The CBC revision app Kenya’s parents have been asking for.

Why CBC revision is different

The CBC rewards understanding, practice, and application — not cramming. That’s good news for learners, but hard on parents: the methods aren’t the ones we studied, the terms are new, and a revision book can’t answer a question. Many families buy more books, add tuition, and still meet a surprise on the report card, because the gap was never visible in time.

What a good CBC revision app should do

• Follow the syllabus, strand by strand. Revision that contradicts the classroom confuses a child. Kitabu’s lessons and quizzes mirror the CBC structure — see how alignment works.
• Start at the real level. A free ≈15-minute check-up finds where your child actually is — even if a Grade 8 learner is stuck on Grade 6 fractions — and builds up from there.
• Explain patiently, in English or Kiswahili. Your child asks by typing or talking, and can ask again and again. No judgment, no rushing.
• Show the parent. A daily dashboard plus a Friday WhatsApp message: what was studied, what improved, what still needs help.
• Work on real Kenyan phones. Downloaded books and saved lessons work offline; the live tutor needs a connection.

What it costs

KSh 250 per month, per learner — less than one revision book — paid with M-Pesa. It’s free to start with the diagnostic, no card needed. Full details on the pricing page.
