Synthesis Tutor
Synthesis Tutor is an AI maths companion for children that teaches foundations interactively, grown from an experimental school started at SpaceX.
About this tool
Synthesis Tutor is a personalised maths companion for children. It aims to help kids master foundational maths and then go further, using an interactive, digitally native approach rather than digitised worksheets. The goal, in the company’s words, is to show children they can learn anything when topics are taught well.
Synthesis traces its origins to an experimental school started in 2014 at SpaceX, where it was available only to a handful of families. Today its community is international, and Synthesis Tutor is offered to families as an app-based learning experience at home.
