Choosing subjects for each child
Pick which subjects each child is tutored in — from your dashboard, per child. Turn subjects on gradually to pace new habits, or open everything your plan allows.

You decide which subjects each child works with. Every child on your account has their own set of subjects — chosen by you, from your dashboard — and their tutors only ever offer the subjects you've turned on for that child. Mentor is always there, free, for every child, no matter what you pick.
This is a deliberate control, not just a display: a subject you haven't turned on for a child simply isn't available in their sessions — on Claude and on the web.
Why choose subjects per child
Two reasons parents use this:
- Different children, different needs. One child might work on Maths and English; a sibling on Chemistry and History. Each child's set is independent, so you're never forced into a one-size-fits-all list for the whole household.
- Pacing. Starting a new way of learning is a habit change. Many parents turn on just one subject to begin with, let their child settle into the rhythm with that tutor, and add more once it's sticking. Turning subjects on over time is the pacing tool — there's no separate setting to learn.
Mentor is always included
Mentor — the wellbeing-first guide who runs the weekly energy check-in and points your child to the right tutor — is on for every child, always, and is never counted against your subject allowance.
How many subjects each child can have
Each child can have up to the number of subjects your plan includes, chosen freely from the seven:
| Plan | Subjects per child |
|---|---|
| Base | 1 |
| Founding | 3 |
| PRO | all 7 |
The allowance is per child. On a plan that includes three subjects, each of your children can have their own three — they don't share one pool. (The seven subjects are Maths, English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History and Geography — one professor each. See Meet the faculty.)
Choosing or changing subjects
- Open your dashboard and go to Subjects.
- If you have more than one child, pick the child at the top.
- Tap a subject card to turn it on or off. The counter shows how many of your allowance you've used; once you're at the limit, turn one off to swap another in.
- Tap Save.
Changes take effect straight away — the next time that child opens a tutor, they'll see exactly the subjects you've chosen.
Pacing idea
Turn on one subject for the first week or two. When your child is opening their tutor without prompting and the routine feels natural, come back and add the next one. Small, steady steps beat switching everything on at once.
What your child sees
- Only their chosen professors are available. If a subject is off for that child, its professor won't take a session — your child (or Claude) is gently pointed back to you to turn it on. Nothing else about the tutor changes.
- Mentor is always available, so the weekly check-in and the "what shall we work on today" conversation always work.
- A new child starts with their full allowance on, so tutoring works out of the box the moment you create their sign-in. Narrow it down whenever you'd like to pace things.
Learning Genius doesn't need a subscription
The Learning Personality quiz — your child's "Learning Genius" — is separate from subjects and free to try, even before you subscribe. It's a good first step: discover how your child learns, then choose the subjects that fit.
