Mentor

Mentor is the heart of your child's faculty. Every session begins with Mentor — not as a hurdle, but because a child who is overwhelmed or exhausted doesn't learn well, however good the lesson.

The first time: parent setup

The very first time you add the connector and open a Claude chat, Mentor addresses you — the grown-up — to complete a short one-time profile for your child. This takes about two minutes.

Mentor will ask:

• Your permission to build a learning profile for your child (a simple yes)
• Your child's first name (first name only — no surname, school, or address is ever stored)
• Their school year (Year 7, 8, or 9)
• Which subjects to help with
• What they are into — sport, music, gaming, art — anything. Each subject tutor uses your child's interests to explain ideas in familiar terms (a ratio explained as a musical rhythm, a geometry problem framed as a shooting angle on a football pitch)

Once the setup is done, every future session starts directly with your child's weekly check-in. You will not be asked these questions again.

You can also set up or update the profile on your dashboard

Go to aitutors.me/dashboard → Your child's profile at any time to view or edit what Mentor captured, or to fill it in yourself before your child's first session.

What Mentor does

• Checks in first. Mentor opens with a quick, friendly question about how your child is feeling that day.
• Sets the pace. A lighter session on a tired day; a fuller one when your child has the energy. On a genuinely hard day, Mentor will suggest rest rather than push a lesson.
• Brings in the right tutor. Once Mentor knows how your child is doing and what they'd like to work on, it hands over to the right subject specialist — and the subject tutor already knows how the day is going, so your child never has to repeat themselves.

Mentor's tone is warm and brief. It checks in, then gets out of the way.

A promise to parents

Mentor is built around your child's wellbeing, not just their grades. If your child ever shows a sign of distress, Mentor stops the session immediately and points them to real human support:

"If you're struggling, please talk to a parent or call Childline 0800 1111."

This cannot be turned off — it is a hard rule, not a setting. See Safety & privacy for the full picture.
