My progress
Every topic on the curriculum as a dot, lit when a tutor has called it mastered, with a dated diary underneath. The same view for your child and for you.
On this page
My progress shows each subject as a tile of dots. One dot is one topic on the curriculum map. A dot is lit when a tutor has called the topic mastered, ringed while your child is learning it, and dim otherwise. Under the tiles is a diary: what changed, and on which date.
It replaced the 3-year map in October 2026. The older view drew each subject as a row of broad strands, and said nothing about topics, goals or dates.
It is a read-only view. Nobody fills it in by hand. It changes when a tutor makes a judgement, or when your child sets a goal.
Where to find it
- Parents: on your Learning plan page, the Progress tab. It is the tab the page opens on.
- Your child: on My Goals, the My progress tab, at aitutors.me/study/goals.
Both show the same tiles and the same diary. Your child's version also links into their map; yours does not, because the map is part of their study space.
How to read a tile
There are seven tiles, one for each subject on the map: Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English, History and Geography. All seven always show. A subject your child does not study with us is simply all dim.
Each tile holds every topic for that subject, Key Stage 3 and GCSE together, so Maths is a few hundred dots. For a child in Year 7 or Year 8 most of the later dots stay dim, which is as it should be.
| Dot | Your child sees | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Filled, in the subject's colour | Mastered | A tutor has judged the topic secure |
| A ring | Learning | The topic is a step on the way to one of your child's current goals, and is not yet mastered |
| Dim | Not started here | Neither of the above |
Under the dots is a plain count, such as 41 mastered · 6 learning.
Counts, never scores
The numbers are whole counts of topics. There is no percentage, no fraction of the subject, no progress bar and no grade anywhere on the page. A tile is a picture of what has been covered with us, not a mark.
"Not started here" is not "not started". We cannot know what your child's school has covered. A dim dot only means they have not worked on it with us.
The diary
Tap a tile and the diary underneath shows that subject, newest first. Each entry has:
- the date
- Mastered or Started
- the topic, with its strand and year
- for a mastered entry, who judged it, such as Prof. Quill
It shows seven entries, then Show more.
On your child's page, tapping a diary entry opens that topic on the KS3 map, and Open Maths on the map opens the whole subject there.
What changes a dot
| Change | What causes it |
|---|---|
| Dim → Learning | Your child sets a goal, and the topic is a step on the way to it. Dated the day the goal was set |
| → Mastered | A tutor judges it secure, in a session or through an assessment. Dated the day of that judgement |
Three rules hold throughout:
- Only a tutor's judgement makes a dot mastered. Practice, flashcards and time spent are evidence a tutor can weigh. None of them lights a dot by itself, and neither does a tap from your child.
- Nothing is taken away. A mastered dot does not dim later.
- A learning dot stays learning if your child swaps that goal for another.
An honest limit: tutors judge by strand today
A tutor's judgement is currently recorded for a whole strand (Number, Algebra, Reading & Comprehension and so on), not topic by topic. So for now:
- When a tutor calls a strand secure, the topics in that strand light together and share one date. Only topics up to your child's own year light; later years stay dim.
- The diary writes this as one entry for the strand, not one line per topic.
- Diary history begins in October 2026. Changes before then were not recorded with their dates, so the early diary is thin. An entry made before that may show no professor's name, because the source was not recorded.
Topic-by-topic judgement, with a date for each topic, is planned and not built yet. When it arrives, the tiles and the diary will show it without anything changing on your side.
An empty page is normal
A new child's tiles are all dim. The page fills in over the first few weeks, as tutors get to know your child and as your child sets goals. On their page the empty state says "Nothing here yet. Aim at a place on the map and it will start to fill in."
If the page cannot load the statuses, it says so. It never shows zeros as if they were true.
How it relates to goals and the map
- Goals are where your child chooses a place to aim at. Setting one turns the steps on the way to it to learning.
- My progress is the record: what has been mastered, what is under way, and when.
- The KS3 curriculum map is the curriculum itself, with the links between topics. On your child's page its dots carry the same three statuses.
