An AI assistant for tutors: assignments, error analysis and contact with parents
Explaining and teaching are yours. The assistant prepares assignment sets for each student, sorts their mistakes by topic, keeps the schedule and writes to parents what you usually write yourself after every lesson.
What it does
- prepares exercises aimed at the student's specific gaps
- works through the common mistakes and explains them in plain language
- keeps a record of the student's progress
- answers the student's questions between lessons
- prepares a report for the parents on what has been done and what comes next
What it does not do
The limits are set in advance
- does not teach the lesson in your place
- does not do the homework for the student
How much time it frees up
By our reviews, a tutor spends roughly
12 hours a week on the routine listed above — more than a third of the working week. The assistant does not take all of it: some tasks you will still be checking. But checking something finished is faster than doing it from scratch, and the gain lies in exactly that difference.
How it works
The assistant prepares materials and works through the routine without touching the substance. The limits are set in advance and firmly: where a specialist's qualification is needed, the assistant stops and passes the question to you.
How the assistant works between a tutor's lessons
Homework targeted at a specific student's mistakes
After the lesson you note what the student struggles with: "mixes up signs when expanding brackets, loses the minus". The assistant builds ten exercises on exactly that — with rising difficulty, no extra topics — and lays out a sheet with space for working. By the next meeting you get not "did the homework" but a picture: which of the ten are solved correctly, where the mistake recurred.
A mock exam analysed in an evening, not over the weekend
The student sat a mock exam, seventy questions. You mark where the mistakes are, the assistant groups them by topic and shows what is a systematic gap and what is random carelessness. That becomes a plan for the next lessons, which you edit rather than write from scratch.
A message to parents after every lesson
"Covered quadratic equations, calculates the discriminant confidently, 12 exercises set, next lesson on Wednesday" — you write a message like this every time, often late in the evening. The assistant composes it from your short note and sends it right after the lesson. Parents are kept informed; you don't spend the evening messaging.
Schedule, rescheduling and payment
The student is ill, the mother writes at seven in the morning. The assistant offers free slots, reschedules, reminds them of the cancellation rules and keeps track of which lessons are paid and which are still outstanding. At the end of the month it produces a list: who had how many lessons and what has been paid.
Preparing a new topic
You take on a student in a subject you haven't taught for a while, or prepare for a new exam format. The assistant compiles a topic summary with typical tasks and the pitfalls where students most often go wrong — following the curriculum and the exam specification. You check it and add your own techniques.
What the dialogue looks like
You: Sasha, year 9: mixes up the algebraic identities, expands the square of a difference as the square of a sum. Homework — 10 exercises, parents — the usual report, next on Friday 17:00.
Assistant: Built 10 exercises: the first four — square of a difference only, then mixed with the square of a sum, the last two — with numbers substituted for checking. Sent the sheet to Sasha, the report to his mother — "covered the algebraic identities, homework — 10 exercises on the square of a difference, next lesson Friday at 17:00". The lesson reminder is set for Friday 15:00.
You: Add to the report that we'll move the geometry mock to next week.
Assistant: Added and sent. Marked "geometry mock — to schedule" in next week's timetable.
What an ordinary day looks like
A tutor's calendar shows only the lessons, but the time is eaten by what happens between them. Marking homework, preparing exercises for a particular student's topic, messaging parents, reminders about rescheduling — none of it is paid separately and all of it has to be done. The assistant takes over the preparation: it puts together exercises for the topic and level, so that you come to the lesson with material rather than an empty file.
After the lesson it helps with feedback. You note what went well and where the student stumbled — the assistant turns that into a short, clear message to the parent and into a plan for next time. The parent sees specifics rather than “the lesson went well”, and that noticeably reduces the number of anxious questions.
By the end of the week the assistant puts together a picture for each student: which topics are covered, what had to be repeated twice, where progress has stalled. That summary makes it easier to decide what to change in the programme — and it is convenient to show parents at a mid-term conversation.
What we need from you at the start
- The programme or list of topics you teach — in whatever form it exists now.
- A few of your own exercises and marked papers: from them the assistant learns the level of difficulty and your way of explaining.
- A list of students with their particulars — what they find hard, what should not be returned to abruptly, what pace suits them.
- Your usual tone with parents: the messages have to sound like you, not like a mailing from a tutoring centre.
How the rollout goes
- Working through the tasks: we look at what eats the time between lessons and choose five tasks — most often preparing materials and feedback to parents.
- Setup: we load the topics and sample exercises, build the assistant and test it on a lesson you have already given — comparing it with what you did yourself is the easiest check.
- Testing in practice: for a week or two the assistant prepares materials alongside you; you correct what did not fit, and those corrections become the rules.
- Handover: we show you how to add topics and change wording, and leave you the instructions.
Frequently asked questions
Will the assistant teach the lesson instead of me?
No. The lesson is your work and what you are paid for. The assistant prepares the material and writes up the feedback — that is, it frees time for the teaching itself.

Won't the exercises be the same for every student?
Not if you gave the assistant the differences between them: level, pace, weak topics. That is exactly what is described during setup.

Will parents realise it was not written by me?
The messages are assembled from your own examples in your own tone, and you send them after reading them. It is a draft from an assistant, not an auto-reply.

I only have five students — is there any point?
The point comes not from the number of students but from the amount of repeated preparation. If every week you assemble similar exercises from scratch, then yes.

What if a student is preparing for an exam with a strict format?
The format is set by the rules: the assistant builds the exercises in exactly the structure required and does not depart from it on its own initiative.

When you do not need an assistant
If you teach one or two students and build the material from scratch for each of them, there is almost nothing to automate — the preparation is your method. Nor will it help where the value of the lesson is in live contact: speech work, dealing with exam anxiety, an explanation that needs eye contact. An assistant makes sense at volume: when there are more than five students, the topics repeat, and the exercises and feedback are assembled afresh every week.
What changes after a month
What usually goes first is the evening “I still have to write to the parents”. The messages are prepared right after the lesson, while everything is fresh, and you send them in a minute. Second, preparation stops being a separate evening in the week: the material for the topic is already assembled and you edit rather than compose. And you get a summary for each student, which turns the conversation with parents from guesswork into something concrete.
Won't the exercises be the same for every student?
No: each sheet is built around the specific student's mistakes that you marked. Two students with different gaps get different sheets, even if the topic is the same.

What if the assistant makes a mistake in a problem?
Every sheet goes through you before it is sent — just as you now check tasks from workbooks. In practice mistakes in standard tasks are rare, and non-standard ones you always write yourself.

Is it suitable for preparing for the state exams (EGE and OGE)?
Yes, the assistant follows the exam structure and specification, and analysing mock exams by topic is one of the most requested tasks among the tutors we have worked with.

How many students can it handle?
There is no limit on numbers. The more students, the more noticeable the gain: reports, the schedule and assignment sheets stop taking up your evenings.
