"Parents often come to our open days confused about what GPA scores mean for their child's standing. I now send them the link to this guide before the meeting — they arrive with the action checklist half completed and already know which questions to ask. It saves enormous time."

Daniel Kowalski
Form Tutor, University of Gdańsk
★★★★★

"The per-subject accordion format is exactly right — parents don't need to read a wall of text, they click on the subject they're worried about and get a clear explanation with two or three practical next steps. The PDF is professional enough to file in the student's record."

AD
Amara Diallo
Student Services Coordinator, Université de Dakar
★★★★★

"We use four different grading systems across our partner schools. Having all four in one tool means I can use the same process for every student regardless of which institution issued the report. The Distinction system explanation is particularly well constructed."

Sophie Blanchard
Parent Liaison Officer, Sciences Po Paris
★★★★☆

"The areas-of-concern checkboxes are clever — when I tick 'Attendance' and 'Study Habits', those specific action steps appear in the checklist automatically. I used to spend 20 minutes writing those recommendations manually. This does it in seconds."
