Popular Questions

Getting Started

Yes, Tutorioo is an AI-powered online tutoring platform designed specifically for UK students from Key Stage 2 through to A-Level. We provide personalised support across all major subjects including Maths, English, and Science, following the UK curriculum. Unlike traditional online tutors, our AI tutor is available 24/7 to help with homework, exam revision, and building strong foundations—at a fraction of the cost of private tutoring.

We support students from age 7 through 18, covering Key Stage 2 (ages 7-11), Key Stage 3 (ages 11-14), GCSE (ages 14-16), and A-Level (ages 16-18). We also provide targeted support for 11+ exam preparation. Our AI tutor adapts to each student's level, whether they're mastering times tables in KS2 or tackling complex calculus at A-Level. Every student receives personalised tutoring that meets them exactly where they are.

Tutorioo is currently in pre-launch and will be available soon. Join our waitlist to get early access, exclusive founding member discounts, and be among the first families to experience affordable AI tutoring. Simply visit our waitlist page, enter your details, and we'll notify you as soon as we launch. Early members will receive special pricing and bonus features.

You only need a device with internet access—computer, tablet, or smartphone. For the best voice interaction experience with our AI tutor, we recommend headphones with a built-in microphone, but standard device speakers and mics work perfectly well too. No special software or downloads required; everything runs in your web browser.

AI Tutoring & Lessons

Our AI tutor provides many advantages over traditional tutoring: it's available 24/7 (no scheduling conflicts), costs 90% less than private tutors, never gets tired or impatient, and adapts instantly to your child's pace. While human tutors are excellent, an AI tutor online offers unlimited patience, consistent quality, and the ability to explain concepts in multiple ways until your child understands. Many families use AI tutoring as their primary support or to supplement occasional human tutoring.

Live lessons with our AI tutor are voice-powered and interactive. Your child speaks naturally with the AI, which listens, understands context, and responds in real-time—just like chatting with a knowledgeable teacher. The AI explains concepts step-by-step, asks questions to check understanding, provides visual aids, and adapts the lesson based on responses. It's personalised online tutoring that works around your family's schedule.

Our AI tutor excels at identifying and filling knowledge gaps. If your child struggles with foundational concepts—like times tables, fractions, or basic grammar—the AI will automatically adjust to their level, provide targeted practice, and build confidence before moving forward. It's patient, non-judgmental, and ensures no student is left behind. This makes it particularly effective for students who need extra support in Maths or English.

Homework Help

Absolutely! Our AI tutor provides expert homework help across all subjects. Students can upload a photo of their homework or type questions directly. Rather than simply giving answers, the AI guides them through problem-solving step-by-step, ensuring they truly understand the material. This approach builds independent learning skills whilst getting immediate support—perfect for GCSE Maths homework, English essays, or Science coursework.

Our AI tutor teaches—it doesn't just provide answers. When a student asks for help, the AI asks guiding questions, offers hints, breaks down complex problems into manageable steps, and checks understanding along the way. This Socratic method ensures students learn problem-solving skills and genuinely understand concepts, rather than copying answers. Parents can review session transcripts to see exactly how their child is learning.

Subjects & Levels

Yes! GCSE tutoring is one of our core strengths. Whether your child needs a GCSE Maths tutor online, support with English Literature analysis, or help understanding Biology, Chemistry, or Physics, our AI provides comprehensive coverage. The AI tutor follows the UK GCSE curriculum, understands exam board requirements, and helps with both foundation and higher tier content. It's like having a specialist GCSE tutor available whenever your child needs support.

Absolutely. We provide specialist A-Level tutoring across all major subjects. Whether your child is studying A-Level Maths (including Further Maths), Chemistry, Biology, Physics, or other subjects, our AI tutor handles advanced concepts with depth and rigour. The AI understands A-Level curriculum requirements, exam techniques, and provides the detailed explanations needed at this level. Finding an affordable A-Level tutor online has never been easier.

All major UK curriculum subjects are available: Maths, English (Language & Literature), Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), Modern Foreign Languages (French, Spanish, German), History, Geography, Computer Science, and more. All subjects are included in every plan—no extra charges. Whether your child needs support in one subject or several, they have unlimited access.

11+ tutoring is available! We support preparation for all sections of 11+ exams including verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, Maths, and English. Our AI provides practice questions, teaches exam techniques, and builds confidence. Many parents find our platform a cost-effective alternative to expensive 11+ tutors, with the flexibility to practise as much as needed.

Safety & Safeguarding

Safety and safeguarding are our absolute priorities. All AI interactions are monitored for inappropriate content and the platform is designed exclusively for educational use. We implement strict safeguarding measures: students cannot access external websites, communicate with anyone except the AI tutor, or share personal information. We comply fully with UK data protection laws (GDPR) and follow safeguarding best practices for online learning. Parents have full visibility of all interactions.

We take data protection and online safety extremely seriously. All student data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. We comply with GDPR and UK data protection regulations. Student information is never sold or shared with third parties. Only authorised parents can access their child's learning data. We maintain strict privacy standards to ensure your child's information remains secure.

Yes! Parents get complete visibility through our comprehensive dashboard. You can see which subjects your child studies, how long they spend learning, their progress on each topic, detailed session reports, and areas where they need more support. After every session, you receive a summary with AI feedback. This transparency gives you peace of mind whilst respecting your child's independence.

For Parents

Absolutely! Our parent dashboard provides comprehensive progress tracking. You'll see detailed reports after every session showing what topics were covered, your child's understanding level, strengths, areas needing practice, and time spent learning. You receive weekly email summaries and can access historical data to track improvement over time. It's complete transparency into your child's learning journey.

Yes! Parents have full control. You can set daily time limits, restrict access to specific subjects, schedule learning times, and receive notifications about usage. These controls help you balance screen time whilst ensuring your child gets the educational support they need. You remain in charge of how and when the platform is used.

Yes! You can add multiple student profiles under one parent account. Each child has their own personalised learning experience, separate progress tracking, and individual lesson history. This is perfect for families with multiple children, allowing you to manage everyone's education from one place.

Pricing & Plans

Tutorioo will offer exceptional value—starting from £9 per month, which is dramatically more affordable than traditional private tutors who charge £25-50 per hour. Our plans will offer flexible options for different usage levels. All subjects are included with no extra fees. Early waitlist members will receive special founding member discounts. Full pricing details are available on our pricing page.

No contracts or commitments. You can cancel anytime with no cancellation fees. We believe families should have complete flexibility—if our AI tutoring doesn't work for your child, you're free to leave. Most families stay because they see real results, but you're never locked in.

Technical

Tutorioo works on all modern devices: desktop computers (Windows, Mac, Linux), tablets (iPad, Android), and smartphones. We support all major browsers including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. No downloads or installations required—everything runs directly in your web browser. We recommend using a desktop or tablet for the best experience during live lessons.

No! Tutorioo is entirely web-based. Simply visit our website and log in—no apps to download, no software to install. This means you get automatic updates, can access from any device, and never have to worry about compatibility issues.
