There are two ways your pupils can have sessions with Skye, our spoken AI maths tutor - scheduled sessions, and self-launch sessions. Most schools use a combination of both.
Scheduled sessions
Scheduled sessions are regular tutoring sessions that run at the same times each week: you pick the exact times that work best for your timetable.
Session length, duration and frequency are flexible, and you can add new time slots at any point in the school year.
How to book in your scheduled sessions:
From the Sessions page of your account, click 'Schedule a session' in the top right corner. You can then choose your session timings: the day of the week, how often you'd like sessions to run, the start time, and the session duration.
Check all the details are correct in the summary and then click 'Schedule session'. To add more scheduled sessions, you simply repeat the steps for each time slot you want to book in.
How to assign your pupils to scheduled sessions:
Once your scheduled sessions are set up, the Sessions page of your account is also where you can assign students to each time slot.
Read the FAQ: How do I schedule sessions and assign pupils?
Schools use scheduled sessions to:
Run weekly intervention slots - small groups or whole year groups can receive regular support
Set up breakfast and after-school groups - providing extra support without increasing demands on teachers
Free up teachers to work with smaller groups - for example, half the class at a time can work with Skye, while the rest do whiteboard work with the teacher
Self-launch sessions
Self-launch sessions don't need booking in advance, so they provide extra flexibility.
Pupils can self-launch sessions by logging into their account at any time - unless they have a scheduled session with Skye in the next hour.
Pupils can choose any Learning Objective in their current programme to work on, including revisiting LOs they've already covered. Sessions end when the Learning Objective is complete, or after 45 minutes.
How to get your pupils on self-launch sessions
Simple! Just make sure they have an account and are assigned to a programme (you can check this in your Pupil Accounts page). If so, they can simply log in and launch a lesson whenever they like, provided they don’t have a scheduled session in the next hour.
Read the FAQ: How do self-launch sessions work?
Schools use self-launch sessions to:
Run same-day interventions - a group who didn't grasp a concept in a morning lesson can work through it that afternoon
Provide extra flexibility around regular sessions - pupils can start new Learning Objectives when they're ready, and self-select areas they want more work on
Set Skye sessions as homework - pupils can launch sessions anywhere they can log in, including at home, Monday to Friday
