How it works
Leo guides your child through everything — no setup, no complicated dashboards. Just open the app and start striving.
Tell Leo your child's name, target school, and exam board. He tailors everything from the first question.
Every answer feeds Leo's AI. Too easy? He raises the difficulty. Struggling? He explains and encourages. Never the same lesson twice.
Each correct answer earns XP. Level up, explore adventure worlds, defeat bosses — learning that feels like the best game they've played.
The parent dashboard shows exactly what was practised, where your child excels, and where they need support — all in one clear view.
Everything they need
Every feature exists for one reason — to make your child walk into that exam room feeling unstoppable.
Seven worlds to explore. Answer questions to unlock new areas, defeat bosses, and collect rewards. Learning disguised as the most exciting game they've ever played.
Leo watches every answer and adjusts in real time. The question after a wrong answer is always perfectly calibrated — harder to build confidence, easier to restore it.
Original stories narrated by the founder. Word-by-word audio highlighting as you listen. Leo appears to explain phrases. Vocabulary lessons disguised as great stories.
Podcast-style audio lessons that explain exam techniques, tips, and strategies in Leo's voice. Perfect for car journeys or any time a screen isn't practical.
Breathing exercises, mindfulness activities, and wellbeing tools. Because exam anxiety is real, and confidence matters as much as knowledge on exam day.
Weekly progress reports, topic-by-topic breakdown, streak tracking, and exam countdown. Everything a parent needs to stay informed without hovering.
Epic timed challenges against villains at the end of each world. High stakes, high rewards — and a massive confidence boost when they win.
Practise the kind of questions top schools ask in interviews. Builds articulation, confidence, and the ability to think clearly under pressure.
An interactive vocabulary builder that uses spaced repetition. Words stick because children meet them in context, not just on flashcards.
All four subjects
Every topic your child will face on exam day, broken into bite-sized sessions that build real understanding — not just exam technique.
BODMAS, fractions, algebra, geometry, word problems, sequences, and more. All matched to your exam board's syllabus.
Comprehension, grammar, spelling, punctuation, creative writing, and vocabulary — everything tested across all exam boards.
Synonyms, antonyms, analogies, codes, and word patterns. The subject that most children find hardest — Leo makes it the most satisfying to crack.
Shape series, matrices, rotations, reflections, and odd-one-out. Visual pattern recognition built up systematically from first principles.
Meet Leo
Leo isn't just a mascot. He's an AI tutor who knows your child's exact level, adapts to their mood, celebrates every win, and quietly adjusts when they're struggling — without ever making them feel bad about it.
Every topic, every session, every result. Leo builds a complete picture of your child's strengths and gaps.
Leo knows which topics need more work and quietly steers practice toward them — without making it feel like extra homework.
Daily nudges, streak rewards, and milestone celebrations keep children coming back — even on the days they don't feel like it.
Success stories
These aren't made-up reviews. These are the kinds of moments that happen when a child finds a way of learning that actually works for them.
My daughter asks to do her Strive practice before dinner now. Before this app, getting her to open a textbook was a daily argument. She got into her first-choice school.
The stories are genuinely beautiful. My son told me about "the rose garden lady" at dinner — I didn't know he meant a vocabulary lesson. That's the magic of this app.
We'd tried three other 11+ apps. Strive is the first one that actually adapts to where Amara is. She stopped dreading practice and started looking forward to it.
Theo hated maths. He now corrects me on fractions at the breakfast table and asks when he can do his next boss battle. I genuinely didn't think this was possible.
As a tutor I recommend Strive to every family I work with. The way it handles verbal reasoning — particularly the way Leo explains wrong answers — is exceptional.
My son has dyslexia. The audio stories with word highlighting have been a revelation — he can follow along properly for the first time. His comprehension scores have shot up.
