The difference, plainly

Other AI helps them submit. We help them learn.

Most AI helpers

  • Speeds your child to a finished answer when they're stuck on homework
  • Draws on generic internet knowledge, not their exam board's spec
  • Same depth whether they're on a grade 4 or aiming for a 9
  • Safety filters added around a general-purpose chatbot

Socratic Compass

  • Guides them step by step until they understand the content themselves
  • Mapped to live GCSE specs today — A-Level subject packs rolling out next
  • Pacing adapts: more support when they're struggling, more stretch when they're flying
  • Checks for misconceptions and missing building blocks before moving on
  • Safeguarding built in — aligned with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE), the framework UK schools follow

What your child's session sits on

  1. 1
    UK curriculum structure

    Topics organised the way the Department for Education expects GCSE content to be taught — not random web results.

  2. 2
    Exam board specifications

    AQA, OCR, and Edexcel where packs are live — the exact statements your child's school is working towards.

  3. 3
    Ability-aware pacing

    The tutor adjusts depth and challenge to where your child is now — foundation scaffolding or higher-tier stretch.

  4. 4
    Child safety layer

    Input checks, controlled disclosure, and audit-friendly records — designed with KCSIE (Keeping Children Safe in Education) principles in mind, adapted for home.

GCSE content mapped to Department for Education subject expectations. Safeguarding approach aligned with KCSIE — not a substitute for your school's DSL, but the same standard parents expect.

How it works

From sign-up to GCSE support in 5 minutes

    Select what they're studying and which board — AQA, OCR, or Edexcel. The tutor stays on spec.

    Track learning from your dashboard

    See topics worked, exit-check reflections, thinking patterns, and alerts. Real progress, not just chat logs.

For parents

The stuff you actually care about at 10pm

ChatGPT gives answers. Some tutors ask questions. Socratic Compass governs the whole conversation — with proof, progress, and privacy you can explain to another parent in one sentence.

Policy + audit

Won't do the homework

Engine-enforced Socratic tutoring. When your child pushes for the mark-scheme answer, the tutor rewrites and guides — every turn logged, not just filtered.

For learners

Yeah, but what's in it for me?

No cringe mascots. No XP grind. Just a tutor that doesn't snitch on you to your parents for asking — but also won't do the homework so you look clever for five minutes.

  • 01

    It thinks with you

    Stuck on homework? You get questions that build understanding — not a copy-paste answer that gets you in trouble tomorrow.

  • 02

    Your actual subjects

    GCSE live now — A-Level packs on the way. Pick what you're studying and the tutor stays on spec.

  • 03

    Your exam board matters

    AQA, OCR, or Edexcel — the tutor knows what your board expects this term, not generic internet revision.

  • 04

    Learning Compass

    A live spec tree and mastery map. See what you've nailed, what's next, and where to focus before mocks.

  • 05

    Pick up where you left off

    Close the tab, come back tomorrow — your session and topic context resume so you don't start from zero.

  • 06

    11pm before the exam? Still here.

    Unlimited chat when you're stuck. No appointment, no judgement, no 'we'll cover that next lesson'.

  • 07

    Exit-check reflection

    Quick check at the end of a topic — proves you got it, not just that you read the explanation.

  • 08

    Stuff that actually sticks

    Spaced revisit prompts bring back topics before you forget them. Your future self at the exam hall says thanks.

  • 09

    Catches wrong ideas early

    The tutor spots misconceptions and missing prerequisites — fixes the foundation before you build on sand.

  • 10

    Terms explained in plain English

    Weird word in the textbook? Glossary support when terminology gets in the way of the actual thinking.

Trust and privacy

  • Hosted in the EEA

    Your child's questions stay in Europe. We don't sell their chat to train commercial AI models.

  • One subscription, everything included

    Learning Compass, parent dashboard, unlimited sessions, and every subject pack as it lands — no tier games.

  • A decision log, not just a chat history

    Each turn records how the tutor responded — hint, misconception, prerequisite — so you can see the teaching path, not only the words.
