You know the conversation. Parent picks up their child from coaching and asks, "What did you learn today?" The answer is almost always the same: "Nothing." Or "I don't remember." Or the classic, "Same stuff."
The parent is frustrated. The child is annoyed. And you, as the institute, have no way to bridge that gap. Until now.
"I feel like I'm paying fees but have no idea what's actually being taught. Last month my friend's child in another batch was already done with 5 chapters while we're still on 3."

The trust gap
When parents don't see progress, they assume the worst. The institute becomes a black box. And black boxes don't inspire confidence.
The Live Progress Tracker
Not a monthly report. Not a quarterly update. Live. As in, right now.
This is what parents see when they open the CodePex Parent App.
- ✓ Exactly how much of the syllabus is done
- ✓ What topics were covered recently
- ✓ What's coming up next
- ✓ Teacher notes on class progress
No more "I don't know." No more guessing. Just clear, visual progress.
Where the numbers come from
It's not magic. It's just teachers doing what they already do—but now it connects to parents.
- Parents: "What's being taught?"
- Institute: "We'll send a monthly report"
- Report arrives, already outdated
- Trust erodes slowly
- Parents: Open app, see 68% done
- Know exactly what was covered
- Can ask specific questions
- Trust grows daily
What parents actually see (the full picture)
- They can ask specific questions
- They know when to expect tests
- They see if batch is falling behind
- They feel involved
What teachers need to do
Almost nothing extra. Seriously.
Open app, tap the topics covered today. Takes 15 seconds.
"Students struggled with this" — parents appreciate the honesty.
Parents see updates instantly. No reports to write.
Reality check: Teachers already know what they taught. This just asks them to tap a few buttons instead of forgetting it.
For the first time in 7 years of my son's coaching, I actually know what's happening in class. I saw yesterday that they finished Kinematics and started Electrostatics today. I could ask him about it at dinner. He was shocked that I knew.

Parents can compare (in a good way)
Not to create competition—to create healthy awareness.
This isn't about shaming. It's about transparency. Parents appreciate knowing where things stand.
What institutes didn't expect
The progress tracker did more than just inform parents.
Knowing that parents can see progress kept them on track with syllabus.
Enquiry calls about "what's being taught" dropped by 60%.
Parents who see progress are less likely to switch institutes.
A quick note on how it's set up
In CodePex, it's a one-time thing per course:
- Upload your syllabus (or use our template)
- Assign topics to batches
- That's it. Teachers just mark done as they go.
Parents see progress automatically. No reports to send. No PDFs to email.
