An AI tutor for kids that's patient, simple and set up with you

Many AI tools are general chatbots that answer anything and hand over finished answers. For a child, that's the wrong design. Look for a tutor that:

• Uses simple language and short sentences, and introduces new words with a plain explanation.
• Teaches in small steps and checks understanding with a quick question before moving on.
• Doesn't do the homework for them, but helps them understand it.
• Stays on learning, and responds sensibly if a child says something worrying.
• Doesn't ask for personal information such as their full name, school, address or photos.

These are the rules TutorAura's tutor follows, and you can see them in action by sitting with your child for their first session.

When your child sets up their account they choose their grade, and the tutor pitches every explanation to it:

Grades	How the tutor explains
1–2	Very simple words, very short sentences, one tiny step at a time, everyday examples (toys, snacks, animals) and lots of encouragement. Avoids symbols children haven't met yet.
3–5	Simple words and short sentences, concrete examples, and a plain explanation of any new term.
6–8	Clear explanations with relatable examples, introducing subject vocabulary and checking it's understood.

If your school uses years or forms rather than grades, choose the closest grade. You can change it later in Settings.

• A parent is involved at setup. For grade 7 and below, setup asks a parent or guardian to confirm that they're setting up the account or have given permission.
• No personal details. The tutor is instructed not to ask for a child's full name, school, address, phone number or photos of themselves.
• Schoolwork only. It keeps conversations on learning. If a child seems upset or mentions being unsafe, it responds kindly and encourages them to talk to a parent, teacher or another trusted adult.
• Private work. Your child's conversations, answers and whiteboards are private to their account and never appear in search results. We don't use analytics or advertising trackers inside the student app.
• You can see what it remembers. The tutor keeps short learning notes (for example "finds carrying in addition tricky"). They're listed in Settings, where you can delete any note or clear them all.

Like any AI, it isn't perfect. Treat it like any other learning tool: set it up together, check in on how it's going, and talk about what they're learning.

To be clear about the current limits:

• There's no separate parent dashboard yet. The simplest way to stay involved is to sit in on sessions now and then, and to look at the conversations and the "What the tutor remembers" notes in your child's account.
• It doesn't replace their teacher. If your child is learning a method a particular way at school, ask them to tell the tutor, and it will use that method.
• It can make mistakes. It explains its reasoning, so if something looks wrong you can ask it to check again.

Short, regular sessions work better than long ones. Here's what a session for a grade 3 child practising multiplication might look like:

1. Start today's lesson. The tutor says hello and picks up from last time, for example the 4 times table.
2. Warm-up. One quick question, such as "What is $4 \times 3$?", with a picture in words: "4 bags with 3 apples in each".
3. One new idea. For example, that $4 \times 6$ is double $4 \times 3$.
4. Their turn. Two or three questions, one at a time, with feedback on each answer.
5. Finish on a win. A question they can definitely get right.

Turn on Read replies aloud if your child is still building reading confidence. Replies are read in a natural voice, and after the monthly allowance, in your device's own voice.

Younger children can choose Maths, English, Science, Social studies and Languages from grade 1, History and Geography from grade 3, and Computer science from grade 4. They can also ask about anything else from their class.

For maths at home, our guide on how to help your child with math at home has practical ideas for every age.

1. Create the account together and choose your child's grade and subjects.
2. Tick the parent or guardian confirmation (grade 7 and below).
3. Sit with them for the first session and try Start today's lesson.
4. Agree how often they'll use it, for example 15 minutes after school.
5. Every week or two, look at what the tutor remembers in Settings together.
