Stop being the only thinking partner in a room of 30.

Bring a Socratic tutor to every desk.

"I think 5/8 is bigger because 8 is more pieces..."

Interesting! Let me draw that...

Which shaded part is bigger?

"Oh! The sixths are bigger pieces!" 💡

The Reality

Research says 1:1 is the gold standard. Your roster says 30 to 1.

You already know what works: sitting with a kid, asking questions, drawing on a whiteboard, letting them think out loud until something clicks.

But in a 60-minute block with 30 students, that's 2 minutes per kid. And that's before you factor in transitions, behaviors, and the kid who needs you to start from three grade levels back.

custom plans needed daily

True differentiation would require 30 custom plans every single day. That isn't just difficult — it's ridiculous.

(Trust me — I lived this for nearly a decade as a teacher and instructional coach.)

So you pull small groups and hope for the best. You assign lessons in other apps according to MAP scores. You watch the timer go off knowing you didn't reach everyone.

It's not a you problem. The math was never going to work.

The Solution

What if every kid had a thinking partner — every single day?

Simili is an AI math tutor built by a former teacher, interventionist, and instructional coach.

It does what you do: it scaffolds with a whiteboard and questions to build the connection a student needs to move one step closer to grade-level content.

You teach your small group with 100% of your attention. Simili handles the rest of the room — not with busywork, but with real, voice-based math conversations.

The magic that happens when you finally get 1:1 time with a kid? Now it happens for every student.

How It Works

Real learning, not busywork

01
🗣️

Students talk. Simili listens.

Breakthroughs don't happen through multiple choice. Students think out loud — the way real learning works.

02
🎨

When stuck, Simili draws.

No hints. Simili finds the gap and draws on a whiteboard to unlock them — just like you would at your small group table.

03
📊

Kill "assign and hope."

While you teach your small group, Simili captures every student's reasoning — showing you exactly who had a breakthrough and who needs you tomorrow.

Built by a Teacher

I built this because I lived this.

After nearly a decade as a classroom teacher, math interventionist, and instructional coach, I know the impossible math of trying to reach every kid.
