We know that getting a tutor to supplement our children’s education is not a bad thing. But not every family can afford one. For this reason, this app caught my attention when I was introduced to it.

Geniebook is an app that is the result of 4 years of hard work by Beautyful Minds.

5 reasons why I like this app.

---

1. There are 50,000 questions!

Geniebook claims to have 50,000 questions so that I can be sure that there are way more than enough questions for my children to practice on! And of course, worked-out solutions are provided to allow my children to understand and learn from their mistakes.

2. It confirms to the Singapore MOE syllabus.

Questions from Geniebook are carefully handpicked, frequently reviewed and continuously updated to suit the MOE syllabus.

3. It is customisable.

I like the fact that it can be customised to produce a mock paper based on particular topics that I want. When there is no luxury of time to practice for everything, I can just zoom in to my children’s weaker topics. So, if my boy is weak in the topic on Energy, I can just let him practice more on these questions. I don’t need to sieve through all the questions to find the ones I want.

 

4. It caters to weaknesses intelligently.

Questions are grouped according to concepts. If a mistake is made in one particular concept, subsequent questions would be geared towards correcting that concept.

5. There are Progress Reports.

I can check on my children’s progress using the Progress Reports. This allows me to clearly see their completed and weaker topics, and ultimately, how much he has improved. This is something assessment books or other educational websites cannot offer me.

Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming response, all interested parties to get an account to use the app are now only placed on a waiting list. Why is there a finite number of users is because there are real teachers marking the open-ended questions!

If you place yourself on this list today, you would be around 650 in line. Gosh! You need patience to get an account. So, keep your fingers crossed.

For an app that mimics having a tutor (in fact, many tutors) helping my children, Geniebook ranks as my Top 14th Learning Resource of 2015.
