About Homeschul
Homeschul is an AI-powered learning and home education platform that helps parents plan, organise, deliver and monitor their children’s education, in one place.
It was started by Oyedoyin Adeneye, founder of Homeschul: a mother of three with a Master’s degree in Computer Science and experience teaching Computing in a UK secondary school, who built it while looking for better ways to support a son with dyslexia.
Built in the UK, and shaped by the pilot families who use it.
The story of a mother who wanted to make learning easier for her child
By Oyedoyin Adeneye, founder of Homeschul
Every great idea has a beginning. Sometimes, it begins with a problem you cannot seem to solve.
For me, the story of Homeschul started at home, with my son.
As a mother of three, I have always been interested in my children's education. But supporting one of my children through his learning journey came with challenges that made me look at education differently.
My son has dyslexia, and I wanted to find better ways to support his learning outside the classroom. I wanted resources that would help him understand concepts, engage with lessons and learn in a way that worked for him.
But finding the right resources was not always straightforward.
Around the same period, my family had recently relocated from Nigeria to the United Kingdom. We were adjusting to a completely different education system, with a curriculum that was unfamiliar to us.
Suddenly, I was not just helping my children with their schoolwork. I was also trying to understand a new curriculum, identify what they needed to learn and find suitable resources to support them.
I found myself jumping between different educational websites, searching for videos, reading materials, worksheets and other learning resources.
One platform had something useful, another had something different, and yet another offered a resource I needed.
It was exhausting.
And somewhere along the way, I started asking myself a simple question:
Why can't all of this exist in one place?
That question became the beginning of Homeschul.
From a mother's frustration to a bigger vision
With my background in Computer Science, a Master's degree in Computer Science and experience teaching Computing in a UK secondary school, I began thinking about how technology could solve the problem I was experiencing.
What if parents could have one platform where they could organise their children's learning, generate lesson plans and access different educational resources without having to visit multiple websites?
What if, instead of spending hours preparing learning materials, parents could use AI to generate presentations, mind maps, flashcards, quizzes and other resources around a topic?
And, more importantly, what if children could interact with learning materials in ways that suited their individual learning needs?
I began exploring the possibilities of artificial intelligence and how it could be applied to education.
The idea gradually evolved from something I wanted for my own child into something I believed could help thousands of other families.
Accessibility was never an afterthought
My son's learning experience taught me something important: children do not all learn in the same way.
Sometimes, the challenge is not that a child cannot understand a subject. It is that the way the information is presented does not work for that child.
This became one of the principles behind Homeschul.
I wanted accessibility to be considered from the beginning.
That meant thinking beyond traditional reading materials and incorporating features such as read-aloud functionality with highlighting, dyslexia-friendly reading options and voice input.
I wanted to create an environment where children could engage with learning in different ways, rather than expecting every child to adapt to one method of teaching.
Why we built Homeschul
Homeschul is an AI-powered learning and homeschooling platform designed to help parents plan, organise, deliver and monitor their children's education.
It brings together tools that would otherwise require parents to navigate multiple platforms.
Parents can generate lesson plans, presentations, mind maps, flashcards, quizzes and other learning materials.
Children have access to Beamy, our AI Study Buddy, which helps them ask questions, explore topics and better understand what they are learning.
Parents can also monitor learning activities and progress through their dashboard.
But Homeschul is not exclusively for families who homeschool.
We recognise that children who attend traditional schools also need additional support at home. Some need help catching up, others need revision, while some simply need concepts explained differently.
We want to support those families too.
Building something from personal experience
Building Homeschul has been a journey of learning, experimentation and determination.
As a solo founder, I have had to navigate product development, artificial intelligence, user experience, accessibility and the realities of turning an idea into a working technology product.
There is a big difference between identifying a problem and actually building a solution.
But whenever I think about why I started, I go back to that mother who was jumping between educational websites, trying to find the right resources for her child.
I remember the frustration of having to piece everything together.
I remember wishing there was one place where I could find what I needed.
That is the problem I set out to solve.
Our vision for the future
I want Homeschul to become more than another educational technology platform.
I want it to become a trusted learning companion for families across different countries and educational systems.
A place where parents can take control of organising their children's learning without feeling overwhelmed.
A place where children can access engaging, personalised and accessible learning experiences.
And a place where technology supports parents rather than replacing their important role in their children's education.
I don't think children need more educational websites. I think parents need fewer websites to manage.
That belief remains at the heart of everything we are building.
Homeschul started with one mother's search for better learning resources for her child. Today, we are building that solution for other parents and children who may be experiencing similar challenges.
Sometimes, the product you build to solve your own problem turns out to be the solution other people have been waiting for.
And that is the story of Homeschul.

What we believe
Built for every kind of learner
Reading help, coloured overlays, read-aloud, focus mode and a picture timetable are part of the product, not an extra. Parents choose what each child needs.
Parents stay in charge
Children's accounts are managed by a parent. You decide what your children can use, you can delete your account, and you can ask us for a copy of your family's data.
AI as a helper, not the teacher
AI drafts teaching packs and powers Beamy, the study buddy, with extra safety rules for young learners. You can edit anything it makes, and it is never a substitute for your own judgement.
Honest about what it is
Homeschul supports learning and record-keeping. It does not diagnose learning differences, give legal advice or replace specialist help.
How we use AI on this website
Articles on our blog are drafted with the help of AI. New articles are read and approved by Oyedoyin Adeneye before they are published, and say “Reviewed and approved”. Older articles have not all been reviewed yet. They are a starting point for your own planning. The free learning resources (times tables, alphabet, sight words and more) are fixed, hand-built lists and are not generated by AI. Please check anything important, such as legal requirements, with your local authority or an official source.
Children’s data
We explain exactly what we collect, why, and how long we keep it in our Children’s Data Notice and Privacy Policy.
