What teachers say about Monsha
We proudly stay close to our teachers, listen well and often—and we’re grateful that they notice.
I've shared this tool to my colleagues here in Nigeria and they are already falling in love with it.
I have utilized your tool to successfully set my exam questions from Grade 7 to Grade 9. My colleagues are amazed at the convenience, accuracy and brevity of my questions. I actually do use Monsha for everything. From baseline assessment to lesson planning to formative evaluations and of course to summative assessment. The Best thing about your work is that we have another freedom to just feed this tool with the right information and Boom! Your questions of whatever kind are generated!

This tool is fantastic! It is very intuitive as far as the prompt is concerned.
I like the options to add links, content, previous resources, and especially the YouTube feature.
I asked you to add a feature to generate slides for a presentation or an outline and notes for adding to a slide deck, which you did! This really makes it more of an all-in-one-stop shop for me now. I do a lot of presentations and professional development and always have a short slide deck.

I was fortunate to chat directly with you guys (creators). Every suggestion I shared was received with enthusiasm, you worked on it and got back sincerely.
I feel like contributing to the development of the tool haha. This is 10 times better tool now than when I first used it. But please add options for an annual plan, a didactic sequence, or a school project to give teachers more comprehensive planning tools. I have been impressed with how you improve it based on the actual needs of educators. And kept it clean and simple.
