Take a look
Preview mode opens the first videos for Secondary 1 and Secondary 2 and lets you try the answer marking. Just enter your email. No account needed.
Support for your students between lessons
Our Study Tribe helps Secondary 1 and 2 students revise Lower Secondary History at home, in the same language you use in class: PEEL, source skills and marking levels. It works alongside your teaching, not instead of it.
What it covers
Matched to what students are tested on
Follows the syllabus
Lessons and practice follow the MOE Lower Secondary History syllabus for Secondary 1 and Secondary 2, with a bridge for Primary 6 students starting secondary school.
Source-based questions
SBQs are split into named skills, such as inference, purpose and comparison, and broken into steps: think, find evidence, write, check.
Structured essays
Describe and explain questions, built one PEEL paragraph at a time, plus full practice papers in the usual school format.
Historical Investigation
A planner that walks a group through the HI in four phases, from choosing a question to reaching an answer.
How it is designed
Built on how students learn
Every feature follows a set of design principles drawn from learning research and Universal Design for Learning, so students who learn differently are planned for from the start.
Managing cognitive load
Lessons of about five minutes, one idea at a time, with narration and visuals designed to work together.
Retrieval and spacing
Videos pause for quick checks, and a daily review brings each idea back over days and weeks.
Scaffold, then fade
Guided PEEL boxes, sentence starters and step-by-step hints support early answers, then step back as students improve.
Disciplinary thinking made visible
Every video lays out its argument as Point, Evidence, Elaboration and Link, the same shape students use in their answers.
Feedback that moves learning on
Students see the marking levels before they write. Each answer returns an estimated level, one strength and one next step.
Accessible by default
Captions, adjustable speed, a glossary, read aloud, line focus and an easier-to-read font, for every student, with no label needed.
Good to know
Where it fits, and where it doesn't
Your marking comes first
Feedback in the app is an automated estimate against the question's marking levels. Students are told their teacher may mark differently, and to compare with the model answer.
No teacher dashboard yet
There are no teacher accounts or class dashboards yet.
We'd love to develop a teacher dashboard with you. Tell us what would help you most in a school pilot.
Safe for students
No ads, no public chat and no strangers. Study groups are small and invite-only, with no rankings, and we collect as little personal data as we can.
Get involved
Try it, share it, shape it
Share it with students and parents
The pilot is free. Students who want extra support at home can join with a full account, and parents can follow their progress.
Join the free pilotPilot it with your class
We're inviting a small number of teachers and schools to pilot Our Study Tribe with a class or group, at no cost.
How school pilots workSchool pilots
A pilot as a research partnership
We are inviting a small number of teachers and schools to pilot Our Study Tribe with a class or group. Each pilot is structured to answer practical questions: how students use the tool, where it supports learning, and where the design needs to change.
Research tells us what tends to work; pilots test whether it works here, in Singapore classrooms.
Agree the focus
We discuss your class, your learning goals and how you intend to use the tool, whether in lessons, for homework or for revision, and agree what we will look at together.
Access for your group
Your students receive pilot access to the Lower Secondary History content for an agreed period, at no cost.
Use it alongside your teaching
Students work through lessons and practice in class or at home, individually or in study tribes, while usage is captured in aggregate.
Review together
A structured check-in gathers feedback from you and your students, and it directly shapes what we build next.
Talk to us about a pilot
Tell us a little about your school, your class and what you would hope to learn from a pilot. We will get back to you within two working days.
