The tutoring platform · grades 8–12 & undergraduate
They earn every answer. You see every gap.
Spin up a course with a join code, upload your real material, and the whole loop runs grounded in it — Gated Notes, a Socratic tutor that won't hand over answers, quizzes, and AI grading. Works solo, too: students can self-study on their own uploads.
Socratic Tutor
Stress-tests understanding without handing over the answers.
Struggle Analytics
Live heatmaps show exactly where your class is stuck.
AI Autograder
Rubric-based grading with instant formative feedback.
Self-Study Spaces
Students upload material to generate personalized quizzes and notes.
The signature engine · Gated Notes
Every section earns its reveal. Scroll through one.
Step 1 · The gate
The explanation is locked.
A section of real course notes ends at a gate: a question the student must answer before reading on. Skimming stops here — there's no scroll-past.
Step 2 · The commitment
The student commits a guess.
Right or wrong doesn't matter yet — what matters is committing. Writing an answer first is what makes the explanation stick when it opens.
Step 3 · The reveal
The gate opens — with feedback on their answer.
The explanation reveals, and AI feedback responds to what the student actually wrote — confirming the mechanism they named, or correcting the one they missed.
Step 4 · The final gate
The last gate demands a new example.
Recognizing the textbook case won't open it. The final gate always asks the student to construct something new with the concept — the difference between reading and knowing.
Gated Notes · Photosynthesis Gate 1 of 4
Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light and reflects green. The absorbed energy drives the light reactions inside the thylakoid membrane…
Answer before the reveal
Before reading on — why do plants look green to us?
The rest of the loop
Socratic Tutor
Dialogue that stress-tests what a student claims to know.
Gated Notes builds the concept; the Socratic Tutor stress-tests it. A streaming tutor grounded in the uploaded material answers questions with better questions — and never just hands over the solution. A second tutor, Synapse AI, explains directly when that's the right move.

Struggle Analytics
See where the class is stuck, topic by topic, in real time.
Every quiz and check-in updates a cohort view of mastery per topic, so you can shape the next lesson, quiz, or exam around actual gaps. Preview students are excluded, so the numbers reflect your real class.

AI Autograder
Rubric-based grading with instant formative feedback.
Draft rubrics with AI, grade written submissions against them, and handle regrade requests in a full gradebook with CSV export. Students get a pre-submission self-check that never sees your reference solution — by enforced design, not policy.
AI Autograder · Problem Set 4 · rubric
Your interpretation says the p-value is "the chance the null is true" — revisit what it actually conditions on. One point recoverable on regrade.
Knowledge Map
Assessments continuously update a per-topic mastery map — strong, moderate, needs improvement — so students always know what to study next.
Study Studio
One upload becomes smart notes, flashcards, an AI podcast, and an AI video overview — generated from the course's own material, never generic content.
For the teacher
Everything above feeds one live view of your class — and a grading workflow that gives evenings back.

Running a pilot
Three steps, one term.
No procurement maze — a pilot is a conversation, a join code, and a term of real data.
Book a pilot
Tell us about your class and we'll set you up — the teacher portal is free to start, so a pilot costs nothing but a conversation.
Onboard your class
Create a course, upload your real slides, notes, and readings, and share one join code. Students are in within minutes.
Review the analytics
Watch Struggle Analytics as students work — then shape the next lesson, quiz, or assignment around what the class actually needs.
Pricing
Starts free — for students and teachers.
Students learn free forever. Teachers get the full portal free with up to 2 enrolled students, then Pro adds a small per-student rate as the class grows. Institutions are custom-quoted.
- Free student plan
- Teacher portal free up to 2 students
- Students never pay to join
Frequently asked questions
Good questions, straight answers.
The things teachers, students, and administrators actually ask us — answered without the fine-print runaround.
Full details live in our privacy policy.
Have a different question? Contact usDo we need an institution account to start?+
No. Individual teachers and students sign up directly — a teacher creates a course and shares a join code, and students can even study solo on their own uploaded material. Institutional rollouts add oversight and administration on top; talk to us about a pilot.
Will the AI just give students the answers?+
By design, no. The Socratic Tutor teaches by questioning and never states the answer; Gated Notes make students commit their own answer before an explanation opens; and the assignment self-check never has access to the teacher's reference solution, so it can't leak it.
How does AI grading work?+
In two stages. The AI grades each submission against the rubric the moment it's turned in, so students get a grade and specific feedback instantly instead of waiting weeks. The professor or TA then reviews and posts the official grade, and students can file regrade requests resolved in the gradebook.
Where does our data live?+
Student learning records — profiles, courses, quiz attempts, and knowledge states — are stored in Canada. AI features (retrieval over uploaded material, tutor conversations, tutor memory) are processed on Google Cloud, and all data remains within Canada and the US.
Is our data used to train AI models?+
No. Course material, conversations, and student work are never used to train AI models — ours or Google's.
What AI actually powers the tutors?+
Production-grade Gemini models on Google Cloud's enterprise Vertex AI platform — no experimental or preview models. Every tutoring reply is screened by independent guardrails on the way in and the way out, before a student ever sees it.
What happens when we delete a course or an account?+
Deletion is real deletion. Removing a course — or an account — removes its lessons, uploads, assignments, conversations, and tutor memory, including the copies the AI features use, for every member of that course.
What does it cost?+
Students start free, and teachers get the full portal free with up to 2 enrolled students. Paid plans — student Pro, the per-student teacher model, and institutional pricing — are laid out on the pricing page.
What material can we upload?+
Documents (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, text, and more), spreadsheets, images, audio, and video. Uploads are parsed and indexed so every tutor reply, quiz, and study aid stays grounded in your actual course — not generic content.
