When a student gets a question wrong, our AI tutor steps in immediately — explaining the concept, showing the reasoning, and offering a hint for the next try. No extra subscription. No add-on fee. Built into every plan.
Wrong answer? The AI explains why in plain language, not just "incorrect."
Hints guide students toward the answer without giving it away — building real understanding.
AI tutoring is included in every plan. Other platforms charge $30–$50/month for similar features.
It's per family. One subscription covers up to 3 students on the monthly plan, or up to 5 students on the annual plan. No per-kid add-ons, ever.
