Personalized math tutoring, down to the pencil stroke
Live 1-on-1 help that reads this student's strokes and hears their reasoning.
Goblins personalizes the help itself, not just the path. Most software that uses the word means an algorithm scored the answers and picked the next worksheet. The tutor responds to the thinking this student just did, mid-problem.
Goblins lets students speak and draw to learn math. That lets the tutor pinpoint exactly where mistakes and misconceptions arise. Two students with the same wrong answer get two different conversations, because they made two different mistakes.
Personal to how this kid actually thinks
The tutor sees every stroke and hears the student think out loud, in whatever language they think in. It asks about the exact step where things bent, teaches that misconception with a mini lesson and a visual, and never hands over the solution.
When the misconception traces to a foundation from two grades back, the tutor goes there first.
Your side is personal too
Insights
Formative insights and session replays land per student, on the written work, so pull-asides and small groups pick themselves.
“Let's back this up to maybe something that we should have done two chapters ago. Do you understand this? Can you explain this? Okay, great. So from there, we're going to build on that and get back up to question number one.”
Rich Grell · HS Math Teacher, 22 yrs
“I get to in real time see how they're doing and if they understand it, and I can pull small groups. ... It's really, really been a game changer for me.”
Renee Schuch · 6th Grade Math · Deer Valley
“It's a little me in the computer. And it's like telling them, guiding them, questioning their thought processes. ... You have automatic homework help built into the program. And it's so powerful.”

Frequently asked questions
The tutor responds to this student's actual work, live, as they draw and speak their reasoning. Two students with the same wrong answer get two different conversations, because they made two different mistakes. Teachers who want it can give the tutor their own face and voice.
It teaches the specific misconception, never the answer. The tutor asks Socratic questions about the step that went wrong and draws visuals and mini lessons next to the problem. When the misconception traces to a foundation from an earlier grade, it goes there first and builds back up.
The teacher view shows who is stuck right now and on which problem, straight from the live written work. Small groups and pull-asides pick themselves while the period is still running.
Yes. Goblins tracks every student against your state's standards continuously, and the analytics export per student, per standard, and per skill for teachers, coaches, and admins.
They work in it. Students speak and draw in whatever language they think in, and the tutor teaches in that language, with no supported-languages list and no cap.
The free tier gives every student 15 live help-enabled problems per month, no credit card required. Goblins Max, priced per school or district, makes live help unlimited and adds standards and engagement reporting.
Yes. Goblins complies with COPPA, FERPA, and student data privacy laws in all 50 states. The Gates Foundation funds Goblins and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative partners with us, and both hold student data handling to a strict bar.
If you're mapping the space, our AI math tutor page walks the live help loop problem by problem, and Goblins across MTSS tiers shows where personalized help sits in an intervention framework.
