Software for schools, built around the people who teach.

A school website is read by a family deciding whether to trust the school with their child. Diyafah, a British curriculum school in Dubai, needed that first visit to work in Arabic as well as it worked in English. The usual approach bolts a translation layer onto an English site and ends with mirrored layouts, stranded English strings and an Arabic edition that looks like an afterthought.

We built the Arabic edition right to left from the first commit, with its own typography and its own content rather than a machine mirror of the English. The result is two full language editions, each designed, and zero layouts fixed after launch for the Arabic side. For a school, that is not decoration. It tells an Arabic speaking family that they are the audience, not a translation.

Brilliant Teaching started from a blank planning sheet, which is where most teachers lose an evening. The product turns planning into a guided flow: a teacher creates a unit, generates concepts for it, picks the activities that fit and tracks the lessons as they are taught, with a chat assistant beside the plan rather than in a separate tab. Subscriptions, plan changes and payments run through the API with webhooks, so upgrading never becomes a support ticket.

Edsidera approached the same problem from the feedback side. Teachers give feedback from preset comments and the platform reads it aloud through Google text to speech, so a younger student hears the comment in a voice rather than decoding a sentence. In both products the measure of success was the same: fewer steps than the paper process it replaced.

A school programme has more surfaces than a single app. Edsidera shipped as a Flutter mobile app for students and teachers, a Flutter web app, and a Next.js payment portal where parents pay through Stripe, all on one Node.js backend on AWS. Classes, tasks, a Rising Star award system and exports for administrators live in the same place, so a record a teacher creates on a phone is the record an administrator exports on a desktop.

Medi Quest Play is a reminder that educational content has to fit the course. Institutions and academics are modelled in the data, so a medical student plays rounds built from their own syllabus, and the question bank is administered through the API rather than rebuilt for every cohort. Revision became a game with rounds and scores instead of a list, and the content stayed in the hands of the people who teach it.
