Services · Mobile app development · AI tutoring apps
Codeeo delivers AI tutor app development UK edtech companies, publishers, tutoring firms and school groups can roll out nationally. We build learner apps, parent and teacher dashboards and the tutoring model behind them, designed to coach pupils towards an answer rather than supply it. UK GDPR, the ICO Children's code and safeguarding duties are treated as product requirements, and the app is planned to work across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which each run their own curriculum and guidance.
A tutor that is right for a GCSE pupil in Leeds may be wrong for a National 5 student in Glasgow or a learner taught through Welsh in Cardiff. We plan for those differences early, so expansion does not mean rebuilding the product.

Platform capabilities
Scaling a tutoring product nationally raises problems a single city pilot never meets. Content has to map to several curricula and exam boards. Schools sign in through different identity providers and keep pupil records in different management systems. Privacy rules are UK wide, but education guidance differs by nation: the Department for Education's product safety expectations for generative AI and Keeping Children Safe in Education apply in England, while Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland publish their own advice. Beneath all of it sits the Age Appropriate Design Code, which applies wherever children in the UK are likely to use a service. The capabilities below are the national building blocks we usually propose. Each is scoped against your own curriculum and market, because a primary maths product and a sixth form science tutor need very different first releases. Usage, progress and alert reporting by nation, region, trust and school sits behind all of them, so leaders can see where adoption has stalled without opening individual pupil records.
Every question and explanation is tagged to the national curriculum key stages in England, Curriculum for Excellence levels in Scotland, the Curriculum for Wales and the Northern Ireland curriculum, plus exam board specifications from AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and CCEA where relevant. The tutor only draws on content tagged for the learner's route.
Each pupil is coached on the course they actually follow.
Pupils sign in with their school Google Workspace for Education or Microsoft account, and class lists come from management systems such as SIMS, Arbor or Bromcom through a rostering service like Wonde. Teachers stop creating accounts by hand and leavers are removed automatically.
Schools onboard in days of admin work, not weeks.
The tutor answers a stuck pupil with prompts and partial steps. Full worked solutions appear only when a teacher allows them for a task. This reflects the DfE expectation that learner products in England do not give final answers by default, and it is sound teaching practice in every nation.
Learners build understanding instead of collecting answers.
For schools and learners in Wales, the app can run in Welsh as well as English, including notifications and help text. Tutor explanations in Welsh need careful testing because model quality varies by language, so we evaluate them separately before launch.
Welsh medium schools can adopt the product properly.
High privacy settings, geolocation off, profiling off unless there is a compelling reason, no data shared with third parties for marketing and clear signals when parents or teachers can see activity. These map to the Children's code standards and are documented in your data protection impact assessment.
A privacy position you can explain to any school or parent.
Concerning messages trigger a calm response pointing the learner to a trusted adult and Childline, then an alert to the right person: a school's designated safeguarding lead, a tutoring firm's safeguarding officer or a parent for home subscribers. Routing rules differ by customer type and are configured per account.
Every alert has an owner, wherever the learner is.
Families can subscribe through Apple and Google in app purchases or on the web through a card provider such as Stripe, while schools buy annual licences on invoice. Licences, seats and renewals are managed in one admin area, and age appropriate design rules out pushing upgrades at children.
Consumer and school revenue run from one platform.
Read aloud, adjustable text and spacing, keyboard and switch access on the web console, and reading levels tuned to each key stage. We design to WCAG 2.2 so schools can meet their Equality Act duties to disabled pupils, and we test with assistive technology users before national launch rather than after complaints.
Pupils with SEND can use the same tutor as their classmates.
Automated test runs check accuracy against mark schemes, appropriate refusals, tone and reading level for each key stage. Results are versioned, so when a school procurement team or a trust's data protection officer asks how the product is assured, you can show evidence rather than assurances.
Procurement questions answered with test records.
Daily time limits set by schools or parents, prompts to take a break after long sessions and a tutor that never presents itself as a friend or claims feelings. The January 2026 update to the DfE expectations added standards on emotional development, mental health and manipulation, and we design to them for products used in England.
A study tool that does not compete for a child's attention.
Who this is for
We work as an AI tutor app development company UK organisations engage remotely. Codeeo has no UK office; our team of 80+ across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi runs discovery, design reviews and sprint demos by video call, with written decisions after each one. National clients tend to fall into the four groups below, and the hardest parts of the build differ for each. In every case, a national buyer will be asked by schools, parents or funders to explain how the tutor reaches answers, who sees a child's data and what happens when a pupil says something worrying, so those answers are designed before the features.
Many UK edtech products start in English schools and then find that Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish schools follow different courses and guidance. We restructure content around curriculum tags, add Welsh language support where needed and adjust safeguarding and data protection documents so they make sense to buyers in each nation, without forking the codebase. Sales teams then get clear answers for each nation's procurement questions instead of an England only pack.
One codebase, several curricula.
Providers matching families with tutors across the country want AI practice between sessions and a way to send pupils back to a human when they are stuck. We build the practice app, tutor summaries before each lesson and an admin area that tracks tutor DBS checks, or the equivalent PVG scheme membership for tutors working with children in Scotland.
Human tutors stay at the centre of the service.
Publishers hold thousands of textbook questions, worked examples and teacher notes. Custom AI tutor app development UK publishers ask for usually turns that library into a grounded tutor that cites the publisher's own material, respects licensing boundaries between products and protects the content from being extracted by users or reused by model providers.
Licensed content stays inside your hosting and is never used to train public models.
Charities offering free tutoring need low running costs, accessible design, phones rather than laptops and strong evidence for funders. We design usage controls, low data modes and consented, pseudonymised reporting so an independent evaluation can measure impact. Safeguarding often spans partner schools and volunteers, so routing rules are built around your partnership agreements.
Evidence for funders is planned from the first release.
How we work together
A fixed scope first version suits organisations proving one product in one or two nations. Once live, a monthly retainer covers model and content updates, new curricula and support. Companies planning a multi year national platform often prefer a dedicated team of engineers, designers and a product lead who work inside their planning and tooling. All engagements are delivered remotely by video call, with shared boards and written decisions.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
iOS, Android and web apps, an admin platform, language models chosen per task for quality and cost, a vector index of your licensed content and hosting in a UK or EU region, agreed with your data protection officer.

Four education systems under one privacy regime.
UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Children's code apply across the UK, but curricula, qualifications, inspection and safeguarding guidance are set separately in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. A national product needs content tagged to each route, documents that refer to the right guidance for each buyer and, in Wales, a Welsh language option. Planning for this at the start costs far less than retrofitting it.
