A Term on Teneo's Without Classes: What Homeschooling Families Can Expect

On Teneo's Without Classes option, families homeschool with Teneo's content modules for every subject lesson, on a schedule, while qualified teachers set, invigilate, mark and moderate timetabled assessments. Learners can join after-school group tutorials, and parents receive a termly promotion report.

Choosing a homeschooling option is easier when you can picture the term ahead. Here's what a term on Without Classes looks like — what Teneo provides, what you do, and where support comes in.

What's included

• Content modules for every subject lesson, with a schedule to follow

• Timetabled assessments set, invigilated, marked and moderated by qualified teachers

• Termly promotion reports

• After-school, teacher-led, subject-specific group tutorials

• 24/7 access to MyTeneo for learners and parents

What's not included: teacher-led classes, a classes timetable and direct teacher messaging.

Optional paid add-ons: the lesson recordings library (per subject); gap detection and personalised academic support (all subjects); mastery reports (all subjects).

Before the term starts

• Log in to MyTeneo and look at the term's schedule

• Set up a workspace and a daily routine

• Check the assessment timetable, so assessment dates are in the family calendar

• Order textbooks and stationery for your child's grade

The weekly rhythm

• Each day: your child works through the scheduled content modules, with you guiding the learning

• During the week: extra practice on topics that take longer

• After school, when needed: a teacher-led group tutorial in a subject where your child needs help

• Weekly: check progress against the schedule

Your role: guide the learning day, help with new content and keep your child on schedule. Teneo's role: content, schedule, assessment, tutorials and reports.

Assessments through the term

• Assessments follow the assessment timetable — your child writes them at the scheduled times

• Qualified teachers set, invigilate, mark and moderate them — so you get an independent view of progress

• Results appear in MyTeneo

Use the results: they show which topics need more work before the next assessment.

End of term

• A termly promotion report from Teneo's teachers

• Time to review: what went well, what needs attention next term

• File the report in your homeschool records — it's evidence of progress for your portfolio
