with a topic, improving in a subject, forgetting key knowledge, or losing momentum, the tutor can see it clearly and respond with the right support.

Lessons become more focused, revision becomes more targeted, and students receive help in the areas that matter most. Check out the benefits below:
