Software for
Real Outcomes.
We are an early-stage EdTech company based in Liverpool. We believe technology should make important learning accessible, engaging, and measurable.
Solving the
Generic Gap.
We started TecSmiths because we saw a common pattern. Schools and educators are asked to deliver critical life skills, but the tools available are often too generic, too passive, or too difficult to scale.
“Alongside our product work, we operate as a software development team that designs and builds web apps, platforms, and AI-enabled learning experiences.”
Our Core Belief
Shipping software isn’t the goal. Shipping something that works for real users is.
Transforming Life-Skills
Engaging Delivery
Learning experiences that pupils actually want to complete — and remember.
Age-Appropriate
Design that feels safe, relatable, and inclusive for all ages.
Measurable
Analytics that allow educators to track, report, and celebrate progress.
Bridging the Gap
In many learning environments, important content is delivered as a one-off session. Passive delivery reduces engagement and long-term retention.
“I learned it once.”
“I can use it when it matters.”
This is why we invest heavily in interactive learning design, gamification, and teacher analytics.
Meet AidQuest
A story-led, gamified eLearning platform for first aid training (Ages 5-16). It reflects how we build: learning intent first, engagement through story, and results through data.

Our Values
Learning impact over “features”
More features don’t equal better learning. We build what improves outcomes.
Clarity over complexity
We communicate clearly and avoid unnecessary technical noise.
Trust by Design
Privacy and security are non-negotiable, especially for children’s products.
Measurable Progress
We build analytics loops that support continuous improvement.
Who We Work With
Teams who want to build something real—and keep improving it. We work best with EdTech organizations, startups building MVPs, and SMEs modernizing internal tools.
“If you want a team that says ‘yes’ to everything, we are not the right fit. If you want a team that builds smart, we are.”
