Tutory
AI tutor that turns every assignment into a Socratic conversation, with proof of learning for every student.
What is Tutory?
Tutory is an AI-powered conversational assessment platform designed for schools. It turns traditional reading assignments into one-on-one Socratic tutoring conversations, giving every student a personal tutor that knows exactly what the teacher covered. Rather than handing in a page, students talk through their thinking, and the teacher receives a full transcript with evidence tied to a shared rubric. The result is proof of learning that reveals not just whether a student got it, but how they got there — including where they struggled and how long it took.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Tutory create the rubric?
Tutory drafts the rubric automatically from the reading, unit, or lesson you hand over. You can keep those criteria as-is, edit them, or replace them with your own rubric.
Does Tutory grade students?
No. Tutory never assigns a grade. It tags evidence and shows the exact turn in the conversation that the evidence came from, and the final mark is made by a teacher who can see both the evidence and the transcript.
Where is my school's data stored?
Data residency options are available across North America today, with European regions coming. The region is a setting on your division, not a support ticket.
Do students know their teacher sees the conversation?
Yes. Before the first question, every student is told that the transcript goes to their teacher. There is no way to switch this notice off.
Can Tutory be used as a secret monitoring tool?
No. There is no monitoring mode and no hidden surveillance. The conversation is framed as proof of learning, and the student is always informed that the teacher will read the transcript.
What happens if a student is struggling during the conversation?
The tutor probes where the thinking is thin and clears up misconceptions. It never hands over the answer — it asks the next question until the student gets there themselves. You'll see exactly where in the transcript this happened.
Can Tutory summarize how the whole class is doing?
Teachers can ask Tutory questions across all conversations in the class, such as "Who's still shaky on energy transfer?" Tutory reads across the whole room and shows the exact turns behind everything it tells you.
