Guiding you Step by Step

How it Works

Educating your child at home is easier than ever. See how we’re helping children achieve their full potential in maths.

Preparing for Class

Download the app

First things first, you’ll need to install our app.

Visit the App Store or Google Play Store and search for ‘Think Academy Classroom’. You can use the app to attend class on any device providing its specifications meet the minimum requirements. 

We recommend installing our app on your desktop or tablet for the ultimate classroom experience.

Sign in

Our app is designed to be parent-friendly, so now you can sign in with your phone number! 

Simply enter the phone number that you registered with to access your account and visit your profile. 

Choose a location

In this options menu, please select the UK education system.

If you’re currently outside of the UK, ensure that your settings are set to ‘United Kingdom’.

Review your chosen course

After logging in, you can view the course that you signed up for in the ‘Current’ and ‘All’ sections under ‘My Courses’. 

 

When it’s time for the class

Open the Think Academy app and tap ‘Enter’ to get started. Please enable the access to your camera and microphone so that your tutor and tutor’s assistant can both see and hear your child. Your child’s tutor and tutor’s assistant will be waiting to greet them.

 

Test the app before class

Please make sure you download the courseware and verify that you have a stable internet connection before tapping the “Join Class” button.

 

Familarising Yourself with our Online Learning Platform

For detailed instructions on how to use our online learning platform, the tutor’s assistant will provide a short tutorial five minutes before the class is due to start. We highly encourge your child to join this tutorial.

Please see the following description and images on some basic functions:

Control your camera – turn your camera on or off as you wish.

Manage chat box – switch to “Teacher Only” if you don’t want to view other students’ messages in the chat box.

Interact with tutor – Click “raise your hand” to come on stage and share your answer via a video link with the tutor.

Minimise the video windows – you can minimise the video window if it blocks the courseware.

Screenshot – you can take a screenshot of the slide on the screen as needed.

Refresh function – refresh the page if you: 

  • Cannot see the courseware.
  • Cannot hear or see the tutor.
  • Cannot interact or play the game.

If it still does not function correctly:

  1. Restart the app, close all other programmes or apps on your device, and enter the classroom again.
  2. Restart the device.
  3. Use another device.

If you have more than one child, they can log into class at the same time regardless as to whether they are on the same course. However, each child will need their own device and log into class using their own account.

Online classes for Years 1 and 2 are 70 minutes each, including a 10-minute break. For Years 3-6, classes last approximately 90 minutes each, including a 10-minute break. 

Please contact your child’s teaching assistant to receive a new OTP. 

We suggest coming to class at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start time. This gives your child time to settle down and get to know the teacher and ensure no technical issues exist, such as problems with your internet connection.
