One aitutors.me subscription covers your whole household. You add each child to the same account for free, and each one gets their own tutor, their own progress, their own Heddy points and their own choice of subjects. Adding a child's profile costs nothing — the paid unit is a subject seat, which you allocate across your children and can reassign any time.
If you have more than one child, you already know the maths that makes most tutoring impossible: two children, two tutors, two lots of fees. Human tutoring simply doesn't scale to a family. That was one of the first things we decided aitutors.me would do differently — the subscription is per household, not per child.
What "one subscription" actually means
When you subscribe, you're opening a household account, not a single child's account. From your parent dashboard you can add each of your children as a profile — for free — and every one of them becomes a full learner in their own right. What you actually pay for is subject seats: one child, one subject, per seat. You allocate the seats in your plan across your children however you like, and you can move a seat from one child or subject to another any time your focus shifts.
That means a Year 8 and a Year 6 can both be studying — the same evening, on different subjects, with the tutor treating each as a completely separate person. Nothing about one child bleeds into another. Their sessions, their reports, their Heddy points and their subject list are their own. What they share is the household subscription and the pool of subject seats you've bought — which you can move between them as their needs change.
The account is built for a normal-sized family — up to six children — which is far more than most households need, and enough that adding another child's profile is never a worry. Seats for their subjects are a separate, quick choice on the dashboard whenever you're ready.
How to add a child
Adding a child lives on the Children page of your dashboard:
- Open Children from the side panel and choose Add a child.
- Enter a first name and their school year — that's how the tutor pitches the level.
- Allocate their subjects from the seats in your plan (you can change these any time — see Choosing the Right Subjects for Each Child).
- Optionally, set up a login for them — a username and password so they can sign into their own learner home. Younger children often skip this and just use the tutor on your device; older ones like having their own door. Giving Your Child Their Own Safe Login covers this step.
That's it. The new child appears straight away as their own card on your Overview, ready for a first session.
Moving between your children
Because everything is per-child, your dashboard needs a quick way to say "show me this one". A child switcher sits at the top of the pages that are about a single child — Progress, Personality, Rewards, Subjects — so you flip from your Year 8's maths to your Year 6's English in a tap, without losing your place.
Your Overview shows them all at once instead: one card per child, each with this week's energy, their points, and a button straight into their tutor. It's the "how's everyone doing" glance you take on a Sunday evening. There's more on that in Your Family Dashboard, at a Glance.
| What's shared across the household | What's private to each child |
|---|---|
| The subscription itself | Sessions and progress history |
| Your parent dashboard | Heddy points and rewards |
| The pool of subject seats you've bought (freely reassignable) | Which of those seats is assigned to which child, right now |
| Your reward approvals sit in one place | Each child's own login and learner home |
One account, but every child is treated individually
This is the part that matters pedagogically, not just financially. Sharing a subscription is not the same as sharing a learning experience. Each child's tutor knows only that child's history: what they've practised, where they got stuck, what they're aiming at this term. Siblings can be poles apart — a confident writer and a reluctant one, a maths-lover and a maths-avoider — and each gets a tutor tuned to them.
It also means their wins are their own. When your younger one earns points for sticking with a hard problem, that's their moment; there's no leaderboard pitting them against an older sibling who's simply further along. If you're weighing whether your children should share a single login or each have their own, Siblings: Share an Account or Separate? is the decision guide.
FAQ
Do I pay again for a second child?
Adding a second child's profile is free — you never buy a separate account per sibling. What costs money is subject seats: the paid unit is a (child × subject) seat, not a child. Add your second child for free, then allocate a seat whenever you want them tutored in a subject, and move seats between children any time.
How do I add another child?
On your parent dashboard, open the Children page and choose "Add a child". You give a first name and school year, pick their subjects, and optionally set up their own login. It takes a couple of minutes.
Does each child keep their own progress and points?
Yes. Every child's sessions, Heddy points, goals and subjects are entirely their own. Adding a sibling never mixes their data — the tutor treats each child as a separate learner with their own history.
