Can you walk me through this? I learn better when I can see how it builds up.
Different kids learn differently.
So we made 7 tutors.
Every tutor in PocketTutor has a distinct voice and teaching style - from warm and patient to direct and exam-focused. Your child picks the one they click with, and can switch any time.
One tutor doesn't fit every kid.
Two engaged learners. Two completely different styles. Same curriculum, different tutor.
Example response
"Let me explain this concept. First, we'll look at the basics, then explore how it works in practice.
SAM · ADAPTIVE STRATEGY
Example response
"That's a tricky equation, but don't worry! We're going to crush it. Let's just look at the left side first. What do you think is the very first step we can take to simplify those brackets? There are no wrong answers here.
EMMA · SCAFFOLDING STRATEGY
Example response
"An intriguing question. But before we proceed, consider this: what do you think the answer might be, based on what you already know? Sometimes the path to understanding begins with recognising what we already carry within us.
SIMON · INQUIRY-BASED STRATEGY
Example response
"Imagine that electricity is like water flowing through pipes. The voltage? That's the water pressure. The current? That's how much water is actually flowing. And resistance is like squeezing the pipe - it makes it harder for water to get through!
MIRA · ANALOGY STRATEGY
Example response
"Not quite - you mixed up derivative and integral. Quick fix: the derivative of
x² is 2x. Lock that in. Now rapid reps: what's the derivative of x³? And of 5x⁴? Let's go. AISHA · RAPID-REPS STRATEGY
Example response
"So basically photosynthesis is just plants making their own food using sunlight. Imagine if you could just stand outside and not have to eat anymore? TL;DR: sun goes in, sugar comes out, plant wins 🔥
JOSH · PEER-LEARNING STRATEGY
Example response
"Definition: Entropy is a measure of disorder in a thermodynamic system. Derivation: From the second law,
dS ≥ δQ/T. Application: This explains why heat flows from hot to cold bodies spontaneously. Your error was in conflating entropy with energy - they are distinct quantities. RAVI · FIRST-PRINCIPLES STRATEGY
Side by sideOne question.
One question.
4 different approaches.
The clearest way to see what makes each tutor distinct is to ask them the same thing. Here's what "Can you explain photosynthesis?" sounds like in 4 different voices.

Photosynthesis is how plants make their own food using sunlight! They take in water from the soil, CO₂ from the air, and use sunlight to turn it all into glucose for energy - releasing oxygen as a bonus for us. The whole reaction happens in little green parts of the cell called chloroplasts. Want to dig into how that works?
MiraAnalogy · visual
Imagine plants as tiny solar-powered chefs. They take sunlight (the cooker), water (from the ground), and CO₂ (from the air), and turn it all into glucose - their food. The leftover bit they puff back out is oxygen. The whole kitchen is inside a tiny green factory called the chloroplast. Plants are basically running a solar restaurant.

Plants making their own food using sunlight, basically. They suck up water from the dirt, grab CO₂ from the air, and use sunlight to turn it all into glucose. Oxygen pops out as a bonus. The whole thing happens in the chloroplasts (the green bits). TL;DR: sun in, sugar out, plant wins.
RaviFirst principles · technical
Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy stored as glucose. The reaction occurs in the chloroplasts, where chlorophyll captures sunlight. Inputs: carbon dioxide and water. Outputs: glucose and oxygen. Equation: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

Finding the fit
The right tutor changes everything.
Most kids have a moment when something clicks - a tutor whose voice they want to hear, whose pace matches theirs. When that happens, study has its own momentum. Your child opens the app, finishes more, and comes back to it without being asked.
01
Switch mid-session.
Your child can change tutors during a chat, and the new tutor picks up where the old one left off.
02
All seven, every plan.
Every tutor is available to every student. No premium-only tutors, no upsell - your child can try all seven and stick with whichever clicks.
03
The pick sticks.
Once your child has chosen, the tutor stays selected across sessions - no need to start over every time.
