University retention

Get every first-year across the line.

Finish Line meets under-prepared students where they actually are, routes them through the foundational skills they’re missing, and gives your teachers the data to step in.

The learner app

What leadership sees — is it working, and where to focus.

Under-prepared students enter programs pitched far above where they actually are. They fail, lose heart, and leave.

The remediation that works is small-group, teacher-supported, and personalised to each learner. Finish Line makes it scale: every student gets a personal path through the exact skills they’re missing, teachers see who needs help with what, and leadership sees growth they can verify.

How it works

From the missing foundations to proven progress.

Your CourseUnderstand statisticsAveragesPercentagesReading graphsFractionsDivisionDecimalsreverse-mapped from your course — every prerequisite skill, then its lessons, written for you

Build the foundations they're missing

01

We start from your own course material and map every building block it quietly assumes into a connected skill tree, then build a short lesson, practice, and a held-out check for each — drafted with AI, reviewed by educators.

What makes it work

Effective, honest, and built to scale.

Learning that lands

  • One winnable skill at a time, at the level the diagnostic found
  • Every skill: a worked example, guided practice, then a held-out check-up
  • Mastered skills come back for review before they fade

Motivation built in

  • Effort earns XP: every genuine attempt counts, right or wrong
  • Streaks, levels, and a collection of runners to unlock
  • A journey map to the finish line, with each stage celebrated

Proof you can trust

  • A skill counts as mastered only when its check-up is passed
  • Growth is measured against each student's day-one baseline
  • Starting knowledge and earned mastery are always shown separately
  • Every number traces down to the exact answers a student gave

Built for scale

  • Runs in the browser on any phone, nothing to install
  • Each role sees only its own scope, enforced at the data layer
  • New courses and cohorts run on the same engine and dashboards

Everyone in the loop

Everyone sees what they need to act.
