For parents
AI that helps your kid learn — not one that does it for them.
Safe homework helpers, family-friendly study tools, and tutors you can trust as a backup — never as a babysitter. We tell you which ones respect your kid's data.
How it works
-
Find an AI tutor that explains, instead of just answers.
-
Pick study tools you're comfortable handing to a 12-year-old.
-
Decode the AI policies your school is sending home.
-
Spot the apps designed mostly to harvest student data — and avoid them.
Prompt library
Starter prompts for you
Three prompts to try first — chosen for parents who haven't built a routine yet.
Email a teacher (the right way)
Hard email to a teacher? Get a draft that's specific, respectful, asks for one concrete thing, and doesn't sound like a complaint letter.
Homework helper that teaches, not solves
Paste a homework problem — get a Socratic question sequence you read aloud, that nudges your kid to the answer without you giving it away.
Screen time and homework balance plan
Paste your kid's evening schedule — get a concrete daily routine that separates deep work from device time, with age-matched rules and a weekly rhythm.
