GlowGrades is where a child learns with a real teacher — and where the grown-ups can actually see it happening. ONE APP, THREE WAYS IN Sign in as a student, a teacher, or a family. The app opens the right world for whoever is holding the device. FOR STUDENTS • A map of what you know, and what comes next • Daily practice that adjusts to how you are doing • Live one-to-one classes with your teacher — video, a shared whiteboard, and quizzes you answer together • Homework from your teacher, in one place • Your progress, in your own words FOR TEACHERS • Your classes for today, and one tap to start • Every student's progress, topic by topic • A shared whiteboard and live quizzes during class • Schedule single classes or a repeating series • Your earnings, and what is ready to withdraw FOR FAMILIES • What your child covered in every class • Their progress across every subject • Class summaries written after each lesson • Message your child's teacher directly • Approve a price before any class is booked BUILT FOR SCHOOL-AGE LEARNERS Every question a child sees has been checked by independent verifiers that must agree before it is ever shown. Practice is organised by age band and skill, so a child works on what is actually next for them rather than a generic year group. MADE WITH PARENTS IN THE LOOP A parent's email address is required when a student account is created, and we send a one-time notice explaining what we store and how to remove it. No advertising trackers. No third-party analytics in this app. Ever. Classes are one-to-one between a family and a teacher they choose. Teachers are reviewed before they appear publicly.
