It explains, quizzes, reviews, remembers, waits, and keeps up.
One to one teaching is the oldest thing that works, and the least available. Parenthesis learns how you think, holds the whole term in mind, and hands back structure instead of answers.
Three things happen, in this order, and none of them require a routine you will not keep.
Hints escalate: a nudge, then structure, then a worked parallel example on different numbers. The answer stays yours to reach. Maths renders properly, and a quick check lands mid explanation to see if the idea clicked.
Six rungs from warming up to expert. Right climbs one, a right answer inside five seconds climbs two, wrong eases one back. The rung is re-graded on the server when the round ends, so it means something. What you miss becomes tomorrow's plan.
Topics minted from your own syllabus, marked mastered or not yet from real evidence. Stage words, no percentages, no fake precision, no order assumed. Plus the tools that come off it: predicted exam, cheat sheet, focus timer.
The week in stage words and counts: time studied, topics touched, what moved, and what to ask at dinner. Including how many answers were handed over, which is zero on purpose. Never the sessions themselves.
Great teaching is one mind paying attention to one mind, for years.
Aristotle taught Alexander: one student, one teacher, years at a time. For most of history that has been a privilege. A tutor who knows where you stall, what you already believe, and when to push is the oldest technology in education and the least available one.
Parenthesis is the attempt to make it ordinary: patient on the tenth try, specific about your Friday test, honest with the person paying attention at home, and still there next term.
A study tool a student will hide is worth nothing. So the boundary is built into the software, not into a settings page: you get progress and what to ask, they keep their sessions.
What moved, what is still open, and what to ask tonight. Stage words and counts, so you can read it in a queue.
They see the question and a scratchpad. You see a hint card and what to ask next. You help without taking over, and without needing to know the chemistry.
Questions worked through, sessions wrapped, answers handed over. If the tool ever starts doing the homework, that number moves and you will see it.
A set amount of study each month. When you run out, the app says so and offers Pro. It never stops mid explanation.
Everything, for one student who studies most days.
Five times the Pro usage. For exam terms, heavy voice use, or a household with more than one student.
Colleges, schools, and tutoring centres. Cohort setup, coach dashboards, and rollout support.
No. Hints escalate: a nudge, then structure, then a worked parallel example on different numbers. The answer stays yours to reach, and the parent view counts how many answers were handed over.
Time studied, topics touched, whether a topic is mastered or not yet, the weekly recap, and what to ask. Not the sessions. The boundary is in the software, not in a preference.
Anyone from 13 up with something hard enough in front of them to want a second pass at it. One account can be both a student and a parent, which is more common than it sounds.
No, and it is worth it anyway. A syllabus unlocks the topic map, dated reminders, predicted exams, and a cheat sheet aimed at your weak spots rather than the whole unit.
The app tells you as you go, then offers Pro. Nothing you made disappears, and you keep your subjects, sessions, and map.
Yes. Co-study pairs two devices: the student works, the partner gets a hint card and what to ask. It works the same whether the partner is a parent or a friend.
Whatever you are behind on right now. Say it badly, and see what comes back.
