Don’t carry learner motivation alone.
Thuto makes the work you set visible to parents, reminds learners to complete it, supports them with revision, and turns effort into rewards.
No extra work: Thuto uses the assessment plan and tasks you already have.
Teachers, put learner motivation into parents’ hands — and wallets.
The shift
From isolated enforcer to motivation co-pilot
Isolated enforcer
- Carrying the burden of learners’ academic discipline alone.
- Spending energy policing and nagging learners to complete tasks at home.
- Begging parents for support after performance has dropped at the end of term.
Motivation co-pilot with parents
- Thuto makes the work visible to parents,
- reminds learners to complete it,
- supports them with revision, and turns effort into rewards.
You do two things
Publish work. Recognise effort. Thuto does the rest.
01 · Publish work
Turn assessment plans into an automated revision schedule — and real-time parent visibility.
- TeacherUpload your existing termly assessment plan. Thuto populates it into learner profiles and aligns it to revision topics.
- ParentParents see upcoming assessments, so they can help set goals and track preparation.
- LearnerThuto sends reminders, so preparing for assessments becomes a manageable, regular habit.
01 · Publish work
Turn formative tasks into trackable, incentivised learning habits.
- TeacherPublish informal, formative tasks in seconds. Learners stay accountable, parents stay informed — no more chasing forgotten homework.
- ParentParents see the work that needs to be done and can encourage their child to stay on track.
- LearnerLearners unlock extra rewards for staying on top of their work.
01 · Publish work
Assign targeted support — and see the recovery as it happens.
- TeacherSelect specific learners and send targeted revision. Thutor takes each learner through it in a conversation, until they can explain it themselves.
- ParentParents see where their child needs support, and watch them close the gaps.
- LearnerLearners are recognised for extra effort, turning challenges into earned rewards.
02 · Recognise effort
Insights and nudges: recognise effort together with parents.
- TeacherWith one click, send a short in-app nudge — encourage those falling behind, or recognise those putting in the effort.
- ParentParents get the same nudge, so encouragement at home matches encouragement at school.
- LearnerLearners hear it from both sides — and effort starts to feel worth it.
Insights
Thuto isn’t a markbook. It tracks the habits that drive marks up.
You already know the marks from grading. Thuto shows revision completion, consistency and engagement — and flags who needs support before results slip.
Active
At least one revision session this week.
Engagement
Topics revised out of topics assigned.
Effort
Sessions completed out of sessions assigned — steady work, not rushing.
Consistency
A streak of finishing each topic when it’s released.
Progress
Relative improvement over time: 45% → 50% is an 11% gain.
Task completion
To-dos marked complete, on time or late.
Learners supported by both teachers and parents tend to stay on track — engaging regularly and improving consistently.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Still stuck? Tap Ask in the app, or contact support.
Is this extra work for teachers?
No. Thuto uses what you already have — your termly assessment plan and the tasks you already set. Revision releases automatically, and parents carry more of the motivation.
Is Thuto a markbook?
No. You already know the marks from grading. Thuto focuses on the habits that drive them up — revision completion, consistency and engagement. It does capture and verify reported marks, so coins are released for the final mark.
How are self-reported marks kept honest?
Parents accept or question each mark, Thuto flags marks that are unusual for that learner, and subject teachers confirm or correct questioned marks before coins are released.
What can I see about parents?
With the parent’s consent: days active, marks checked, tasks recognised and nudges read. Never contact details, payment status or bonus amounts.
Do I see learners from other classes?
No. You see only your own school. A class teacher sees their class; a subject teacher sees only the learners they’ve ticked.
What does it cost?
Thuto for Teachers is free for teachers and schools. Parents can start free; Thuto Core is R100 a month per child, with TC 50 added every month.
