Built for over-scheduled, curious teens. Adapts to their energy, mood, and the week they’re actually having. Founded around UK KS3 — GCSE next.
Your kid has piano on Tuesday, football Saturday, and a maths test Friday. They need a tutor that knows when to push and when to back off — not one that lectures the same way at 4pm Monday and 9pm Thursday.— A parent we spoke to, March 2026
Every session opens with a 30-second check-in. Green: push hard. Amber: short session, light topic. Red: we’ll suggest a rest and a bath. Most weeks aren’t green — we built for that.
3(x+4). What does distributing do?Four-level hint ladder. We start with a question, escalate only when stuck, and ask kids to show their working — so we catch where the misconception actually lives.
Tell the tutor your kid plays chess, runs cross-country, reads sci-fi. Every analogy reaches for things they already understand. Boring kids into maths is a choice. We don’t make it.
Every session starts with Mentor. A two-question check-in reads your kid's energy, then either points them at a tutor — or, on a Red day, suggests rest. Mentor remembers patterns across the week so it doesn't ask the same questions twice.
Socratic to a fault. Pi runs the 4-level hint ladder, insists on Show Your Working, and is fluent in the misconceptions teachers see most often — sign errors, fraction-as-division, “the variable is the answer.”
PEEZL paragraphs and Reader Response — close reading without the spoilers.
Systems thinking and scale bridging — from cell to organism to ecosystem.
Predict, Observe, Explain — physics learned through guessing first.
Models first, equations second — atoms before stoichiometry.
Place + process — maps tied to the news your kid actually sees.
Cause & consequence, with primary sources teens can actually read.
Pencil before keyboard — algorithms drawn out before they're typed.
For kids who already love maths — past papers with elegant solutions.
3(x + 4)The brief: 18 minutes before piano. Pi opens with what Rina already knows, asks her to show working, and only confirms once she’s done the move herself.
This is a real transcript from a Year 8 trial session, replayed at reading speed.
If you’re tired, we’ll suggest you rest.
If you’re sharp, we’ll push hard.
If you’re stuck, we’ll give you a hint — not a solution.
Ask a parent to start the trial. They set it up, you do the learning. We don’t market to teenagers, and we never will.

Built for my daughter, now sharing with yours.
I built this in our Obsidian vault for Rina — she’s in Year 8, age 12. An avid reader, Grade 7 piano, and cross-country runner. The generic AI homework helpers we tried either did her work for her or felt like a quiz machine that didn’t know it was 9pm on a Thursday.
So I built tutors that adapt to her week — the football matches, the piano lessons, the Friday tests, the bad nights. After three months of using them with Rina, I’m sharing them with the first 100 families. If you’re family number 47, please email me when something feels off. I’ll actually read it.
