A flashcard should feel like a note passed across a classroom, not a chore left on a fridge.

Why we built Flick & Feed
aitutors.me · Flashcards

Every kid who quits flashcards quits for the same reason. It isn’t the science.

Retrieval practice works. Loneliness doesn’t. So we rebuilt the flashcard around other people — and honesty.

A deck of two hundred cards, a counter that only goes up, and nobody who knows you showed up today. The science only works if the app gets opened — and that’s a design problem, not a science problem.

Flick & Feed — the real thing

Don’t take our word for it. Do a session.

Three real cards, the exact mechanic your child gets. Answer in your head before you flip — that’s the part that does the remembering.

3/4

HintFind the highest common factor of both numbers and cancel it in one go, or cancel in stages.

The why36 and 48 share a highest common factor of 12, so dividing both by 12 gives 3/4. Cancelling in stages (÷2, ÷2, ÷3) reaches the same place — keep going until top and bottom share no factor except 1.

To make more room to carry oxygen

HintLosing its control centre frees up space for its cargo.

The whyWithout a nucleus taking up space, a red blood cell can pack in more haemoglobin, so each cell carries as much oxygen as possible.

Answer in your head…Nearly every substance is denser as a solid than as a liquid, yet ice floats on water. What must be true of the particles in ice?

Chemistry · Particles and states of matterProfessor Curie

They are held further apart than in the liquid

HintFloating means less mass squeezed into the same space, so the locked pattern must be more open.

The whyWater is the great exception. As it freezes, its particles lock into an open six-sided pattern that leaves gaps, so a given mass of ice takes up about 9% more room than the same mass of liquid. Less mass in the same volume means a lower density, so ice floats — and a pond freezes from the top down, which is why fish survive the winter beneath it.

You don’t only get cards

The best card you’ll ever revise from is the one you wrote when you were stuck.

Writing a card is part of the lesson, not homework afterwards. Four ways one gets made:

  • In the lessonYou get something wrong with a professor, and it becomes a card before you’ve moved on.
  • The WorkshopWrite the front, the back, a hint and the why. Save it half-finished and come back to it.
  • From a PDFDrop in tonight’s worksheet or a page of the textbook. Cards come out of it.
  • Over a diagramCover the labels on a cell or a circuit, then name them from memory.

Workshop · draft2 half-written

Why does a red blood cell have no nucleus?

Hint Losing its control centre frees up space for its cargo.

Then it joins the pile

Cards you write are scheduled exactly like ours — the same ways of asking, the same intervals, the same honest date printed on the button before you press it.

And once a professor has checked it, it can go up into the Shared Sky below.

Not trivia — coordinates

Every card is a point on the KS3 map

Anki and Quizlet decks are flat piles. Here, each card carries its address in the curriculum — the topic before it, its own, and the one it unlocks. Pick a card:

Maths▸Number▸Fractions of amounts▸Year 7

The topic beforeMultiplication & division fluency
This card lives hereFractions of amounts
It unlocksFractions ↔ decimals ↔ %
📍 Open on the KS3 map

Positional, never a mastery claim — the map shows where a card lives, not what your child has “mastered”.

And when a card has your child stuck, it isn’t a dead end:

Study with Professor Pi →

In the real product this exact button sits on every card and opens a live chat with the professor about that card. Here it opens our free demo tutor — no account needed.

Spaced repetition, out loud

Most apps schedule your memory in secret. Ours shows its working.

See a fact again just before you’d forget it: right answers grow the gap, tricky ones shrink it. Every button shows its real date before you press. So “Tricky” is never a punishment, just a shorter gap — which is why kids stop lying to it.

Try it — press a grade

A card on its third review, scheduled by the exact same code your child’s cards use:

Nice. The gap grows: back in 15 days · Sat 3 Oct.

When there’s a date in the diary

Tell it when the test is. Everything moves to land before it.

Cards for that subject come back sooner, so they’re all seen in time. The night before, there’s a real run to sit.

The Shared Sky

When a student finishes a card, it becomes a star other students can study by.

5

cards published under this sky so far — each one checked by a professor before it went live.

Students browse cards written by other UK students on the same KS3 map, checked by a professor, and free to adopt.

“Which subatomic particle decides what element an atom is?”

Amelia · Year 8 · with Professor Curie

“If a recipe uses flour and butter in the ratio 3 : 2, what does the 3 mean?”

Sam · Year 7 · with Professor Pi

“Which organelle releases energy from glucose?”

Priya · Year 9 · with Professor Darwin

Example cards for illustration. Real bylines are safe by design: first name, year band, professor. Never a surname, school, or photo.

Questions parents ask

Straight answers.

How does spaced repetition actually work here?

Your child sees a card again just before they’d forget it. Grade “Got it” and the gap grows (a day, then six days, then weeks); grade “Tricky” and it shrinks to tomorrow. Unlike most apps, every button shows its real return date before it’s pressed — the schedule is never a black box.

Isn’t this just Anki with extra steps?

The memory science is the same family — spaced repetition works and we use it. What Anki doesn’t have: cards pinned to the KS3 curriculum map with a visible prerequisite chain, professor-checked content, the Shared Sky community, a “Study with the professor” hand-off on every card, and intervals shown honestly up front instead of hidden in an algorithm.

What is the Shared Sky, and is it safe?

It’s the shared layer where students publish finished cards for others to browse and adopt. Every published card passes professor review first, and bylines are limited by design to a first name, a year band and the professor it was made with — no surnames, schools, photos, or messaging of any kind.

Which subjects have cards today?

Honestly: three finished canonical decks — Maths (Fractions, with Professor Pi), Chemistry (Particles and states of matter, with Professor Curie) and Biology (Cells and organisation, with Professor Darwin). The system is built for every KS3 subject; new decks join as they pass professor review.

Can my child make their own cards?

Yes — writing a card is part of tutoring, and it’s one of the best-evidenced ways to learn. They can write one in a lesson, build one from scratch in the Workshop, or make a set from a worksheet PDF. Cards your child makes join their own review orbit, and once a professor has checked one they can publish it to the Shared Sky, or bundle their best into a named revision pack for classmates to adopt whole.

How does this fit with the tutoring subscription?

Flashcards are part of the AI Tutors subscription, not a separate purchase. Cards come out of tutoring sessions with the professors, reviews feed back into what the tutor works on next, and any card can hand your child straight into a chat with its professor — it’s the same curriculum map end to end.

For the parent reading over a shoulder

Underneath the delight, it’s rigorous.

Mapped to the real curriculum

Each serial tag is the card’s address on the KS3 map — not a random ID.

★ KS3-MATH-NUM-0002

Professor-authored

Pi, Curie and Darwin write and check every published card — the hint teaches the method, “the why” builds understanding.
