What your child experiences, what you get to see, and how your family's data is treated — the three things a parent actually wants to know before handing a kid a math app.
Mr. Cadabra explains each step out loud in a warm voice, draws it on a whiteboard, and asks the next question instead of handing over the answer — the way a good human tutor works. He never does the homework for them: the board waits for your child's answer at every step.
And he stays on task: MyTutor is math only. He won't chat about games or gossip, won't discuss other students, and politely refuses every attempt to pull him off topic — including the creative ones kids try.
The board never runs ahead of the student.
The parent view — read-only, always current. (Sample data.)
Your parent code opens a read-only dashboard: how your child is doing, where to help next, real accuracy from real scored checks, and honest time-on-task — a minute counts only when your child is actually working, so "42 minutes today" means 42 minutes of math, not 42 minutes of an open tab.
📬 And once a week, the summary comes to you — see the preview below.
Every Friday: minutes of real work, units advanced, checks passed, and one suggestion for the week ahead — the check-in a good tutor would give you, written automatically. Included with every plan at launch.

Maya's week with MyTutor
The tutor talks; your child types. No student voice is recorded or sent anywhere — there's no microphone feature to worry about.
We never sell student data and show no ads. We don't ask children for email, phone, photos, or location — a first name (any name you like) and a code is all it takes.
You get the codes, you see the dashboard, and you can have your child's data deleted any time with one email. Formal parent accounts with consent are rolling out with launch.
The full plain-language policy is at Parents & Privacy — written to be read, not scrolled past.
Take the two-minute sample lesson — you'll know immediately whether this clicks for your child.
One code for your child, one read-only code for you. Each child in the family gets their own code, dashboard, and pace.
A short placement check finds the right starting point; then units turn gold, badges land in the trophy case, and your parent view keeps you in the loop.
