Tutoring for kids · Math, reading and SAT
Math, reading and SAT practice that meets your kid where they are.
Teach Me checks where your child is in math and reading and gives them work that fits. When they get stuck, they get a hint, then a second try, and AI explains that exact problem in words they understand. They move up a grade as they master it. From 7th grade, SAT practice is a subject too, on the same login.

How it works
Start in five minutes.
Tell us who you are
Name and grade. That is all it takes to begin.
Take a short check
Eight questions. Get one right and the next is a little harder. Miss one and you get a hint and another try.
Work at your level
Teach Me picks your first week of practice from what the check showed. The level moves as you do.
When you get stuck
A hint, then another try. Never the answer first.
Most apps mark it wrong and move on. Teach Me stops. It gives one hint, lets you try again, and gives a second hint if you need it. You only see the worked answer after that. The later hints are written by AI for the exact problem your child is on, and they never give the answer away. For the youngest kids, tens and ones are drawn as pictures. Solving it yourself, even with help, is what makes it stick.
7 × 8 = ?
54
Close. Try 5 × 8 = 40. Then add 2 more 8s.
56
That's it. 40 + 16 = 56. Next one is a bit harder.
Mia lost her blue mitten. She looked under the bed. She looked in her coat. The mitten was in her boot!
Where was the mitten?
in her coat
She looked in her coat, but did she find it there? Read the last sentence.
in her boot
"The mitten was in her boot!" You found the sentence that says it.
It grows with you
From counting stars to solving for x. From letter sounds to reading between the lines.
Each grade ends with a 10-question test. Get all 10 right and you move up a grade, even past the one you are in at school. Miss one and you practice that skill first. Nobody sits on work that is too easy, and nobody gets lost on work that is too hard.

Something to look forward to
Something to look forward to. Every day.
Work can be hard. When there is something to look forward to, a kid goes from stuck to going. Parents make the list. Kids pick what they are working for: a daily one, a weekly one, a monthly one, and a big one for the year. Help counts. Fast guesses do not.
For kids
For parents
- Less struggle at the tableThe work fits, so it gets done without the meltdown.
- Mastery you can seeEvery grade ends in a 10-question test. You see it passed.
- Gaps get filled in order.So class work sticks.
- You make the list. They pick.Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. You decide what is on it and how big. Teach Me only decides when it has been earned.
Subjects
Math, reading and the SAT. More on the way.
The check, the hints, and the grade tests work the same way in every subject. Math and reading are live, one subject a day, taking turns; science and history come in as reading. From 7th grade, SAT practice is a subject too, on the same login. Parents can pick just one subject. Writing comes next.
Math
Counting through precalculus, K–12.
Reading
Phonics, words, grammar, stories and facts, K–12. Read aloud for kids who can't read yet.
SAT
Grade 7 and up. A 16-question diagnostic sets a projected score, then 10 questions a day on the skills worth the most points, with timed test-day checks. Teens 13+ can have their own account. How SAT practice works.
Writing
Sentences, paragraphs, and essays.
Science
As reading: how things work, animals, weather, space and the body, K–12, with questions that check understanding.
History
As reading: real people, inventions and how daily life worked, K–12. Hands-on science and history lessons come later.
Why we built it
What if every kid got to learn at their own pace?
I built Teach Me because I believe education should be free. I ask my kids: what if everyone in the world was educated? How would we act, what would we build, how far could we go?
Teaching has become one-size-fits-all: too easy, too hard, or too boring. We can't expect kids to stay motivated when the lesson isn't made for them. We want things made for us as adults. Kids are no different.
Teaching every child one on one takes more teachers and more hours than any school has. AI changes that. Teach Me starts where your child actually is. Too hard, it steps back. Too easy, it moves ahead. Stuck, AI explains that exact problem. Not interested? You set the reward, and they earn it by getting answers right.
Math and reading are live. Your feedback decides what we build next.
For high schoolers the SAT is in here too. It still matters, and walking in unprepared is stressful. Ten questions a day on the skills that move the score most. The reward this time is the college you want. A 1600 doesn't guarantee it, but it's one of the biggest things you control.
15 minutes a day. Free. Let's help every kid get smarter at their own pace.

For parents
Questions parents ask.
Is this free?
Yes, it is 100% free. All kids deserve the chance and the tools to get better at school.
How long is the check?
Eight questions. Most kids finish in about five minutes. It can be taken again any time.
How long does it take each day?
A day is 20 questions (12 for K–2), about 15 minutes, and your child sees how many are left the whole way. Done is done: the set earns the reward. A kid who was quick and right can take 10 bonus questions from the next grade, just for fun. If a day runs over 20 minutes, the next one is four questions shorter. It never gets longer on its own.
How does my child earn the reward?
The daily one: two out of three right. Right after a hint still counts. Fast guesses do not, and a near miss gets one more try that day. The weekly one: 5 good days in a week. Monthly: 20 good days. Yearly: 200 good days. You set the prizes.
Is there AI in it?
Less than you might think. The lessons, the questions and the grade tests are a fixed curriculum built on the Common Core, the same for every child. The check finds where your child is by what they get right, not by an AI guess. AI does two things: when your child is stuck, it writes a hint for that exact problem and explains why a wrong answer was tempting, never the answer itself; and it reads photos of school tests you add. Hints are on for everyone and get only the problem and your child's answer, never their name. Reading test photos is off until you turn it on. See the privacy policy.
What if my child doesn't know something yet?
They tap "Teach me." Teach Me shows the steps with a worked example, then gives two tries. If it is still too early, the skill rests, an easier one comes first, and you see it in the parent view.
Does it just give the answer?
Not first. A hint comes first, then a second hint. The worked answer only appears after your child has tried again.
Does it replace a teacher?
No. Teach Me is practice: 15 minutes a day on the skills your child has not got yet, with a hint when they are stuck. It tells you which skills those are, so you and their teacher know where to spend time. The teaching stays with people.
What do I get to see?
Days done, minutes each day, the grade they started at and where they are now, where they got stuck and why, and what comes next.
Which grades?
Kindergarten through 12th grade, in math and in reading. High school math follows California's path: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, then Precalculus. Reading follows the Common Core English language arts standards, from letter sounds to analyzing arguments. SAT practice opens at 7th grade.
Does it cover the SAT?
Yes. Turn on SAT under Subjects for any child in 7th grade or above, or they tap SAT prep on their page. A 16-question diagnostic sets a projected score out of 1600 and a starting level for every skill; each day after that is 10 questions on the skills worth the most points, with hints that stop before the answer, and timed checks at SAT pace to lock a skill in. Teens 13 and up can sign up on their own. If you had a Teach Me 1600 account, it is here now: same email, same password, progress intact.
Does my child see their grade?
Yes. They see the grade of the work they are on and watch it go up. Some go past their school grade. Early in the school year, they practice what their class has covered so far.
