How it works
How Jenner Learning works
The same calm method on every course: one skill at a time, the working shown, and a clear view for you.
Three ideas behind every course
Every question teaches the method
Each question has worked steps that use its own numbers, so a slip shows how to get there next time.
Practice adapts
Three right in a row and the questions step up. Two wrong and practice eases off and shows the worked answer first.
You see what to work on next
A parent view in plain words, so you know what's going well and where the next session should go.
The 11+ and GCSE Maths, side by side
One family account holds both. Here is where they differ.
| 11+ | GCSE Maths | |
|---|---|---|
| Who practises | Your child, in child mode inside your account. Your PIN takes you back to the parent area. | Your teenager, on their own phone or laptop, with their own PIN. No student email is needed. |
| How they answer | They choose from the options, as in the test. | They type most answers, as in the exam. Where typing doesn't suit the question, they choose from options. |
| Levels | Levels 1 to 5, set by the course. | GCSE grades 1 to 9, Foundation or Higher. |
| Exam practice | Ten two-paper mock exams on booked weekends, paid for separately. | 6 practice papers for each tier (12 in all) with mark schemes, sat online with a timer, or printed (up to 4 downloads a family each calendar month). Included in the plan. |
| What you see | Every skill as secure, developing or needs work, a focus for the week, and your child's own notes. | Marks, topics, time spent and about the grade they're working at, shown as an estimate. Never their typed answers. |
A week on the 11+
Practice
Your child works through short sets of questions, weakest skill first. Three right in a row and the questions step up. Two wrong and they see a worked answer, then an easier question.
Example practice question: a level 3 maths question on fractions of amounts, with answer C, 9 stickers, chosen and ready to check. Lesson
Every one of the 168 skills has a lesson of 3 to 6 minutes, with worked examples, common mistakes and three tries.
Example lesson: finding a fraction of an amount. The method is to divide by the bottom number, then multiply by the top. A worked example shows 3/8 of 24 is 9, then the child has three tries of their own. Mistake review
Questions your child got wrong come back later, so a mistake is something to fix and not something to forget.
Example mistake review. A maths question, what is 15% of 60, answered 6. The right answer is 9, with the worked steps and a button to try a similar question. Below it, one earlier mistake is marked fixed and one is still to try again. Parent view
You see every skill from secure to needs work, with a focus for the week and your child's own notes on how they worked each answer out.
Example parent view for a Year 5 child. Letter codes 84, Secure. Fractions of amounts 68, Developing. Cube nets 58, Developing. Hidden words 38, Needs work. Focus this week: hidden words and cube nets. Weekly email
On Sunday you get a short summary of the week: what moved, what needs work and what to try next.
Example Sunday email to a parent. Ava's week: 4 sessions, 86 questions and 2 lessons. Ratio moved up from 52 to 71. Hidden words, at 38, needs work, so next week's focus is hidden words, starting with its lesson.
If your child is in Year 3
Sessions last 10 minutes and end calmly, with no timer. Questions are short, in bigger text, and a read-aloud button can read them out using your device's own voice, on most tablets and computers. Your child fills a sticker book by finishing sessions, and nothing is lost for missing a day. You see each skill as Secure or Building, the next skill to work on and one 10-minute activity to do together. There are no scores or mock exams in Year 3. Read our guide to Year 3.
Child safety and privacy
Built to keep children's data to a minimum
Children practise inside the parent's account. We collect only what we need to run it.
- No login for 11+ children: they practise in child mode, and your PIN takes you back to the parent area. GCSE students have their own sign-in on a device you link, with a PIN they choose and no email address.
- We never ask for your child's email address or surname.
- No tracking in the child area, and no public profiles.
- Your children's progress is deleted automatically 12 months after your plan ends. See the privacy notice for everything else.
