An AI homework tutor that emails you what your child did

When your child does homework with an app, it’s hard to know what happened. “Fine” is the usual answer. Sitting beside them every night isn’t realistic, and most apps answer that problem with a parent dashboard that nobody remembers to open.

Astuzo does it differently. Each evening your child uses Astuzo, you get a short email about what they did. You don’t need to open the app or log in. This page explains what’s in it, when it comes and how to use it.

What’s in the email

One short email per child, covering the homework they just did:

• How long your child worked.
• What they worked on, problem by problem, and which topic each problem was from.
• How each one went, for example solved on their own or after a few hints.
• One thing to praise and one thing to practise.

Here’s an example:

Leo’s homework this evening
Grade 6 · 22 minutes
Worked on finding 10%, 25% and 50% of a number (5 problems)
Solved 3 on his own; needed hints on 2, then finished them himself
Checked a sheet of 12 fraction-to-decimal questions: 10 right first time
Praise: started each problem by finding 10% first. Practise: writing fractions like 3/8 as decimals.

An illustration. Real emails may look different.

When does it arrive?

After your child has finished. Astuzo waits until your child has been done for a while, about 45 minutes to an hour, then sends one email covering everything they did in that stretch. If they come back for a second round before then, both rounds go into the same email. You get one email, not one per question.

If your child doesn’t work on any homework with Astuzo that day, there’s no email.

Two or three children?

Each child gets their own email, so you can see who did what without the details getting mixed up.

Is there a report history in the app?

No. The email is the report. There’s no dashboard to check and nothing to remember to open. If you’d like a record, keep the emails or put them in a folder.

Can I switch it off?

Yes, in the parent area of the app. It’s one switch for your account, so turning it off stops the emails for all your children.

What the email is for

The email isn’t a score or a grade. It’s a short note so you can join in without hovering. A few ways parents use it:

• Start the conversation with the praise line. “I saw you worked out 25% by halving 50%. How did you think of that?” goes over better than “How was homework?”
• Turn the practise line into two minutes of play. If it says “the 7 and 8 times tables”, ask a few at dinner or in the car.
• Notice patterns. If the same topic needs hints three evenings in a row, that’s worth a word with the teacher.
• Bring it to the parent-teacher interview. “Fractions to decimals keeps coming up at home” is a specific thing to ask about. Our post on the fall progress report has more questions to ask.
• Check the effort, not just the answers. Twenty minutes with a few hints is a good evening. Six problems “solved” in two minutes is worth a look.

Why an email, not a dashboard

• You read email anyway. A summary that comes to you gets read. A dashboard has to be remembered.
• It’s short. You can read it in under a minute, on your phone, while dinner cooks.
• It respects your child. You see what they worked on and how it went, not a recording of every word. Your child does homework with a tutor, not with a camera on them.

What about privacy?

You own the account. Your child has a simple profile with a first name and grade, and no email address or password. Homework photos are read to understand the question and never stored. Session text is deleted automatically after 90 days. There are no ads, and we never sell family information. Our page for parents explains what we keep and for how long.

How Astuzo works

Your child snaps a photo of their math homework, or a whole worksheet. Spark, our friendly robot tutor, helps one step at a time with hints and questions, using the methods Ontario classrooms use. Spark never just gives the answer. It can check a finished sheet and point to where the thinking went off, so your child fixes it. That evening, the email tells you how it went.

It’s made for Grades 1 to 8 and the Ontario math curriculum.
