The AI math tutor that teaches like you do

Students speak and draw their math. Live 1-on-1 help in your own voice watches every step.

Goblins lets students speak and draw to learn math. That lets the tutor pinpoint exactly where mistakes and misconceptions arise. Live 1-on-1 help arrives in whatever language the student thinks in.

The tutor teaches the misconception, never the answer. It reads the written steps and the spoken reasoning, then teaches the exact gap with mini lessons and visuals.

How it works in a classroom

Share an assignment from thousands of standards-aligned skills, organized by the curricula you already teach, or upload any worksheet. Students get to work, and the tutor watches every canvas in the room at once. Teachers who want it can give the tutor their own voice and face, an option students and teachers both love.

You get formative insights and session replays of the written work live, instead of a grading pile.

First nine weeks he might've done his homework once. And I give homework four and a half times a week out of five days. ... You haven't heard me complain about him once. He's a hundred percent in the class right now.

Rich Grell · HS Math Teacher, 22 yrs

I cannot split myself up into 30 pieces. ... It truly is powerful because there's like 30 of mes in the computer.

Bobbye Graboyes · 26-year math teacher

It forces them to really think about what they're doing and understand their process. ... They have to prove it. They have to show all of their work and it's been great.

Elementary, middle, and high school

Elementary works, with grade 4 and below in beta.

Middle school is the sweet spot, because stuck usually means a gap from an earlier grade. The tutor goes and finds it.

High school gets Algebra and beyond.

Frequently asked questions

It sees the written work live, stroke by stroke, and hears the student reason out loud, across K-12 math with grade 4 and below in beta. That is how help lands at the exact step where thinking went sideways instead of after a wrong final answer. Teachers who want it can give the tutor their own face and voice.

The tutor teaches the misconception, never the answer. It asks Socratic questions about the step that went wrong and draws visuals and mini lessons next to the problem, so the student rebuilds the idea instead of copying a solution.
