An AI tutor for homeschooling families
TutorAura · Updated
Homeschooling parents teach everything, and no one is an expert in everything. When your teenager hits chemistry calculations or your middle schooler needs help with essay structure, TutorAura's AI tutor can explain the idea step by step, check their working on a whiteboard, and quiz them afterwards, while you stay in charge of the curriculum.
It covers every common school subject from grade 1 to grade 12 and works with whatever curriculum or books you use: your child tells the tutor what they're studying.
Key takeaways
- Help in every subject, from early reading and maths to calculus and chemistry.
- Works with your curriculum: your child tells the tutor what they're studying.
- Guides students to do the work themselves, building independence.
- Saved conversations and whiteboards let you see what they worked on.
How homeschooling families use it
- A second explainer. When your explanation hasn't landed, the tutor tries a different angle, with its own examples and check questions.
- Subjects outside your comfort zone. Higher maths, sciences, computer science or a language you don't speak.
- Independent work time. Older students can work through a topic while you teach a younger sibling.
- Checking work. Students write their working on the whiteboard and the tutor finds where it went wrong.
- Revision and quizzes before tests or standardised exams.
It follows your curriculum
TutorAura doesn't impose a course. Your child chooses their grade and subjects at setup, then tells the tutor what they're working on ("chapter 4 of our chemistry book: moles"). It explains and practises that topic. For exam prep, there are structured pathways with a question bank, diagnostic and study plan for the Digital SAT and GCSE/IGCSE Maths, which many homeschooled students take.
We don't claim the tutor covers any curriculum in full, so use your own course plan to decide what comes next.
Example: help with a chemistry calculation
How many moles are in 18 g of water? A homeschooled grade 10 student asks for help.
- The tutor asks: "What's the formula linking mass, moles and molar mass?" The student recalls .
- "What's the molar mass of water?" Hydrogen is about 1 and oxygen about 16, so is g/mol.
- mole.
- A follow-up: "How many moles in 9 g?"
The parent doesn't need to remember their own chemistry to support this lesson.
Keeping you in the loop
Your child's conversations and whiteboards are saved in their account, so you can review what they worked on. The tutor keeps short notes on what they're studying and finding hard, which you can view and delete in settings. Practice and test results appear in the progress page for exam pathways.
Building independence
The tutor's default is to guide rather than give answers: it explains, asks the student to try the next step, and checks their understanding. That builds the habit of working through problems independently, which matters more and more as students get older. For study habits that last, see how to make a study schedule and active recall.
Limits
An AI tutor is a supplement to your teaching, not a curriculum or an accredited program. Like any AI it can make mistakes, so check important facts, and for younger children, stay nearby. For grade 7 and below, a parent or guardian confirms the account during setup.
Getting started
- Set up the account together, choosing your child's grade and subjects.
- Pick one topic they're finding hard this week and try a short session.
- Review the conversation together afterwards: what made sense, what didn't?
- Build a routine, for example a daily lesson before independent work.
Many families start with one subject, often maths, and add others once the routine is working.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with any homeschool curriculum?
Yes. Your child tells the tutor what they're studying, and it explains and practises that topic. It doesn't replace your curriculum.
Can I see what my child worked on?
Yes. Conversations and whiteboards are saved in their account, and you can view what the tutor remembers in settings.
Is there test prep for homeschoolers?
Yes: structured pathways for the Digital SAT and GCSE/IGCSE Maths, with a question bank, diagnostic, study plan and practice tests.
How much does it cost?
There's a 3-day free trial with no card needed, then $15 a month per student account for every subject.
