For parents

A patient tutor for your child, and peace of mind for you

Rookwise is additional learning support that sits alongside school. It won't replace your child's teacher and it won't promise guaranteed marks — it will help your child understand their work.

What it helps with

Support where learners get stuck

Understand difficult schoolwork

Rook explains concepts step by step at your child's grade level, as many times as they need.

Help when you're not available

Homework rarely happens at a convenient time. Rook is there for the questions you can't answer.

Prepare for tests and exams

Curriculum-aligned revision, practice questions and explanations before the big week.

Practise school subjects

Quizzes and flashcards turn passive reading into active recall.

Build confidence

Encouragement when a topic is hard, so learners keep going instead of giving up.

Learn independently

Guidance rather than answers, so your child develops their own method.

Our promise to parents

  • We do not promise guaranteed marks or guaranteed improvement.
  • Rookwise is designed to guide learners, not to do their work for them.
  • Rook is positioned as extra support alongside teachers and parents.
  • Explanations are pitched to the learner's grade and the CAPS curriculum.

The Parent Hub

The Parent Hub gives you greater visibility into your child's learning activity and progress, so you can stay involved in the conversation about school — even in subjects you haven't touched in twenty years.

You'll be able to see what your child has been working on and where they are putting in effort, making it easier to encourage them at the right moment.

Set your child up with Rook

It takes a few minutes to create an account and ask the first question.
