Why Kimberly Chooses Tailo to Make Uni Work Manageable

Balancing parenthood, disability, and university – Tailo makes it possible.

The Challenge

 

Studying Costume Design for Film and Television at Falmouth University, Kimberley juggles a demanding academic workload alongside life as a disabled student and parent. With ADHD and Lupus, she faced frequent fatigue, difficulty maintaining focus, and challenges processing long academic readings.

With seminar readings, coursework, hospital visits, and childcare all competing for her time and energy, academic reading quickly became overwhelming.

“I’d lose my place or get distracted before I could absorb anything. It was draining, especially when you had to sift through pages just to pull out a single quote.”

The Solution

 

Kimberley was introduced to Tailo through her DSA assessor, and she quickly saw its power. “It’s like having a research assistant,” she said. “Tailo scans and summarises large texts into easy, quick-to-read bullet points.” Tailo’s AI-powered page summariser became her go-to tool, especially for weekly seminar readings, giving her a helpful overview she could dive deeper into as needed.

Kimberley now uses Tailo to stay on top of academic reading without sacrificing time she needs for her health, family, or rest.
