Teaches, doesn't just answer
Ask “what's 15 × 8?” and TutorClue starts with “what's 10 × 8?” It guides students through problems step by step instead of doing the homework for them.
Parent-managed K–12 tutoring
AI tutoring that helps kids figure it out.
TutorClue guides students with explanations, hints and step-by-step help — so they're learning, not just copying answers. It adapts from K–2 all the way through Grade 12.

Why does the moon change shape?
Great question! 🌙 The moon doesn't really change shape — we just see different parts of it lit up by the sun as it circles Earth. Want to try it with a ball and a flashlight?
Yes!
Don't share your name, address, phone number, school, passwords, or other private information.
Why TutorClue
A tutor, not an answer machine
Four things that make TutorClue different from a general-purpose chatbot.
Grows with their grade
Vocabulary, depth, pacing and even the colours and typography shift from early elementary through high school.
Built for families
Parents create each student profile, pick the grade range, choose which learning tools are on, and can pause the tutor any time.
Talk or type
Younger learners can ask questions out loud and have answers read back to them — speech is handled by the device, and no recordings are kept.
Privacy-minded by design. Chats aren't saved to our database, voice questions are turned into text on the device with no recording kept, and we don't collect student emails, phone numbers, photos, location or school details. There are no ads and no student-to-student features. We don't claim any external safety certification — our review is still pending.
How It Works
Three steps to a study space that fits
Step 1
Parents set it up
Create the family account, then add a student profile with a nickname and a grade range. No child email or personal details needed.
Step 2
Students sign in simply
Each student gets a username and a 6-digit passcode from you. They land straight in a study space built for their grade.
Step 3
The tutor adapts
Vocabulary, pacing, depth and even the visual design shift with the grade range you chose — and only you can change it.
Built for Every Grade
One tutor, four very different experiences
Pick a grade range and the language, pacing, colors and typography all change with it.
🐣Playful and simple
K–2
Very short sentences, one idea at a time, big friendly buttons and lots of encouragement.
🚀Colorful and engaging
Grades 3–5
Concrete examples, short step-by-step help and a warm, curious tone.
🧭Modern and interactive
Grades 6–8
Clearer detail, age-appropriate vocabulary and prompts that push students to reason it out.
🎓Mature and academic
Grades 9–12
Academic vocabulary, deeper explanations and concise, thorough answers for exam-level work.
What Students Can Do
Four ways to get unstuck
Every mode teaches rather than doing the assignment for the student.
Homework Help
Walks through the problem step by step instead of handing over the final answer.
Explain Something
Breaks an idea down, then tries a fresh angle when a student says they still don't get it.
Quiz Me
Asks one question at a time and waits for the answer before moving on.
Writing Help
Coaches structure, edits and explains changes rather than writing the assignment.
Designed With Safety in Mind
Guardrails, not guesses
- The tutor is instructed never to ask for a name, address, phone number, email, school or password.
- Student messages and tutor replies both pass through a content check before anything is shown.
- Sensitive school topics are answered factually at the student's level; harmful instructions are declined.
- Grade rules live on the server, so a chat message can't unlock older-student content.
- Chat messages aren't saved to our database, and there are no ads, photos, uploads, location features or student-to-student messaging.
An honest note
No automated system catches everything, and we don't claim any legal or compliance certification. TutorClue is a tool to support learning — we recommend reviewing your student's conversations with them and keeping the account under your control.
