Every child.
The right next question.

Horace is a friendly owl who listens to every answer. Get it right and the next one is a little harder. Get it wrong and Horace explains exactly why, shows worked examples, and practises with you until it clicks.

Nearly! Let's learn this together.
What happened

You found 1/4 of 20, but we need 3 of those quarters.

How to work it out
  1. 20 ÷ 4 = 5 (one quarter)
  2. 3 quarters: 5 × 3 = 15
Practice 1 of 2: try one like the example

The Horace loop

Not just right or wrong. Every question moves your child forward.

1

Answer

Questions pitched just right: hard enough to stretch, easy enough to succeed about three times in four.

2

Understand

Wrong? Horace explains what probably went wrong and how to work it out, in words a child of their level understands.

3

Practise

Two worked examples, then a couple to try. Your child gets it right, several times, before moving on.

4

Master

Three in a row with new numbers and the next set gets harder. Spaced review brings it back so it sticks.

Why it works better

Most homework apps hand every child the same exercises and mark them right or wrong. Horace teaches.

Names never leave Horace

Children's names and personal details are never sent to the AI.

Every AI question double-checked

A second AI independently solves each question and checks it stays within the curriculum. If they disagree, it is thrown away.

Questions

Horace is free during early access. We are letting families and schools in gradually so every learner gets a great experience.

Primary school: Years 1 to 6 (ages 5 to 11), covering maths, reading, grammar and punctuation, and spelling. Year 6 pupils get SATs-style practice.

Yes. You can set the year they are working at for maths and English separately, and choose a pace. Horace then pitches questions, explanations and examples at that level and adapts from there.

Every AI-written question is answered independently by a second AI before a child sees it, and checked against the curriculum objective and year. Arithmetic and times tables questions are generated by Horace itself, so they are always correct. Children can also flag anything that looks wrong.

Horace follows the DfE National Curriculum for England. You can tell it the school's maths scheme (for example White Rose Maths) and the current topic, and it uses familiar models and vocabulary.

Rounds are short (around 10 questions) and you set a daily goal. Horace rewards effort and progress, not endless play.
