For adult educators
Five answers about a learner. One app made just for them.
No code, no learner logins, nothing to install. Tested and answer-checked before your learner ever sees it.
Who it's for
Built for adult learners.
Most AI tools for teachers are made for children's classrooms. This one is made for yours: grown-ups studying around shifts, kids and bus rides, often coming back to school with a lot riding on it.
-
GED prep
Math and reading practice set in their own world: a kitchen, a warehouse floor, a care visit.
-
High-school diploma
Practice on the exact skill they keep missing, at their own pace, on their own phone.
-
ESL
Plain wording, read-aloud on every screen, and English, Spanish or both, with a one-tap switch.
-
Workforce
Built around the job they have now, or the one they want next.
Three learners you'll meet on this page
- Darnell, 34Line cook in Federal Hill. Working toward his GED; fractions are his wall.
- Keisha, 41Home health aide. Working toward her diploma; medication labels are her wall.
- Marisol, 36Front desk at a family auto shop in Highlandtown. Spanish first. GED math; percentages on invoices are her wall.
All three are invented, but you know all three.
It talks to learners as adults. Never childish, never shaming, never on a clock.
How it works
Every app starts with a SPARK.
You answer five plain questions about one learner. No prompts to write, no settings to learn. Here they are for Darnell, who is invented, but you know him.
-
S · Student
Who are they, and where does their day go?
A first name, their work, when and where they study.
For DarnellDarnell, 34. Line cook in Federal Hill. Studies on his phone, on the bus.
-
P · Purpose
What are they working toward?
GED math, a reading level, a certificate, a better job.
For DarnellHis GED. The math test is the one thing standing in his way.
-
A · Area of struggle
What's the one thing they keep missing?
The wall they hit every time. You already know it.
For DarnellFractions and word problems. Freezes when a timer starts.
-
R · Real-life interests
What do they love?
Their job, their team, their music, their family. The app is built out of it.
For DarnellThe Ravens. His kitchen: crab cakes, Old Bay, batch sizes.
-
K · Keep and avoid
How do they learn best, and what should it never do?
Short or long, pictures or words, and anything that shuts them down.
For DarnellShort bursts, real examples, hints that explain why. Never timers or red X's.
Five answers in. An app made for Darnell comes out.
The engine plans it, builds it, tests it and checks every answer. You open it on your phone, try it as your learner, then share it with a link or a QR code.

The teaching model
How every app teaches.
Every app follows the same five beats, built on established research about how adults learn.
-
1Teach
Show one, then fade it.
It opens with why this skill matters for their goal, then works one example in their world. The help fades as they get it.
-
2Practice
Pull it from memory.
Every screen asks them to do something. Wrong choices are built from real, common mistakes, so a miss tells you something.
-
3Reinforce
Bring it back later.
Anything missed comes back later in the session and again next time. Once two skills are taught, they get mixed, the way a real test mixes them.
-
4Measure
Against their own past.
Getting started, getting there, solid. No percentages, grades or leaderboards. A skill counts as solid when it holds up on another day.
-
5Clarity
One idea per screen.
No clock on the math. Any screen can be read aloud or simplified, and the learner can always flag it, skip it or stop.
It doesn't just quiz Darnell. It teaches him.
In every app
Always on, in every app.
You don't switch these on. Every app the engine builds has them.
Saved progress + a resume code
Refresh-proof. A short code picks up where they left off, on another device.
Simplify this
Rewords the screen to a 5th-grade reading level. Same meaning, plainer words.
Read it to me
One tap, and the screen is read aloud.
Picture it
See the question as a picture: fraction bars, number lines, the line on the label.
Hints that explain why
A hint, a bigger hint, then "show me how." Always with the reason.
Flag and come back
Mark a question, keep going, and find it again in one list.
Kind feedback
No red X's, no shaming scores. It talks about the work, never the person.
Works on an old phone
Big tap targets, readable type, and light enough for a weak signal.
A checked answer key
Every answer is checked before a learner ever sees the app.
Before you share
The Learner Test.
Before you publish, walk through the app as your learner would. Seven checks.
- Open it on your phone, as your learner.
- Answer two right and two wrong.Are the hints helpful? Is the feedback kind?
- Check three answers yourself.
- Tap Simplify and Read it to me.
- Refresh halfway through.Did it remember where you were?
- Flag one question and find it again.
- Ask yourself: would anything here frustrate them?
Then share it with one learner first.
The tech should never be the hard part.
If they struggle, it should be with fractions, not with the app.
Privacy
Privacy, plainly.
- A first name only, or an invented one.
- Never last names, phone numbers, addresses, birthdates or ID numbers.
- Learners never sign in, so we never hold learner data.
For centers
Bring it to your whole team.
One place for every instructor at your center to build for their own learners.
Team seats
Every instructor gets a seat. Everyone builds for their own learners, under one account.
A director dashboard
See what your team has built, and where learners get stuck, without a single learner's name.
Your own address
Apps live at

Start with one learner.
Five answers. One app. On any phone.
