Meet the coach

This is Taco. The whole app is named after him.

Every child gets stuck. What happens in that moment decides whether they learn something or quietly give up — so we built a coach for it. Taco sits on every one of the 12,000+ questions in the app, he shows up in every lesson to help with the tricky bits, and he never gives away an answer.

He nudges. He doesn't tell. A child who is stuck gets a way in, tries again themselves, and gets the credit — while you get an honest record of how often the help was needed.

Stuck on a question? Taco helps one small step at a time.

Your child chooses how much help to take. Each step gives a little more — and the answer is never one of them. Two more steps follow if they are still stuck: a second hint naming the method, then a worked example on a different question. See all four in the parent guide →

A maths question with Taco's button in the top corner next to the working-out notepad button — **Taco in the corner**Taco waits at the top of every question. Nothing pops up, nothing interrupts — your child taps him only if they want help.

Taco's Hint: let's look at the first step, line up the decimal points, with an I need another hint button — **A first hint**A nudge toward what to do first — here, lining up the decimal points. Enough to get moving, not enough to skip the thinking.

🤫Never the answerEvery hint is checked automatically against the correct answer before it ships. If a hint gives the game away, it doesn't ship.

⏱️Silent in mock testsTaco is switched off in every timed mock, so the scores you use to judge readiness are honestly your child's own.

⭐️Rewards going it aloneAnswering correctly without opening Taco earns a bonus. Beating a question they previously got wrong pays full marks too.

Taco's Corner: a reason to come back tomorrow

Taco has his own tab. He lives in his own cage there, and your child fills it: 51 things to earn with XP, from bowls and bottles to houses, wheels and themed sets. Tap them and Taco uses them. Every answer earns XP, and the next upgrade shows exactly how much is still to go, so a few questions today is always progress towards something.

Parent Mode counts every hint, and separates what your child can do alone from what they manage after a nudge — the gap is your revision list. You choose how much help exists at all: everything, one clue only, or none. See it in the parent guide →
