Taco the hamster, arms raised
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, and he has never once given 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 →

Step 1
Taco's help sheet offering a Give me a clue button
"I can help"Taco waits in the corner of every question. Nothing pops up, nothing interrupts — your child taps only if they want him.
Step 2
Taco giving the first hint about place value
A first clueA nudge toward what to notice — here, what one ten is actually worth. 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.
