What I built

Tools you can try.

Nine tools, built because I needed them, then kept using them. Every one runs in your browser on invented data — no real child, family or school appears in any of it.

Featured demos

School platform

Primary Learning Platform

Everything one primary year group needs in a single place: the week's planning, the class list, assessment, reading levels, a fifteen-week reading-intervention programme, portfolios and reports — with their own views for children and for families.

Built because the same information was living in a dozen spreadsheets and nobody held the whole picture. Teachers stop copying data between systems, children can see their own progress, and families know how their child is doing long before a report lands.

Decodable Passage Studio

Phonics stories a child can genuinely read alone. You pick the year group and the week of your scope and sequence, and every single word is checked against the letter-sounds taught so far.

Made for teachers losing evenings hunting for decodable texts that matched the week they were on. A child never meets a spelling pattern nobody has taught them, so reading builds confidence instead of guesswork.

Reading · ages 3–11

Phonics Path

Learning to read English, for children aged three to eleven who are meeting it as an additional language. Sixteen stages, from hearing rhyme through to blending letter patterns, in the order reading research puts them.

Built for children handed English words before they could hear the sounds inside them. A short check finds where a child really is, the path moves on only when they are ready, and everything can be read aloud.

Study Companion

A study workspace for a postgraduate reader: one module at a time, many sources drawn together into a single argument, and flashcards that return on a schedule matched to how memory actually fades. I built it for my own master's and studied curriculum with it.

Built for an ADHD reader — one thing on screen, with the brief, the word count and the marking criteria always in view, because losing the thread means starting over. Useful to anyone who has opened twelve tabs to write one paragraph.

Classroom tool

Weekly Lesson Planner

A week's teaching laid out the way teachers actually think about it — blocks you drag into place, each carrying its objective and timed activities, over a timetable you set once and reuse.

Built because planning a week shouldn't mean fighting a template or facing a blank page. Paste the rough notes from your head and they come back as lessons you can move around.

Maths · ages 9–13

Math Tutor

A maths tutor for nine- to thirteen-year-olds. A short adaptive check finds what a child has genuinely understood, turns it into an ordered path, and works through it one question at a time — asking before telling.

Built because “weak at fractions” isn't something a parent can act on. It names the actual mistake — adding the denominators, say — and keeps at it until it is gone, spacing the practice out so it stays gone.

Writing · shipped product

WriteIB — The Diploma Architect

A writing tool for IB Diploma students. It breaks an Extended Essay or Internal Assessment into sections with word budgets, and keeps the examiner's criteria beside the draft rather than in another tab.

It began as a way to help neurodivergent students start writing at all — the hard part is holding a whole task in your head, so this holds it for you. Students stop guessing what top marks look like. This one is a product I ship.

Coordination

Team Manager

Calendar, tasks and people for a small team, with one trick at its heart: paste the notes from a meeting and it pulls out the dates and the jobs, and works out who was asked to do each one.

Built because what a team agrees in a meeting rarely survives the walk back to the classroom. Everything decided becomes something dated and owned, so nothing quietly lands on whoever happens to remember it.

Open demo
Family

Family Chore Board

A screen by the front door where children sign in with a PIN or three pictures and tap what they have done. Points build toward something they chose for themselves.

Built to end the weekly argument about who did what. Every point traces back to a job, so a mistake can be undone without unpicking the week — and the household jobs rotate on their own each Sunday.
