lurna identifies where your child could fall behind, before they do.
Mia's next steps● On track
Growing — building this step by step
Strong — this is looking steady
Today's BriefingDaily
Today Mia is working on 3-digit subtraction with regrouping. She's been getting about 72% correct, so the system will start with simpler problems to rebuild confidence before progressing.
"Can you show me what 342 minus 178 looks like using the blocks? Which column should we start with?"
Why we built this
We believe no Australian child should have to move on before they're ready.
Not because the week ended. Not because the class did. The system moves on - because it has to. That's not a failure of teaching. It's a structural constraint. But at home, there's no reason to accept it. lurna gives every child the time they actually need - and tells you the moment they've truly got it.
How it works
Three steps.No gaps left behind.
Your child doesn't move on from anything until they can show they've got it — not just once, but reliably.
Diagnose
We find exactly where the gap is — not a general area, the specific skill. A short assessment maps every mastered skill and every one that needs work.
Learn
Daily 20-minute sessions adapt in real time to your child's level — always in the sweet spot. Challenging enough to grow, never pitched so high it discourages.
Master
A skill is only marked complete at 90% across multiple sessions — not 'mostly okay'. Spaced repetition checks it holds later. When it sticks, they move on.
Five subjects. Taught until they've truly got it.
Australian curriculum-aligned. We diagnose first, then teach to mastery. Your child doesn't move on from anything until they can show they've got it, not just once but reliably.
Mathematics
Number, algebra, measurement and geometry. Solid arithmetic, and the reasoning behind it.
Reading
Decoding, fluency, comprehension. Texts pitched to where your child actually is.
Spelling
Phonics-first, with the patterns and rules that actually generalise across new words.
Grammar
Sentence structure, punctuation, and writing that reads naturally aloud.
The fifth subject
AI Foundations
- How AI makes decisions, and where it can't
- Spotting hallucinations and checking facts
- When to trust AI, when to ask a human
We're opening to Australian families carefully.
Places are limited while we make sure the experience is right. Apply now to be among the first families in - we'll let you know as soon as your place is ready.
One-to-one tutoring has always produced the best outcomes. Research has confirmed it for decades. But at $80 an hour, it's been out of reach for most Australian families.
We built lurna for everyone else.
