What we’ve built.

Most maths platforms drill what a learner got wrong. We find the earlier gap that’s causing it.

01 The gap-mapping engine

Find the real gap.

The topic a learner is stuck on is rarely where the gap is. Our engine traces back to the real gap and fills it first.

A knowledge-gap mapping engine. GCSE Maths is a web of connected concepts, each one resting on those below it. We map every learner precisely onto that web — concept by concept — so when a learner gets stuck, we can tell the difference between a topic they haven’t met yet, one they’re actively struggling with, and one whose root cause sits several steps upstream.

02 STEMeUp AI Tutor

Fill the gaps in the right order.

Finding one gap is just the start. The tutor fills the earliest gaps first, and each concept a learner masters opens up the ones that build on it, until they reach their goal.

    Foundations first

    The earliest gaps fill before anything new.

  3. Year 10–11

    Building up

    Each mastered concept unlocks the ones built on it.

The November cohort Close to a grade 4, sitting in November.

  1. September

    The gap map

    The map shows the few topics between each student and a 4.

  2. September–October

    Only those topics

    The weeks before November go on those topics, and nothing else.

  3. October

    A check before the paper

    A quick check for the whole class, and a different one for each student.

  4. November

    Grade 4+ achieved ✓

    Sat in November. The grade arrives in January.

The May cohort A longer road, sitting in May.

  1. September

    The gap map

    The same gap map. More gaps, and earlier ones.

  2. October–December

    Foundations first

    The earliest gaps fill before new topics.

  3. January–April

    Building up

    Each mastered concept unlocks the ones built on it.

  4. May

    Grade 4+ achieved ✓

    Sat in May and June. The grade arrives in August.

Already secure Gap Mastered with STEMeUp

A deliberately constrained AI maths tutor. It uses scaffolding and tailored support. Whether the exam is three years away or three months, the tutor adjusts mode and difficulty to the learner — teaching a concept, asking the learner to teach it back, or offering an easy win when the right move is to rebuild confidence before pushing on. Every mathematical output is checked for accuracy before it reaches a learner.

03 The progress hub

Show the progress to everyone around the learner.

An up-to-date picture of each learner’s engagement, time on task, progress, and gaps — written in language that drops straight into PEP meetings, statutory reporting, department reviews and Ofsted evidence. Only three clicks away from an individual or cohort-level report. No setup, no extra admin. It’s a resource to use if and when you need it.
