Learning that leaps.
Together, in real time.
TukaPuka turns the tuition session into a live, scored, cognitively-structured game show — a companioned, proctored space where children learn actively, together, with a real coach guiding every minute.
The problem we refuse to accept
Most screen time pulls children down — passive, solitary, and impossible to measure. We built the opposite.
Passive by default
Endless feeds reward scrolling, not thinking. Attention is harvested, never built.
Alone in the algorithm
Screens isolate. There is no classmate to race, no coach watching, no shared moment.
Invisible progress
Parents see a grade at the end of term, with no window into whether learning actually happened.
TUKAPUKA ACADEMY
The home base for your learning community.
TukaPuka Academy is where educators organise learning, run live sessions and follow learner progress. It connects the playful TukaPuka experience to the real work of a classroom.
One academy workspace
Bring educators, classes, sessions and learners into one calm, organised place built for everyday teaching.
Live classroom play
Launch collaborative game sessions, invite Pukas with a simple code, and keep everyone moving together in real time.
Progress you can see
Turn session activity into meaningful learning signals across vocabulary, knowledge, creativity, memory and numeracy.
Academy-first access
Keep your academy, educators and learners connected through a dedicated workspace with clear roles and access.
A kingfisher, a frog, and a pond
The whole product lives in one image: a pond at dawn, alive with motion.
The Tuka — a kingfisher
Swift, deliberate, precise. The Tuka dives in at exactly the right moment: choosing the games, setting the pace, reading the whole pond at a glance, and lifting every learner.
The Puka — a frog
Bouncy, curious, fearless. The Puka leaps from lily pad to lily pad — each game a new pad — earning PukaPoints, climbing the leaderboard, growing braver with every jump.
How a session comes alive
The Tuka builds a session
A handful of games, the right age tier, durations that fit the class. One join code is born.
Pukas arrive in one tap
A shared link carries the code. Tap, and you are in the lobby — no app, no typing, tablet-ready.
Everyone plays, live
Games run in sync. Scores fly in real time. The Tuka can extend time or re-run a round on the fly.
Minds grow, visibly
Every answer nudges the MindMap — five cognitive dimensions tracked across every session.
Three roles, one pond
Tuka
Educator
Runs the room. Sees understanding the instant it happens, and steers the session live.
Puka
Learner
Competes, earns, and climbs. Builds a profile of every game, score, and skill over time.
Guardian
Parent
Watches progress that is real, not a number on a report card. Handles enrolment with ease.
The MindMap promise
Every word formed, every problem solved, every image recalled feeds a living profile of five cognitive dimensions — growing, visibly, across every session a Puka plays.
