e², as in twice exceptional.
Being first.
Doing follows.
Does your child refuse anything that looks like school, any formal learning? The assessment still asks to see the learning. E Squared is a private app for parents home-educating a twice-exceptional (2e) child: everything you log is sorted by the same key skills and subjects a school works to, so you can see what’s covered, plan what to offer, and have a report ready for your home education assessor.
It’s built for you. Your child doesn’t have to use it at all.
- Mam · MonTwo hours on how the Titanic was built. Drew the bulkheads from memory.
- Granny · WedBaked scones. Doubled the recipe without being asked, and got it right.
- Tutor · ThuWrote half a page about a game they're designing. Stopped when they'd had enough.
Ahead and behind, on the same day.
Twice exceptional (2e) means gifted and neurodivergent at once. Years ahead in some things, years behind in others, in the same person.
So the strengths can hide the struggle. Or the struggle hides the strengths. Sometimes the two cancel out, and a child is recorded as average while quietly drowning.
A school report squashes all of that into one line: meets expectations. E Squared keeps the whole shape.
Most systems start by asking how the child can change to fit. We start by asking what the environment could change instead.
Built around what they’d cover at school.
Not a curriculum to follow. A map to log against.
Every moment you log is tagged with a key skill and a subject. The eight key skills come from Ireland’s Junior Cycle. The subjects are the ones a school timetable would name.
So a morning baking scones can show up as Home Economics and Being Numerate. Over a year you can see which areas have plenty in them and which are quiet, and decide for yourself whether that matters.
The report uses the same structure, so an assessor sees learning in terms they already recognise, even though none of it happened at a desk.

Notice what’s happening, see it against the key skills and subjects, decide what to offer next, and have the evidence ready when someone asks.
- 01
A learning journal
A line about something that actually happened, tagged with a key skill and a subject.Learning at home rarely looks like school, so it's easy to lose. Write it down as it happens and tag it. Over months you see the whole shape: the fast parts, the slow parts, and which key skills and subjects they touched. - 02
Everyone who looks after them can add to it
Granny, a tutor, the other parent. They log what they saw.If Granny has them on Wednesdays, she knows what happened on Wednesdays. You invite her, she writes it down, and it lands in the same record. You don't have to relay it second-hand. - 03
Help deciding what to offer
See which subjects are full and which are quiet, and plan what to have ready.The record shows what they come back to, what they avoid, and which areas school would cover that haven't come up yet. That makes it easier to decide what to buy, borrow, book or leave lying around, without turning any of it into a task. - 04
Low-demand tips, where you need them
One short line, at the moment you're about to ask something of them.Written for PDA and demand-avoidant children. A quiet reminder next to the button, not a course. Dismiss it once and it stays gone. - 05
A report at the end
For your home education assessor, and for family.The report pulls in everything you and the others logged, organised by key skill and subject: the same language an assessor already uses. Nobody sits a test and nobody rebuilds a year of evidence the week before the visit.
A space of their own. Entirely optional.
Your child can have their own login. Nothing is expected of them there.
A PDA child will usually refuse anything that’s presented as a must. So it isn’t one. Their side is there for their benefit, not yours, and it works the same whether they use it daily or never.
Their wishlist.
Everything they'd like to buy, in one place, with prices and pictures. For most children this is the reason to log in.
Private by default.
Nothing they do there is shown to you. They can choose to share something, like a wishlist item. That's their call.
Optional extras.
A figure they can build, a breathing tool for when things get too much, topics they can open or ignore. None of it is required.
No expectations.
No streaks, no scores, no reminders. If they never log in, the app still does its whole job for you.
Learning opportunities, without obligations.
If your child wants to explore, you can add learning tangents to their side. Where words come from is one.
They choose what to open and when to stop. You don’t see what they did unless they share it.
No pressure to take part. No requirement to finish.
Not right now is not the same as never. Not yet is still a possibility.
Uneven is the expected shape.
Years ahead in one thing and years behind in another isn't a contradiction. It's how development runs for a 2e child.
Progress doesn't always look like progress.
Some of the most important months look, from outside, like nothing happening.
Capacity changes.
What was possible in March may not be possible in June, and that isn't regression.
Timing matters more than content.
The same offer, made three months later, can get a different answer entirely.
Difference isn't automatically deficit.
Not being able to function in a particular environment doesn't say much about whether a child can, or wants to, learn.
The environment can change too.
Asking a struggling child to keep adapting while nothing around them moves is a choice, not a law of nature.
I’m not writing about this from outside it.
I’m a PDA adult, raising PDA kids.
I know what it costs to keep performing a version of yourself that isn’t sustainable, because I’ve done it. I know what changes when nobody’s asking you to.
I built this for me first: somewhere to plan, keep track, and have the report ready, without asking anything of my kids to get there.

Frequently asked questions
- What is E Squared?
- Your child isn't the failed version of the system's ideal student. E Squared is a private app for home-educating families raising a twice-exceptional (2e) child: gifted and neurodivergent at once, years ahead in some things and years behind in others. You record real learning as it happens. It builds into an honest record of the whole shape, and a report a home education assessor can read. Your child gets their own side, with no streaks, no scores and no AI talking to them.
- Who is E Squared for?
- Home-educating families in review-based jurisdictions: Ireland, the UK, the EU, Australia and New Zealand. It is built for twice-exceptional (2e) children, and for the profiles common inside 2e: PDA (pathological demand avoidance), autistic, ADHD and AuDHD.
- Does it follow the school curriculum?
- It uses the curriculum as a map, not a plan. Everything you log is tagged with one of eight key skills from Ireland's Junior Cycle and with school subjects, like Maths, English, History or Home Economics. You can see what's covered and what's quiet. Nothing tells you what to do next.
- Does my child have to use it?
- No. E Squared does its whole job with only the adults using it. Your child can have their own private login if they want one. Nothing they do there is shared with you unless they choose to share it. You can add learning tangents for them to explore on their own, like Start a business.
- Can grandparents or a tutor add to the record?
- Yes. You invite them, and they log what they saw on the days they have your child. You control the privacy: a tutor only ever sees what the tutor added, and it's the same for grandparents. You're the only one who sees every log. When you generate a report, you choose which moments go in and which stay out.
- Is E Squared available now?
- Yes. E Squared is live. The first 10 families pay €9 a month, or €90 a year, instead of €15. Your rate stays for as long as you stay. Create your account above.
