No, it will not do the homework for them
It is the first question every parent asks, and it is the right one. Here is the whole answer: what the tutor does, what it refuses to do, and how you can see it for yourself.
Four refusals, in black and white
These are not settings: they are design rules. A tool that hands over the answer produces a pupil who aces homework and fails the exam — and no one notices until it is too late.
It does not give assessment answers
It rephrases, offers an example, asks a question that moves things forward. A learner handed the solution learns nothing — and the resulting certificate would be worthless.
It does not leave the course
It is anchored in the content of the course being taken, not plugged into the open web. That makes it less talkative, and far more reliable on what is actually taught.
It neither marks nor decides
No certifying mark, no admission, no exclusion. Those acts remain reserved to people, who sign them and answer for them.
It does not report your exchanges
Neither to a parent nor to an employer. A learner who knows they are constantly watched stops daring to be wrong, and so stops learning.
What it does instead of answering
- 01
It asks for a rephrasing
“Tell me what you understood from the question.” Nine blocks out of ten come loose right there, with no content given at all.
- 02
It offers a neighbouring case
An example with the same structure, never the exercise set. The pupil transposes it themselves — and it is that transposition that is being learned.
- 03
It points back to the lesson
To the exact page, not the chapter. Finding it yourself is a study skill; being told is not.
- 04
It stops
When the request is “do it for me”, it says so and goes no further. An explicit refusal is better than help that quietly complies.
What you see, and what you do not
Visible to the parent
- Stages cleared and the date of each
- Work submitted and how it was assessed
- Actual working time, with no flattering rounding
- The subjects where your child is stuck, named
Deliberately invisible
- The word-for-word content of exchanges with the tutor
- The questions they dared to ask and would otherwise have swallowed
- Their hesitations and failed attempts
Why we keep something from you
You are entitled to know everything about your child's progress, and this page gives you that. But a pupil who knows every question is passed on stops asking them, and so stops admitting they have not understood — and it is precisely that admission that produces learning. We give you the results, complete and unvarnished; we protect the rough work. A parent who obtained the rough work would lose the result.
