Revision they'll actually want to do
Getting teenagers to revise is hard. Pocket Tutor turns it into something they choose to do, with tutors they love, videos and pictures that make things click, and games they have to earn. You get peace of mind that the screen time is going on learning.
- Real learning, step by step. Every topic follows a plan built from their exam board's course, and their knowledge tank shows how far they've come.
- Homework help, not homework done. As easy as taking a photo of the sheet. When they're stuck, their tutor guides them through it with hints, questions and similar examples, but never gives the answers or writes it for them. The work they hand in is their own, and they understand it.
- Game time is earned. Coins only come from learning, and new games only unlock as they learn more, so the arcade is a reward, not a distraction.
- Safe leaderboards. Players only ever appear under a made-up name like SpeedyOtter42, never their real name.
- Their data, protected. UK GDPR compliant and built to the ICO's Children's Code. No adverts, and we never sell personal information.
- Built with safety in mind. Designed around Keeping Children Safe in Education: child-friendly pictures and videos, and a tutor that sticks to learning.
- Patient every time. Ask the same question ten times. No judgement, no sighs.
- Great for EAL learners. Explanations in their home language, with exam words in English.
- A fraction of the cost. A whole month of tuition for less than one hour with most private tutors.
"Unlike a human tutor (often an already overworked teacher working extra hours), Pocket Tutor is consistently energised and always available at your convenience."

What subjects does Pocket Tutor cover?
The beauty of Pocket Tutor is that it supports KS3, GCSE and A Level subjects across the curriculum, including Maths, English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History, Geography, Modern Foreign Languages and Computer Science. If you can't find the subject or topic you're looking for simply contact us and we'll add it in!
Will it just do my child's homework for them?
No. "Help me with my homework" is built to help them do it themselves. Their tutor asks what the homework is for (or reads it from a photo of the sheet, which we don't store), then breaks it into small steps, gives hints and explains the idea behind it, shows a worked example of a similar question, and checks their working. It won't give the answers or write anything they could copy and hand in, even if they ask. If the homework is for a different subject or topic, one tap switches the tutor over.
Is Pocket Tutor safe for my child?
Yes, it's built with safety in mind. We designed Pocket Tutor around the Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance: the tutor sticks to learning, pictures and videos are checked as suitable for children, and leaderboards only ever show made-up player names. It's UK GDPR compliant and follows the ICO's Children's Code: no adverts, we never sell personal information, and homework photos aren't stored. Our privacy policy has the details.
How much does Pocket Tutor cost?
£9.99 per month, or £99.99 for the year. Sign up here.
Do I need a particular phone or tablet?
No. Pocket Tutor works on all smartphones, tablets and computers. It runs in modern browsers such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Apple Safari, so there's nothing to install.
How do coins and games work?
Learners earn coins by learning: up to 20 for a top quiz score (on a topic or a video), plus bonus coins as each topic fills up in their knowledge tank. They spend coins to play games in the arcade, where a good score wins some back. New games unlock as they earn more coins from learning (coins won in games don't count). There's one coin bank for each learner, shared across all their subjects.
Are the games educational?
It's a mix. Brain games like Fib Busters (facts about their own subject) and Cyborg Swarm (quick maths) keep the learning going. The rest are just for fun: a reward they've earned by learning first.
Can my child learn in their home language?
Yes. Choose from over 20 languages, including Polish, Urdu, Arabic, Romanian and Welsh. The tutor explains in that language and gives the key subject words in English, because the exams are in English.
Can learners talk to their tutor instead of typing?
Yes. Tap the microphone and speak, and the tutor can read its replies out loud in its own voice.
What are the videos and pictures?
While they learn, their tutor can find short videos and pictures or diagrams on exactly what they're discussing, right inside the app. Videos can come with a quick quiz for extra coins, and they can tap a picture to ask their tutor about it.
Learn loads. Have a blast.
Your tutor is waiting, and so is the arcade. Let's make revision the best part of your day.
