The Mentor
Reads the room before the room knows it has one.
Before any tutoring, the Mentor asks how your child is really doing — and on a rough day, says rest. It protects their energy, not just their grades.
Not named for a person — named for the role. In the old Greek stories, a Mentor was the trusted guide who watched over the hero on the journey. Yours checks you're okay before any work begins.
It starts by asking how your child is.
Not "what shall we revise?" — but "how are you, really?" Two honest questions decide whether tonight is for pushing, for a light touch, or for rest.
Football was a long one. On a scale of green, amber, red — how's your energy right now, honestly?
amber. tired but okay.
Got it. Then no Pythagoras tonight. Fifteen minutes of fractions, then off. The hard stuff is for Sunday morning.
One child. Eight tutors. One Mentor.
The Mentor is the conductor. It reads your child's state, picks the right tutor for the day, hands over exactly where they left off, and holds the whole week in view — so eight specialists feel like one faculty that knows your child.

Sleep beats sessions.
The Mentor is the only tutor that will tell your child to stop. Every other AI tutor pushes through. On a Red day, this one says rest — and means it.
It watches for a low-energy run before it becomes a slump, gives permission to rest without guilt, and the moment anything sounds unsafe it stops and points your child to a trusted adult or Childline 0800 1111. That duty of care is the front door to the whole faculty.
Wellbeing-aware — not a mental-health service.
It remembers the whole week.
Your child meets one faculty that knows them — not eight bots starting from scratch. The Mentor remembers the patterns, spreads the work, and paces it to the week they're actually having.
