School Unstuck AI-personalized tutoring, grounded in learning science Grades 6–12

Safe by designThe AI tutor only ever helps with your child's real schoolwork — nothing else. It stays locked to their actual classes and subjects: it won't give personal or life advice, won't wander off-topic if a student tries, and can't be talked into doing the work for them — it's built to guide your child to their own answers.

For every student — from stuck to soaring

Your child's own
Launchpad
for school.

Getting unstuck is just the start — their Launchpad is where they take off. 🚀

The hardest part was never the bad grade. It's watching a smart, capable kid shut down over homework and quietly decide they're "just not good at this" — and not knowing how to reach them. They don't need to be smarter. They need school built around how they learn, and someone patient in their corner every single day. Give them that, and the kid who dreaded school starts to believe they can do it — and the kid who was already strong pulls even further ahead.

Science test in 6 days — that's plenty of runway.Let's do one easy 10-minute warm-up today so future-you relaxes.

A look at the platform — built and named for each child.

Whether your child is having a hard time, procrastinating, or already strong and wants to get ahead — it meets them exactly where they are.

The real problem

Your kid isn't lazy, and they're not a lost cause. They're overwhelmed — far more capable than school is showing, with no real system for the days it's just them and the work.

What changes it

Even a great tutor is one expensive hour a week — when the test is really the sum of all the other days. Between sessions, kids are mostly on their own. What actually changes a kid is a system built around how they learn that shows up every single day — explaining a hard idea a second way, then a third, with an analogy or a memory trick, until it finally clicks — always patient, always encouraging, and there any time your child needs it: before practice, after practice, late at night, or first thing before a test.

See it working

Built from your child's own class materials — organized, quizzed, and kept on track.

Here's a real look, using an actual 9th-grade science lesson.

A 5-minute test-day recap

The night before, their own notes become a short audio summary — to listen to on the walk or drive to school.

02
An AI tutor who teaches, never just answers
It teaches instead of just answering — an analogy, a picture, whatever finally clicks. And your child can just talk to it, hands-free — no typing.
✦ Study session
wait if plants MAKE oxygen… why does my teacher say they also NEED it? so confused 😩
✦ Your AI tutor
Ooh, this trips up a LOT of people — good catch. Let's use money. 💵 Photosynthesis is the plant earning (making sugar + oxygen in sunlight). Respiration is it spending (burning that sugar for energy) — 24/7, even at night.
so it makes more than it spends during the day?
✦ Your AI tutor
Exactly! 🎯 Memory trick: photosynthesis = payday, respiration = the bills. Quick check — what happens to a plant left in a dark closet for a week?
it runs out of… money? like it starves?
✦ Your AI tutor
🔥 Yes — no sun, no earning, it burns through its savings and starves. You just connected two whole units.

03
Practice — not a test
Low-pressure questions from their own class, so it sticks before test day.
✦ Warm-up · Science
Photosynthesis — quick 3
1. What three things does a plant need to make its food?
✓ Sunlight, water & carbon dioxide
2. What does photosynthesis produce?
✓ Glucose (sugar) + oxygen
3. Where in the cell does it happen?
✓ The chloroplast

No score. No streak. Just "let's make sure it stuck."

Flashcards from their own class

Every session auto-builds clean notes and flashcards from their real material — ready before test day.

On a real problem

Snap a photo of a hard problem — it walks them to the answer.

Your child uploads a picture of any worksheet — even a page the teacher handed out. The AI tutor guides them step by step, and never just hands over the answer.

📸 Uploaded from tonight's homework
Solve for x:
3(x + 4) = 27
…I don't even know where to start 😩

👀 Parents can see the exact photo their child uploaded.

✦ Working through it together
✦ Your AI tutor
See that 3 outside the parentheses? It multiplies everything inside. What does 3(x + 4) become?
um… 3x + 12?
Exactly! Now we want x by itself. What could we do to both sides to cancel the + 12?
subtract 12?
Yes — that leaves 3x = 15. Last step is all yours: what's 15 ÷ 3?
5!
That's it — x = 5, and you reached the last step yourself. 🎯
🎤Talk or type your answer…
It shows the method, one step at a time — but the final answer is always theirs to reach. That's how it builds confidence instead of dependence.
📈

And it adapts to your child. When they're ready, it steps up the challenge — but if they'd rather keep practicing at the same level, it gives them that too. Harder, easier, or more of the same: it adjusts to what your child actually needs, so they're never bored and never crushed.

The anti-cramming engine

It ends the last-minute cram — for good.

The #1 reason a smart kid bombs a test? They cram the night before, then forget it by the weekend. This fixes that at the root — with spaced repetition.

It remembers what your child learned — and what they got wrong. Then it brings the right thing back at the right moment, in tiny daily doses, just as they're about to forget it:

Learn it→ Tomorrow→ In 3 days→ In a week→ Before the test

Each review makes it stick longer. What they miss comes back sooner; what they've mastered comes back rarely. It lands in long-term memory — so it's still there for the midterm and the final, in ten minutes a day instead of one panicked all-nighter.

✦ Reading time
can you just summarize chapter 3 of The Giver? 😩 idk if i even like this book tbh, it's kinda weird
✦ Your AI tutor
Ha — fair, the world is strange at first. 😊 But I can't just hand you the summary (won't stick, and your teacher will know). Give me one thing that happens with the new baby — just one.
idk… a baby named Gabriel comes to stay with Jonas's family i guess. that's all i got
✦ Your AI tutor
That's a real start — way more than "idk." 👊 Now notice this: the book keeps mentioning that Gabriel and Jonas both have rare pale eyes, when almost everyone else's are dark. Why do you think the author keeps pointing that out?
i don't know 😐 isn't it just describing them?
✦ Your AI tutor
Could be — but authors rarely repeat a detail for no reason. Think of a movie: if the camera keeps zooming in on one thing, it usually means something. If almost everyone's the same and only two people aren't… what does that make those two?
…different? like they stand out i guess?
✦ Your AI tutor
🎯 That's it — and that's an inference: the pale eyes hint Jonas is different, maybe special. You didn't memorize that, you worked it out from the clues — which is exactly the skill the test is after.

9th gradePhysics · inertia
✦ Study session
i don't get inertia 😩 why do i jerk forward when the car stops fast?
✦ Your AI tutor
Perfect real-life question. Newton's first law: things want to keep doing what they're doing. The car stops — but you were still moving forward, so your body keeps going till the seatbelt catches you.
can you show me a picture? i'm a visual person 👀
✦ Your AI tutor
Of course — here you go:
The car stops — your body keeps going. That's inertia.
ohh that actually makes sense now
✦ Your AI tutor
🎯 And to stop a heavier passenger, the belt needs more force — that's F = ma. You just used Newton's second law without even noticing.
wait so a big truck is harder to stop than a bike?
✦ Your AI tutor
Exactly — more mass means more inertia, so it takes more force to change its motion. That's why an 18-wheeler needs way more road to stop than you do on a bike. Same law, bigger numbers.
so inertia is basically "heavy stuff is stubborn" 😂
✦ Your AI tutor
🎯 Honestly? Perfect way to remember it — the more mass, the more it resists any change in motion. You just explained inertia in your own words, which means it's actually stuck now.

12th gradeAP Psychology
✦ Study session
what's the difference between classical and operant conditioning?? AP psych is killing me 😩
✦ Your AI tutor
Classic mix-up. Anchor each to a picture. Classical = Pavlov's dogs: a bell rings before food, over and over, till the bell alone makes them drool — an automatic reflex linked to a new trigger. No choice.
ok so classical = automatic reactions?
✦ Your AI tutor
Right. Operant is choices + consequences: study → get an A → study more. Memory trick: Classical = reflex, Operant = choice.
so a treat for good behavior is operant?
✦ Your AI tutor
🎯 Exactly — reward shaping a choice. Easy points on the exam now.
wait then what's my phone buzzing making me anxious? that's not a choice
✦ Your AI tutor
Ooh, great catch — that one's classical. The buzz got paired with stressful texts over and over, till the buzz alone sets off the feeling. No decision, just a learned reflex — Pavlov's dogs, but it's you.
ohh so operant = i choose, classical = i just react
✦ Your AI tutor
🎯 That's the whole distinction in one line — put that on your notecard. You just turned the topic that was "killing you" into free points.

More than an AI tutor

A whole study system — not just homework help.

Under the hood it does far more than answer questions. Here's what your child actually gets.

👤 What we know about Emma
• Strong reader, freezes on word problems
• The picture clicks before the rule
• Best in short 15-min bursts

It gets to know your child

It learns where they're strong, where they get stuck, and whether they need the acronym, the picture, or the real-world example — then leads with what actually works for them. Not a generic app that treats every kid the same.

🗓️ This semester
📄 Upload syllabus
✨ Map my semester
✓ 12 dates added — quizzes, essays & the midterm

It plans out what's coming

Upload the syllabus — or sync their class calendar (Google Classroom, Canvas) — and it maps every test and deadline. No syllabus? Your child just adds what the teacher announces. It's always as current as what goes in.

No grades — just effort.

You can see the effort — anytime

Check in and see how they're really doing: time spent, whether they prepared, quizzes taken, reviews kept up — never a grade or a scoreboard. Enough to know they're truly doing the work, and to cheer them on.

🎨 Make it yours
Name it:"Queen"
Colors:

It's unmistakably theirs

Your child picks the colors and gives it a name — one student called hers "Queen." So it never feels like a homework app; it feels like a coach in their corner, there the moment they open it.

It reads their notes back to them

The night before a test, it turns your child's notes into a short audio summary — so they can listen on the walk or drive to school and arrive warmed up, hands-free. Nothing else does this.

Who does what

You're the cheerleader. We're the expert behind the scenes.

It works because everyone has a clear, simple role — and none of them is "nag the kid."

Your child

Does the work

Uploads their own materials, does the daily ten minutes, and drives it. It's theirs — which is exactly how it builds independence.

You, the parent

Stays in the loop

Peek at the progress view whenever you like, keep them accountable, and cheer them on. You hold the daily role — not us.

Us — School Unstuck

Builds it & keeps it sharp

We build your child's platform and personally fine-tune it as their needs change — adjusting the plan, the pace, and what it focuses on. We stay close to the work behind the scenes, so it keeps fitting your child.

How it works

Simple, personal, and hands-off for you.

1

We get them started

We set everything up and walk you both through how it works — no required meeting; a relaxed chat with your child only if they'd like one.

2

They tell it about themselves

Your child does a spoken onboarding — in their own words — about what stresses them out and how they actually like to learn. No typing, just talking.

3

We build their Launchpad

From what they share, we build their own private platform: their classes, their materials, and an AI tutor that already knows them.

4

We fine-tune it as they grow

We keep it sharp behind the scenes as their classes and needs change — while it supports them every day. Nothing for you to manage.

Simple to start

What your child needs — that's the whole list.

No special equipment, no expensive gadgets, nothing to buy — most kids already have everything they need.

💻

A computer or laptop

Any one you have — Mac or Windows, nothing fancy. The study sessions happen here, on a bigger screen where your child can really focus.

📱

A phone helps too

The audio summaries play right on their phone — so your child can review on the walk to school, during a break, or right before the test. Most kids already have one.

🌐

Internet & a web browser

Chrome, Safari, or Edge — whatever they already use. That's it.

✅

Nothing to install

No software, no special program, no downloads. It's a private website your child logs into and starts — so it works on any computer.

📄

Their class materials

They upload their own — a worksheet, notes, a whole textbook, or just a phone photo of a chapter they need to read. That's their job, and the platform does the rest.

🔒

A secure login you control

You hold the login — so the account stays yours, can't be logged out or handed off, and no one else can get in. Your child just opens it and works. (More parent controls coming.)
