GRADE 7 · MATH

I scanned my worksheet — I don't get question 4.

Question 4 is 3x + 7 = 22. Let's solve it together:

  1. 1. Subtract 7 from both sides → 3x = 15
  2. 2. Divide both sides by 3 → x = 5

Check it: 3 × 5 + 7 = 22 ✓ Want to try question 5 the same way?

What you get

One tutor. Every subject. Full visibility.

Three things matter most on a school night: real teaching, help with the actual homework, and knowing what's going on. K12Buddy is built around all three.

Frontier AI, kid-sized

The same class of AI behind today's leading assistants, adapted for your child's grade — K–2 through high school — across math, science, English, history, computer science, and foreign languages.

Homework scanning

Snap a photo of any homework problem and get help understanding it — the scanner reads the page so your child can ask the tutor about the exact question in front of them.

Parent dashboard

Parents own the account. See every chat, export everything, delete everything — one tap. Your child does the learning; you keep the keys.

How it works

Parents set it up. Kids get unstuck.

STEP 1

You create the account

A parent or teacher signs up and gives verifiable consent before a child ever chats. Add your students and their grade levels — it takes about a minute.

STEP 2

Your child asks anything

Type a question or scan the homework. The AI tutor explains the method at their level, then checks understanding with practice — XP, streaks, and badges keep it going.

STEP 3

You follow along

Your dashboard shows what was studied and where to help next. No mystery apps, no guessing what the AI said.

Trust & safety

Safety isn't a feature.
It's the architecture.

K12Buddy is designed for children, which means it's designed for their parents. Nothing happens without your consent, and nothing is hidden from your view.

The honest comparison

Kids are already using AI. The question is how.

General chatbots weren't built for children, and answer apps weren't built for parents. K12Buddy was built for both.

Questions, answered

What parents ask us

Is K12Buddy safe for my child?

Yes. Accounts are created by parents or teachers with COPPA-compliant consent, content guardrails are tuned for K–12, and data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Your dashboard shows exactly what's being discussed.

Will it just hand over answers?

K12Buddy is built for understanding: it walks through problems step by step and rewards practice with XP, streaks, and badges. And because every conversation is visible in your parent dashboard, nothing is a black box.

What does it cost?

The K12Buddy mobile app is free during launch, and web access is included — no card required, and no ads. If pricing ever changes, account holders will be told clearly and in advance.

What grades and subjects are covered?

Every grade from kindergarten through 12th, across six core subjects: math, science, English, history, computer science, and foreign languages — with explanations adapted to your child's level.

How does parental consent work?

A parent or teacher creates and holds the account, and approves access before a child uses the tutor. You can review activity, adjust access, or delete data at any time.

What happens to my family's data?

It stays yours. We don't sell personal data, we handle it to COPPA and FERPA standards, and you can request deletion whenever you choose. The details are in our privacy policy.
