A 1-on-1 AI tutor
for your K-8 child

Meet Ms. Emma. She asks before she explains, teaches out loud with every step on her board, waits while your child thinks, and picks up next time exactly where they left off.

Quick answer

What is a 1-on-1 AI tutor for kids?

It is a tutor that works with one child at a time: it finds out what your child already knows, teaches one step, has your child try it, and explains it differently when it does not click. iMasterly's tutor, Ms. Emma, does this out loud for grades K-8, across math, reading, homework and more, and parents get a weekly summary.

How Ms. Emma teaches

What happens in a session, step by step.

She asks before she explains

A session starts from what your child already knows, so nothing is re-taught that is already solid and nothing is skipped that is missing.

She teaches out loud, step by step

Ms. Emma talks your child through the idea and shows every step on her board, the way a good teacher works at a whiteboard.

Your child tries one

After each step your child does one. She waits while they think instead of rushing to the answer.

Wrong answers become lessons

When your child gets one wrong, she shows why it is wrong and explains it another way, because the explanation that clicks is different for every child.

She remembers

Next time she picks up exactly where your child left off.

Parents stay in the loop

Your child sees what they have mastered, and you get a weekly summary.

Does it work?

In our early cohort, children who started below grade level gained 23 points on average, and the share at grade level went from 50% to 73%. These are early numbers from our own data, not a large-scale study, and the gains were strongest for children who started behind. See the student results.

Choosing an AI tutor for your child

Whichever tutor you pick, check five things: it teaches instead of handing out answers; it is built for children, not a general chatbot; a parent creates and controls the account; you can see what your child did; and it covers the subjects and grade your child needs.

Questions parents ask

What is a 1-on-1 AI tutor?
A 1-on-1 AI tutor works with one child at a time. It asks what your child already knows, explains a step, has your child try one, and changes its explanation when something does not click. Unlike a quiz app, it teaches; unlike a chatbot, it is built for children and for school subjects.
How does Ms. Emma teach?
Ms. Emma asks before she explains, so she starts from what your child already knows. She teaches out loud and shows every step on her board, then asks your child to try one. She waits while your child thinks, and next time she picks up exactly where you left off.
What grades and subjects does iMasterly cover?
Kindergarten through 8th grade. Math and reading sit at the center, with homework help, practice built to more than 30 state tests, and subjects beyond the classroom: puzzles and reasoning, world and history, essay coach, spelling bee, olympiads, math programs, psychology, coding, chess, communication, AI literacy and financial literacy.
Does the AI tutor just give my child the answers?
No. Ms. Emma asks your child to try each step. When an answer is wrong, she shows why it is wrong and explains it another way, so your child learns the idea rather than copying a result.
Can it help with homework from school?
Yes. Homework from your child's teacher waits in Classroom. When your child gets one wrong, Ms. Emma shows why and walks through it.
How do parents see progress?
Your child sees what they have mastered, and parents get a weekly summary of what was learned.
Is it safe for children under 13?
For children under 13, a parent or guardian must create the account, and we get verifiable parental consent before collecting a child's information. Parents can review, update or delete their child's information, and we do not use student data for advertising. See our guide to AI tutoring safety for what to check with any AI tutor.
Does it work for kids who are behind?
In our early cohort, children who started below grade level gained 23 points on average, and the share at grade level went from 50% to 73%. These are early numbers from our own data, not a large-scale study, and gains were strongest for children who started behind.
