Our story

Built by a father and son,for every student who's ever been stuck

Where it started

Saturday morning, long before I was made.

“In the 1980s, I spent my Saturday mornings at a West Indian Saturday school. Our parents and grandparents set them up because too many Black children were being written off at school.

Those Saturday mornings were where people expected us to succeed. Examzi carries that same belief to every student, whoever and wherever they are.”

Stephen Watson, co-founder and CEO

Years later

Years later, Stephen ran places like this.

“I've spent my career running alternative provision and SEND education, working with young people the system had given up on. I've seen what changes when someone finally takes the time to explain.”

Ten o'clock at night

Ten o'clock at night. Stuck.

“I know what it's like to be stuck on a question at ten o'clock at night with nobody to talk it through with.”

Zac Watson, co-founder
That's where I come in.

“Every young person deserves someone to explain it, without judgement and without the cost of a tutor. So at 16, I built Examzi.”

Who stands behind it

Zac builds the technology. Experienced adults make sure it's safe, accurate and right for young people.

These are the people who look after me.
  • Stephen Watson, co-founder and CEO, is accountable for Examzi. He brings his years of running alternative provision and SEND education.

  • Qualified teachers at Kings Centre of Learning, a specialist SEND education provider, review pupils' progress for schools, councils and children's homes.

  • Designated Safeguarding Leads receive any safeguarding alert within 10 minutes, 24 hours a day.

  • Your data is protected: it is held in Europe, anonymised before it reaches the AI, and never used to train AI models.

Examzi and Kings Centre of Learning, who supply the teachers, are connected businesses. We say so up front.

What we believe

Ask me ten times. I won't sigh.
  • Every student deserves a tutor,

    not just the ones whose families can afford £30 an hour.

  • Asking for help should never feel embarrassing.

    Ask the same question ten times; nobody sighs.

  • Technology should support teachers, not replace them.

  • Be honest about AI.

    Our tutor always tells you it's AI.

Shall we start?

Where we are today

Kings Centre of Learning already uses Examzi with its pupils. Examzi covers 11+, GCSE and A level in the UK, the SAT in the US, and university courses for nine degrees.

It's made in the UK.
