Learner progress

Every lesson starts where the last one finished

Agree what to work on before the learner leaves, and it is waiting for you when the next lesson begins. No notebook, no searching through old notes.

  1. The end of a lesson on an instructor’s phone: what went well, what needs more practice, and the next lesson focus.

    1End of the lesson

    Agree what comes next

    In the lesson review, note what went well and what needs more practice, star the skills to work on and write the next lesson focus together. The focus is saved to the learner’s record, and the learner sees it in their own app.

    • What went well and what needs more practice, in your own words
    • Skills starred to work on next time
    • A written next lesson focus the learner can see
  2. The next lesson’s review on an instructor’s phone: Roundabouts S, Roundabouts R and Observation starred for focus, and each skill with its previous score.

    2Next lesson

    Open the lesson, see the plan

    The agreed focus is already there when you open the next lesson’s review: the starred skills with their previous scores, and the focus you wrote together.

    • Starred skills carried over
    • Each skill’s previous score beside it
    • The written focus ready to update
  3. A lesson on an instructor’s phone with the I have arrived button and the optional one-time location box.

    3At pickup

    Tap ARRIVED

    One tap records when you arrived. If you choose, and your phone allows it, a one-time location is attached as supporting evidence.

    • Arrival time recorded by the server
    • Recorded once and kept as it was; a later note sits beside it, never over it
    • Location only with permission, seen only by authorised staff, never by learners or parents
  4. A learner’s progress on their phone: tuition so far, the next lesson focus, focus areas and each skill’s score.

    4After the lesson

    Progress updates itself

    Score the competencies covered, add your reflections and agree the next focus. The development report and the learner’s own progress update straight away.

    • Competencies scored 1 to 5
    • Reflections, private unless you share them
    • Development report updated
    A learner’s development report in TUZO HQ: tuition so far, lessons recorded, skills assessed, what to work on next and each skill’s history.

Security and privacy

Safe with your learners’ data and your money

  • Each school’s data kept apart

    Every record belongs to one school, and the separation is enforced by the server, not just hidden on screen.

  • Access by role

    Staff see only what their permissions allow. Instructors’ own earnings stay private, even from the school.

  • Two-step sign-in

    Staff confirm each new sign-in with a code by email or an authenticator app.

  • Encrypted contact details

    Learners’ and enquirers’ contact details are stored encrypted.

  • Direct Debit through GoCardless

    Your TUZO HQ subscription is paid by Direct Debit through GoCardless. No card details are taken.

  • Built for DVSA tests

    Practical and mock tests, DL25 faults, ADI and PDI badges, standards checks and CPD.
