What is aitutors.me
A faculty of AI tutors for UK KS3 — built to make your child think, to remember them between sessions, and to teach against a real curriculum.
On this page
aitutors.me is a faculty of AI tutors for UK secondary students, built around one idea: a tutor who gives your child the answer has not taught them anything.
There is a Mentor who asks how your child is before deciding it is a good day to study, and a specialist professor for each KS3 subject. They remember your child between sessions, and they teach against the real curriculum rather than whatever the conversation happens to drift towards.
What makes it a tutor and not a chatbot
Three things, and they are the whole product.
1. It withholds
Every professor works up a four-rung hint ladder, shown above. A guiding question first. Then the problem broken into smaller steps. Then a worked example of one just like it. And only after real, sustained effort, the answer with an explanation.
That fourth rung matters, and we would rather be straight about it: this is not a tutor that refuses to help. It is a tutor that makes the answer something your child arrives at instead of something they receive. A general AI assistant answers on the first ask — that is what it is for. This one is deliberately built to make that hard.
2. It remembers your child
One account carries everything the tutors know: your child's learning personality, how much energy they have this week, the mistakes they have made before, how confident they said they were, and when each idea is due for review.
This is the part a plain chat window structurally cannot do. A conversation that starts from nothing every time is a search box with good manners. Continuity is most of what makes a tutor a tutor.
3. It teaches against a real curriculum
The tutors work from the KS3 map — 700 named topics with 1,147 links recording which one has to come before which. So "what next" is a position on a real curriculum rather than a guess, and when your child is stuck the tutor can look underneath the topic they are stuck on. Usually that is where the actual gap is.
Who your child meets
Mentor comes first, every session. Mentor asks how your child is feeling and whether this is a good day to work — and on a bad week, says so and keeps things light. When the answer is yes, Mentor brings in the right subject professor.
The professors are specialists, one per KS3 subject: Maths, English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History and Geography. Each teaches its subject the way that subject is actually learned — Professor Newton makes your child predict before showing a result; Professor Quill will not write your child's paragraph, because the voice is the point. See Meet the faculty for the full roster.
Where it runs
Your child can work with the faculty in a browser at aitutors.me/study — nothing to install, no other AI account needed — or inside an AI app you already pay for: Claude, ChatGPT, or Claude Code and Codex.
These are the same tutors and the same account. Whichever you choose, it is one memory of your child, one set of subjects, one bill. Pick whichever suits your household; you can use more than one.
What you can use for free
Three things need no account and no card:
- Learning Genius — a short quiz that says how your child responds to challenge, with a card they can share.
- The flashcard Atlas — every prebuilt KS3 deck, free to review in your browser.
- The KS3 map — the whole 700-topic curriculum, published so you can read it before deciding anything.
Talking to a professor is the part that needs a subscription. Current plans are on the pricing page, and there is a free demo if you would rather see the teaching before you decide.
Safety, and your child's data
The account belongs to you, the parent, and you stay in control of it. Conversation logs are deleted on a rolling 30-day basis, and your child's conversations are never used to train any AI model — ours or anyone else's.
Safeguarding is hard-coded rather than a policy. If Mentor sees any sign of distress, it stops the session and replies with a referral to Childline (0800 1111). That behaviour cannot be overridden by anything your child or the model says. The full policy is on our safeguarding page.
What it is not
It is not a homework machine, and a child looking for one will find it frustrating on purpose. It is not a replacement for school or for a human teacher — it is the patient hour that a classroom of thirty cannot give. And it is not a general chatbot wearing a tutor costume: the withholding, the memory and the curriculum are the difference, and they are the reason it costs something.

Quickstart takes you from here to your child's first session — it is about ten minutes, and you can see the teaching before you pay for it.
