One school day, one system.

The register, the homework, the marks and the money all go into the same place, so nobody types the same pupil twice.

Built for how primary and secondary schools really run.

Primary school

ECD to Grade 7

  • A class is taught as one group, so the class teacher enters every subject from one list.
  • Report cards print one page per pupil, ready to send home.
  • Grading scales set up the way your school grades, down to the Grade 7 best-six aggregate.

Starting is three steps, not a term of data entry.

  1. 1

    Bring your roll

    Add all your pupils and parents at once from a spreadsheet.

  2. 2

    Make it yours

    Your school gets its own Tendao, with your name on it. Your records stay private to your school.

  3. 3

    Set up your year

    Add your terms, classes, subjects and grading scales. Changes are kept in an activity log the head can read.

What to prepare before you start

A second pair of hands for teachers. A patient tutor for pupils.

Tendao already holds your classes: the marks, the hand-ins, the scheme of work. So teachers can simply ask, and pupils get help the moment they are stuck, not at the next lesson.

How the AI help works, and its limits

For teachers

Ask Tendao. Get a straight answer.

  • Who has not handed in? Who is slipping? How far behind is the scheme of work? Ask in plain words, and get the answer from your own classes.
  • Turn a gap into a revision assignment in seconds. It opens in your usual form, ready to change and set.
  • Marking a pile of photographed work? Get a suggested mark and feedback for each one, then check it and save it yourself.

Ask Tendao

Teacher: Who is falling behind in Form 4 Blue maths?

Tendao: Two pupils have been below the pass mark two terms running: Chiedza Sibanda (44, then 41) and Tapiwa Gumbo (47, then 39).

Teacher: Draft a revision assignment on simultaneous equations.

Tendao: Here is a draft with six questions, easiest first.

An example conversation.

For pupils, Form 1 to Upper 6

A tutor that knows what they are learning this week.

  • One for every subject they take, briefed on the class’s scheme of work and on anything their teacher adds.
  • Stuck on a question? Send a photo of the working, and it points to the first line that went wrong.
  • It coaches. It is told never to do their homework for them.
  • Teachers and school administrators can read every conversation, and the tutor is told to flag a pupil who seems unsafe.

Your teacher and the school’s administrators can read these conversations.

Pupil: I keep getting y = 7 but the answer says 3.

Tutor: Your first two lines are right. On line 3 you took 2y away instead of adding it. Try that line again: what do you get?
