Smart Tutor

Smart Tutor: a private AI tutor on WhatsApp for anything you want to learn

Smart Tutor turns your hero into a patient private tutor you text. Languages, math, exam prep, coding or music theory: your hero builds a course around your level, sends voice-note lessons with explanations in your language, quizzes you, checks your homework and sends a progress summary every week, on WhatsApp or Telegram.

Nothing goes out without your OK.

Example conversation

A good private tutor is the fastest way to learn. Most people never get one.

Everyone knows the shortcut: one patient person who knows the subject, meets you at your level, explains it again in a different way when it does not land, and checks your work before the test. Private tutors are expensive, booked weeks ahead and only available at the hours that suit them, which is rarely 22:30 on a Tuesday when the homework finally makes no sense.

Apps fill part of the gap, but they teach everybody the same course in the same order, and they cannot look at your worksheet, hear how you pronounce a word, or notice that you have been stuck on fractions for three weeks. Smart Tutor turns your hero into the private tutor you text: on WhatsApp or Telegram, by voice note or by photo, at your pace and in your language.

Picture this

What a week with Smart Tutor looks like

The first story is how Smart Tutor started at HeroKit. The others are illustrative scenarios with example names.

How it started: our founder and his own hero

Spoken Arabic, one voice note at a time

  • The moment

    He wanted to speak everyday Arabic with neighbours and colleagues, not read textbook grammar. Classes were at fixed hours, and apps taught the formal language nobody uses at the market.

  • You send your hero

    “Teach me spoken Arabic, the way people really talk here. Short lessons, ten minutes a day.”

  • Your hero

    His hero learned the local dialect, built a course of short voice lessons with the Arabic spoken clearly and every phrase explained in his own language, then ran the lessons every morning, repeated the phrases he got wrong and quizzed him on Fridays.

  • The result

    A daily lesson that fits between meetings, a tutor who never runs out of patience, and real conversations within weeks.

Illustrative example

Example: Noa, 15, stuck on algebra

Homework that finally makes sense at 22:30

  • The moment

    Three questions left, a test tomorrow, and nobody awake who remembers how to factor a quadratic.

  • You send your hero

    “A photo of the worksheet and: "I don't get question 4, don't give me the answer."”

  • Your hero

    Explains the method step by step on a similar example, asks Noa to try question 4, checks her working and points to the one line where the sign flipped.

  • The result

    Noa solves question 4 herself and gets the next two right on the first try.

Illustrative example

Picture this: a nursing student before finals

A mock exam the week before the real one

  • The moment

    Two hundred pages of notes, no idea which topics are weak, and a habit of rereading instead of testing.

  • You send your hero

    “Forward the lecture notes and: "Quiz me every evening this week, harder each day."”

  • Your hero

    Builds questions from the notes, sends ten each evening, explains every wrong answer, then runs a timed mock exam on Sunday and lists the three weakest topics.

  • The result

    Revision time goes to the topics that need it, and the real exam feels familiar.

Example: an adult learner studying guitar theory

The progress summary that keeps you going

  • The moment

    After a month it is hard to tell whether anything is improving, so practice slips.

  • You send your hero

    “Nothing. The summary arrives every Sunday.”

  • Your hero

    Sends a short weekly report: lessons done, quiz scores, what improved, what to repeat, and next week's plan, matched to the free slots in the calendar.

  • The result

    Visible progress, a plan for the week, and a reason not to skip Tuesday.

Illustrative example

What your hero can teach

If you can describe what you want to learn, your hero can build a course around it. A few ideas:

Spoken languages and dialects

Everyday phrases first, spoken clearly in voice notes, explained in your language, with pronunciation feedback on the voice notes you send back.

Try: “Teach me the Spanish I need for a week in Mexico City.”

Math and science

Step-by-step explanations on similar examples, then you try the real question and your hero checks your working.

Try: “Explain derivatives like I am fifteen, then give me three to try.”

Exam preparation

Questions built from your own notes, spaced over the days before the exam, with a timed mock exam at the end.

Try: “Quiz me on chapters 3 to 5 every evening until the exam on the 20th.”

Coding

Small exercises, a review of the code you paste in, and a hint before the answer when you are stuck.

Try: “Teach me Python loops with one exercise a day.”

Music theory and instruments

Theory in short lessons, practice plans that fit your week, and progress tracked over time.

Try: “Help me learn the circle of fifths in two weeks.”

Professional skills

Negotiation, public speaking, a new tool at work or a certification, broken into short daily lessons.

Try: “Prepare me for a project management certification in six weeks.”

How a Smart Tutor lesson works

You start by telling your hero what you want to learn, why, and how much time you have. Your hero asks a few questions to find your level, then proposes a plan: how many lessons a week, how long each one is, and when they arrive. You can change any of it by sending a message.

Lessons come as voice notes, text and, when it helps, a short document or worksheet. In a language course you hear the phrase spoken, read it, get the meaning in your own language, and send a voice note back so your hero can correct your pronunciation. In a math or exam course you get the idea, a worked example, and then a question to try yourself.

Every few lessons there is a short quiz. Wrong answers come back with an explanation and return later in the course, so the hard parts get more practice. Once a week you get a progress summary with your scores, what improved, what to repeat and next week's plan.

Because Smart Tutor is your hero, the lessons use the same memory and calendar as everything else. Your hero knows you are travelling on Thursday and moves the lesson, remembers the words you struggle with, and can remind you before an exam that is already in your calendar.

Learning support, not homework done for you

Smart Tutor is built to help you understand, not to hand in work that is not yours. When you ask about homework, your hero explains the method on a similar example, asks you to try, and checks your answer. Ask your hero to "just write the essay" and they will offer to help you plan, outline and improve your own draft instead.

Parents can set this up for a child's hero too: lessons, quizzes and homework help, with the same approval rules as everything else your hero does.

Your hero, your name, your photo

Nobody else lets you shape the assistant you talk to. As a tutor, your hero can take the name and face of a teacher you would like to learn from, and keep the patient, encouraging tone you choose.

Pick the name people see

Call your hero whatever you like. The display name updates on WhatsApp and on Telegram together, so it is the same person on both apps.

Upload your own profile photo

Use a photo, a logo or one of our eight example looks. You upload it once and it shows on both channels. There is no generated face: the picture is the one you choose.

Write the about line and the personality

Short and formal, warm and chatty, or somewhere in between. Your hero keeps the tone you set in every chat and every draft.

One hero that does everything

Each account has one hero. The look is only the look: every hero handles email, calendar, tasks, groups, research and reports the same way.
