Problem
Secondary school students preparing for A Level and GCSE exams often lack access to personalized feedback on practice questions, as teachers have limited time to mark individual scripts. Generic AI chatbots provide answers rather than developing students' skills, and research shows this can harm learning outcomes. This leaves students without the one-to-one coaching needed to reach top exam bands.
Solution
Markaroo provides an AI-powered personal tutor that marks students' practice answers against official exam board mark schemes and coaches them through weaknesses using Socratic questioning. The system reads each answer carefully, identifies the specific line costing marks, and asks targeted questions that guide students to improve their own responses — without ever providing model answers. It remembers each student's recurring habits, such as weak evaluation or generic context, and coaches on those areas until they improve. Teachers use the same platform to set homework, review and edit AI-generated marks, and access class-level insights into skill gaps and common mistakes before releasing results to students.
Target Audience
Primary users are A Level and GCSE students preparing for exams and secondary school teachers, particularly economics departments, who want to assign past-paper practice at scale while retaining marking control. Heads of department use it to replace revision guide budgets with practice students actually complete.
