A 15-minute check-up finds where the trouble starts, often a topic from an earlier grade. Your plan begins at that step. Most days there is a 10 to 20 minute session: an explanation, practice with help, then a question on your own. A week later Stride checks that it stuck, and before exams it moves weak topics forward. See a week with Stride, or look inside the demo.
Is it live lessons, or a teacher on a call?
No. Stride is self-paced: your child studies on their own phone or computer, whenever suits them. There is no live class to attend.
Is it just quizzes?
No. Every session teaches first, with an explanation and a worked example before any question is marked. Questions are how Stride checks what has landed, not the whole lesson.
Why not just ask a chatbot?
A chatbot answers the question you ask. Stride starts with the one you didn't know to ask: the check-up finds where the trouble starts, often a topic from an earlier grade, and your plan begins there. It keeps up with what your class is learning this term, and a week later it checks that you still know it. A topic only counts as learnt once you have shown it on your own, not because you spent time on it.
What happens when my child gets stuck?
They can ask for the idea explained a different way, up to three ways, and each way is different. If it still does not land, Stride stops, tells them to ask their teacher about that topic, and writes a short note they can show the teacher. You see the note in your parent view. It does not keep guessing.
What does it cost?
Stride is free during early access. After that, the planned price is R100 a month per learner. We will confirm it before early access ends, you will never be charged without choosing to pay, and beta testers get four months free.
Which grades and subjects?
We are starting with Mathematics for Grades 8 to 10, following CAPS and the Department of Basic Education’s 2026 Annual Teaching Plans. Our waitlist covers Grades 4 to 6, Grades 7 to 12 and university, and more subjects follow. For Grade 11 and 12 we plan help getting ready for university: entry requirements, applications and funding. For first-years, study planning and time management. Choose your stage above to hear when yours opens.
Does it work?
We are starting a pilot with learners and will publish what we find, including what did not work. Until we have measured it, we will not claim results.
Kgomotso Porogo and Katleho Ngcebo Soko started Stride after experiencing how difficult studying can be without a clear plan or support. Stride is the study partner they wished they had: a place to build a routine, work through difficult foundations and prepare for what comes next.
