How Ilmino helps

Practise it, get it marked, know what is next.

Marked like the real exam

Every answer, typed or handwritten, is marked against the actual mark scheme, with the reason for every mark shown alongside your answer.

Lumi explains the step you missed

When a mark is lost, Lumi, the AI tutor, walks through exactly where the working went wrong and what to do differently next time.

Timed mock papers

Sit full papers in exam mode, under real time pressure, then get a paper-by-paper breakdown of marks gained and lost by topic.

Parent reports

Parents see mastery by topic building over time, so support lands exactly where it is needed without reading every answer.
