Questions

Can’t I just use a chatbot?

For a first draft, maybe. Shukudai also sends the homework to your student, collects their answers, drafts the marking and holds feedback until you release it.

Who checks the homework and the marking?

You do. You review the exact homework before it’s sent, and if you edit it afterwards you review it again. Draft marks stay drafts until you release feedback.

Do my students need an app?

Yes. Students aged 16 and over use the Shukudai app for iPhone or Android, free, through your invite. The app isn’t in the App Store or Google Play yet.

How does pricing work?

Tutors pay monthly for the students they’re actively teaching, with an AI allowance shared across them. Students never pay. You’ll see the exact price before you subscribe.
