Everything, in one place

Everything they need to learn, everything you need to stay in the loop.

HopFocus brings curriculum, planning, reporting and a personal tutor together so you don't have to juggle ten different tools.

All 8 NZ subjects

Maths, Reading, Writing, Spelling, Oral Language, Social Studies, Science and Technology — the full Years 1–8 curriculum, not a handful of topics.

A real lesson engine

Warm-up, teach, we-do, you-do, wrap-up — with a personalised AI tutor and server-checked answers so your child can't just guess their way through.

Branded worksheets & weekly packs

Printable or emailable resources, with answers kept on a separate parent-only page so you stay in control.

A reading library matched to your child

Hop points them to real, free books and audio stories picked for their exact reading level, not just their year.

Homeschool planning & records

Attendance tracking, weekly planning, progress evidence and downloadable resources to help you organise and reflect on your homeschool journey with confidence.

Hop's Burrow

A reward space that grows as they learn, earned by effort only — never bought, never a pay-to-win shortcut.

Beyond online lessons

Learning that leaves the screen

HopFocus is built for real school days — printing, handwriting, outings and all.

Family planner

Plan the week your way: use our suggested plan, lock the day to it, or set every subject yourself. Add the things that happen away from a screen too — swimming, karate, library, homeschool group — and tick them off as they're done. Lessons tick themselves off the moment your child finishes them.

Log book of completed work

Every finished lesson is recorded automatically, and printable worksheets and weekly packs sit alongside them. Browse the log book by child, subject or month, so you can pull up exactly what was done and when.

Photo book (the Learning Journal)

Log an outing, a baking session or a science project with a photo and a note, and it becomes a photo book you flick through month by month. Tick an entry to include it, and it appears in your child's printable learning record.

For parents

You know your child can learn. The hard part is knowing what they need next.

HopFocus takes the guesswork out of it — so support at home feels calm and specific instead of vague and stressful.

Quiet learning gaps

A missed idea from two years ago can make today's work feel impossible — and it rarely shows up on a report.

Skills that fade

Things they knew last term slip away without regular, low-pressure practice.

Homework battles

Evenings turn into negotiation. Nobody learns much when everyone is tired and frustrated.

Tutoring costs add up

An hour a week is expensive, hard to schedule, and often not enough to close a real gap.

Not knowing how to help

Maths is taught differently now. Wanting to help and knowing what to do next are two different things.

Where Hop comes in

Hop works out what your child actually knows, teaches the missing step, and keeps you in the loop in plain English.

The difference

Your child's school year doesn't always tell the whole story.

Two children in the same classroom can need completely different things. HopFocus builds the pathway around the child rather than the year level on the roll.

Start Your 7-Day Free Trial

A Year 6 who needs to go back

Fractions aren't the problem — place value is. Hop quietly revisits the earlier idea, rebuilds it properly, then returns to Year 6 work with the foundation in place.

A Year 6 who's ready for more

Already confident? Hop keeps moving, offering extension work that stretches thinking instead of repeating what they can already do.

Same year. Same classroom. Two very different next steps.

How HopFocus works

Four steps from unsure to steadily ahead.

01

Discover

A short, friendly check-in shows what your child already knows and where the gaps sit — no test anxiety, no marks out of ten.

02

Personalise

Hop builds a learning pathway around your child's real level in each subject, not their year level. It also weaves in what they care about — animals, Minecraft, trucks, stories, gaming or whatever they love — so new concepts are introduced through familiar contexts that matter to them.

03

Learn with Hop

Short lessons teach one idea at a time, with guided practice, gentle hints and encouragement at every step.

04

Grow & Celebrate

Progress is tracked, skills are revisited before they fade, and every effort earns Stars for Hop's Burrow.

Inside HopFocus

What you see

Plain English, not technical scores.

  • Going well

    Times tables to 10 — quick and confident.

  • Needs more practice

    Fractions — comparing halves and quarters.

  • Next focus

    Fractions on a number line, then simple decimals.

Made for real children, not just perfect learners.

Some days are focused, some days are not. HopFocus is designed for both — short sessions, clear steps and a companion who keeps things calm.

Adaptive pacing

Lessons slow down when something is hard and move on when it clicks. Nobody is dragged along or held back.

Taught step by step

One idea at a time, explained clearly, with a worked example before your child tries it alone.

Encouragement that lands

Hop is patient with wrong answers, notices effort, and never sighs or rushes.

Practice that sticks

Skills are revisited at sensible intervals so learning holds instead of fading after a week.

New Zealand Curriculum

Designed around the New Zealand Curriculum, Years 1–8.

Content is written for New Zealand classrooms and mapped to Years 1–8, with each subject set to your child's actual level rather than their age.

Writing

Ideas, organisation, sentence craft and editing — taught one step at a time.

Spelling

Sound-to-spelling patterns practised little and often.

Oral Language

Speaking, listening and presenting with confidence in familiar contexts.

Social Studies

Aotearoa New Zealand histories, communities and how societies work.

Science

Investigating the natural world through inquiry and curiosity.

Technology

Digital skills, design thinking and building simple solutions.

A day with Hop

Rewards they've earned, reports you can trust, and a tutor who never sighs.

Stars & Hop's Burrow

Learning games that earn Stars — and a Burrow that becomes theirs.

Practice games and finished lessons earn Stars. Stars unlock new items for Hop's Burrow — a calm space that slowly becomes a record of everything your child has worked for.

  • Stars come from effort and finished learning, never from spending money
  • No ads, no loot boxes, no pressure to keep playing
  • A reason to come back tomorrow, not a reason to stay up late

Memory Match

Find the pairs. A quiet, focused game that rewards attention and recall.

Earns Stars

Tic Tac Toe

Three in a row to win. Simple strategy with a friendly Hop opponent.

Earns Stars

Rock Paper Scissors

The classic quick-thinking game. A light break between lessons.

Brain Break Games

A small collection of quick, calm games children can play when they need a reset.

Parent progress

Never wonder how your child is doing again.

See what your child worked on, what's clicking, what still needs practice and what Hop will focus on next — written the way a good teacher would explain it at the classroom door.
