What Actually Happens in a Tutoring Session

Giving Your Child Their Own Safe Login
You can give your child their own username and password for aitutors.me — one you create and control. It opens only their learner home, never billing or a sibling's data. Here's how and why.
Two Views, One Account: What Your Child Sees vs What You See
aitutors.me gives you a parent dashboard and your child a learner home of their own — one account, two views. See exactly what each side shows, and how to preview your child's screen.
One Subscription, Every Child in the House
One aitutors.me subscription covers every child in your household — each with their own progress, points and subjects. Here's how to add a child and switch between them.
Choosing the Right Subjects for Each Child
With aitutors.me you pick which subjects each child studies, and their tutor is limited to just those. Here's how to choose well, why less is often more, and how to change them.
How Heddy Points Reward Effort, Not Just Right Answers
Heddy Points reward your child for genuinely engaging in a tutoring session — showing their working, sticking with a hard problem — not just for getting answers right. Here's how they work.
The Seven-Owl Ladder: What Each Level Means
Heddy Points build into seven owl levels — from Elf Owl to Heddy's Own — that only ever climb. Here's what each level means, how long it takes, and what you see on the dashboard.
Setting Up Rewards Your Child Will Actually Work For
The reward shop turns Heddy Points into things your child cares about — and you stay in charge of every one. Here's how the catalogue works and how to make rewards genuinely motivating.
Ask-to-Claim: Approvals That Keep You in Control
Your child browses the reward shop and 'asks to claim' — but a point is only spent when you approve on your dashboard. Here's how ask-to-claim works and why nothing happens behind your back.
My Heddy: The Room, the Shelf, and Dressing Your Owl
My Heddy is your child's own room inside the web tutor — their owl level, a shelf of everything they've unlocked, and the fun of dressing Heddy in the outfits and scenes they've earned.
Setting a Term Focus With Your Child
At the start of term you and your child pick one direction per subject — Improve, Consolidate, Stretch or Explore. The tutors work to it quietly, it takes two minutes, and it's always optional.
Reading Your Child's Termly Progress Report
At the end of each term you get a written report built from your child's real tutoring sessions — not a grade, a story. Here's how to read it, and the kid-voiced version your child gets too.
The KS3 Journey Map: Seeing Where Your Child Is Heading
KS3 is a three-year landscape, not a race through a syllabus. The Journey Map shows where your child sits across a subject's strands and where they're heading — the bigger arc, not just this week.

Play With Friends: The Learning Genius Compatibility Feature
Your child can turn their Learning Genius into a shareable card and compare it with a friend's — a light, social three-step feature that makes self-knowledge fun to talk about.
Your Family Dashboard, at a Glance
The parent dashboard is your household's home base: a card for each child and one side-panel to reach Progress, Personality, Data, Subjects, Rewards, Children and the Learning plan.
AI Tutors on Your Phone
On a phone, aitutors.me behaves like an app — a bottom tab bar for both parent and child, and a clean full-screen tutor. It all runs in the browser, with nothing to download from an app store.
The Weekly Check-In: How Mentor Plans the Week
