Personalised learning

Teach the whole class. Cater to every student in it.

Catering the learning to each student was never realistic in the hours a teacher has. Zippy makes it possible: your marking shows what each one is weak at, and the practice that follows is written for them.

How personalisation works

Every class you grade, analysed student by student.

Mark the set you were marking anyway. Zippy ties the feedback to what each student actually wrote, tracks the skills each one is weak at, drafts the practice that closes those gaps, and gives every student their own view of it.

Skills-specific feedback

Marked against skills, not just a number.

Every piece is scored per criterion and per skill, with the comment tied to the sentence that earned it. A student learns what to change, and you learn what to teach.

Each skill scored and banded, with the evidence quoted from the student's own writing
Track every student's progress

Know what to teach each student next.

Every piece adds to a skill-by-skill record of what a student can and cannot do yet. Two students on the same mark rarely need the same lesson, and this is where you see which one needs what.

Practice that fits the gap

Differentiated learning, at its best.

Zippy drafts a lesson or worksheet aimed at the skills the marking found, for one student or for everyone who needs it. You read it, change what you want, and send it out. It comes back marked against those same skills, so you can see whether the gap actually closed.

Student portal

Students see their skills, not just a mark.

Every student gets their own view: their work, their feedback, their progress against the same skills you see, and the task you have set them next. A mark tells a child how they did. This tells them what to do about it.

Hints, never the answer

AI teacher

Every class gets its own AI teacher.

When a student is stuck and you are not there, they can ask. It replies with a hint or a question, never the answer, so the work stays theirs.

Guides, never gives the answer

It guides, it does not answer.

A hint is usually enough to get a student moving again, so that is all it gives.

  • It understands the context the student is working on, so nobody has to explain their homework to it first
  • Starter prompts keep it useful: give me a hint, check my grammar, explain the question
  • You configure the AI teacher: its name, its voice and how it talks to your class
  • It never marks. Marks come from your rubric and your approval, not from a chat

Working on: Punctuating dialogue · question 3
I don't know where the full stop goes here. Read your sentence aloud. Where does Rachel stop speaking? After “bench”. Good. So the punctuation belongs before the closing speech mark. Try it, and I'll check.
