Cristina says: Best investment I made
"Atom has a structured plan in place to allow you to see where your child is compared to where they need to be in order to get in, useful explanations and videos for every topic, it’s been a life saver. Also you have the flexibility to study whenever suits. My kid can’t focus for 2hrs of tuition but can do 20-30 mins stints with breaks in between and can absorb much more like that"
No. Atom is designed so children can use it independently. Clear explanations, helpsheets and videos support them as they work, helping them build knowledge and confidence. You can keep an eye on their progress from your 'Track' page.
Parents tell us this independence makes revision feel calmer and removes pressure from evenings at home.
Atom makes revision feel rewarding. Children earn coins, explore worlds and see their progress grow — which keeps them wanting to come back!
Behind the scenes, Atom also adjusts the level of challenge so work feels achievable but stretching. This helps children stay motivated, without feeling overwhelmed.
