A short report after every lesson
In the last 5 minutes of a Cookie Tutoring lesson your tutor writes what you covered and what to work at next, and it stays with the lesson for you, and a parent who books for you, to read.
The lesson ends
Your tutor writes a short report, and what to keep working at can become homework straight away.
Homework goes to cookie
Flashcards, practice questions, a past paper or notes, done on cookie between lessons.
Practice moves the topic scores
Every marked answer, flashcard rating and past-paper question counts towards a score for its topic.
The next lesson starts there
With progress shared, your tutor sees each topic weakest first, so the next lesson can start where it is needed.
A sample week between lessons, as the tutor sees it. After a lesson on moles the tutor has filed a report. Press Set homework from this to set flashcards and a past paper on cookie; the student does both, the score for moles rises but stays the weakest, and the tutor plans to start the next lesson with it.

What you get from a lesson report
Four short answers, written by your tutor while the lesson is fresh.
Four plain headings
“Today we covered”, “I was impressed by”, “We'll keep working at” and “Next time we'll cover”.
Sent to the family
The student is emailed when a report is filed, and so is a parent or guardian who looks after their lessons.
Homework from it
Once the student shares their progress on cookie, what to keep working at can become homework there straight away.
How lesson reports work
- 1Written at the end of the lessonThe report opens for your tutor 5 minutes before the end, inside the time you have paid for, and stays open if the lesson runs over.
- 2Filed with the lessonOnce filed, the tutor can correct it for 24 hours, and after that it is fixed as part of the record.
- 3The next lesson starts from itWith progress shared on cookie, your tutor sees each topic weakest first and can begin where it is needed.
Asking how it went, or reading a report
Without a report
- Asking the tutor how it went, if there is time
- Nothing written down to look back on
- Homework remembered, or not
- Each lesson starting from scratch
With lesson reports
- A report in your lessons, and an email when it is filed
- Every report kept with its lesson
- Homework set on cookie from the report
- Your tutor starting from the weakest topic
What families use lesson reports for
Parents keeping up
A parent who books a child’s lessons reads each report without needing to sit in on the lesson.
Revising between lessons
The student knows exactly what to practise, and the homework set from the report is waiting on cookie.
Looking back before an exam
Read back through the reports to see what was covered and which topics kept coming up.
Lesson reports FAQ
Who can read a lesson report?
The tutor, the student, and a parent, guardian or sponsor who looks after the student’s lessons. Nobody sees it until the tutor files it.
Where do I find a lesson report?
On the lesson in your lessons page, and in your messages with the tutor. You are also emailed when it is filed, and you can turn that email off in your settings.
Does every lesson get a report?
Tutors are asked to write one in the last 5 minutes of each lesson. It is not compulsory, so an intro or a very short lesson may not have one.
Can a report be changed after it is filed?
For 24 hours, so a tutor can fix a mistake. After that it is fixed, so what a family has read does not change later.
Is the report written by AI?
No. Your tutor writes it in their own words, under the same four headings for every lesson.
Know what each lesson covered
Each report is on your lessons page, beside the lesson it belongs to.
