You don’t need to know the syllabus. You need to know what to ask.
Know what’s clicking. Know what’s not. Know how to help. StudyBuddy turns your child’s revision into one short weekly note, and gives them a plan that fits how they actually learn.
The honest version of what Year 10 and 11 feel like at home.
“Have you done any revision?”
You ask because you can’t see. They bristle because it sounds like an accusation. StudyBuddy makes progress visible, so the question doesn’t need asking.
“I did revise. I just forgot.”
They probably did. Re-reading and highlighting feel like work and barely stick. Retrieval and spacing do. StudyBuddy only uses what works.
“I don’t know where to start.”
Neither did most of us. A plan built from their exact papers removes the hardest step: deciding.
Forty seconds. Everything you need.
Three secure topics. One to revisit. One conversation starter. The research is clear that at secondary age the most helpful thing parents can do is support independent study rather than sit alongside doing the work. The note is designed for exactly that.
Everything in one subscription.
Every subject, every paper
GCSE Maths, English Language and Literature, Combined and Triple Science across AQA, Edexcel and OCR, plus KS3 Maths, English and Science. Subjects and exam boards.
A plan that adapts
Sessions change as your child does. Secure topics step back. Shaky topics return. Exam week looks different from October half term.
Accessibility, included
Dyslexia-friendly fonts, read-aloud, coloured overlays and extra time. No add-on, no diagnosis required. How it works.
Safe by design
No ads, no social features, no data sold, no AI pretending to be a person. Built to the ICO Children’s code. Our approach to safety.
Questions parents ask us
Is this a replacement for a tutor?
For some families it will be; private tuition in the UK now costs around £2bn a year and most families can’t access it. For others it sits alongside a tutor or school support. StudyBuddy is a buddy, not a replacement, and we say so.
How much screen time is this?
A good session is 15 to 25 minutes. StudyBuddy actively ends sessions rather than extending them, and never uses streaks or notifications to pull children back in.
Will it do my child’s homework?
No. Hints are progressive and answers only appear after a genuine attempt. It is built for revision, not for completing work.
What do you do with my child’s data?
Only what’s needed to run the service. No advertising, no selling, no profiling beyond the learning profile you can read. Our privacy notice is written for parents, and we have a safeguarding policy.
Can I cancel?
Yes, in two taps from your account, any time. If you cancel in the free week you pay nothing.
