The origin story
From UNSW IT to BetterGrades.
Before building BetterGrades, Tawanda worked in UNSW IT’s Education Solutions Team. He worked with analysts, testers, and developers, across a range of education technology projects.
That work shaped his view of useful education technology. The best tools respect the context people work in, make the next action clear, and earn trust through dependable details.
BetterGrades brings that thinking to exam preparation. It helps students turn lectures, readings, and past exams into quizzes and flashcards, review weak topics, and choose what to study next.
The BetterGrades approach
Make the next study action easier to see.
Tawanda designed BetterGrades around a simple study loop: use your course material, practise recall, then review the topics that need more attention.
