Maya Tutor: a private tutor for children

Maya is a private tutor for primary-school children. Your child tells her what the class learned today, and she teaches exactly that: she explains it, asks questions, and corrects without scolding. When an answer is wrong, Maya does not say "try again". She explains why that particular answer looked right, and where exactly it went wrong. What did not land today, she remembers, and she comes back to it in the next lesson. Maya works in the browser and on iPhone, and her screens are available in English, Hebrew and nine other languages. The first lesson is free, and no card is needed.

Who is Maya for?

Maya was built first for parents of children in grades 1 to 6, ages 6 to 12: the years when homework happens at the kitchen table and a parent is the one explaining fractions at eight in the evening. Her catalog runs from grade 1 to grade 10, so there is material for older children too. Maya talks at the child's level and adjusts as the lesson goes, and she does not get tired of being asked the same question for the tenth time. That makes her a good fit for children who need one more explanation and a little more patience.

How does a lesson with Maya go?

Tell. Your child tells Maya what they learned today: by talking, by typing, or by photographing the page in the notebook or workbook.
Learn. Maya explains that exact topic, not a general chapter around it, in words a child of that age uses.
Tap to answer. Maya asks questions with answers to choose from. Your child taps the one that looks right; there is no typing and no empty box.
Why the wrong answer was tempting. When an answer is wrong, Maya explains why it looked reasonable and where exactly the mistake is. The child understands the mistake instead of only learning that they made one.
She remembers. What was hard is written down, and in the next lesson she comes back to it.

What does Maya teach?

Math, Hebrew, science, English and social studies. The catalog holds 265 lessons written in advance by grade and topic: 80 in math, 50 in Hebrew, 50 in science, 44 in English and 41 in social studies. Each lesson is built around the mistake children really make on that topic. In grade 4, for example, a common answer to 1/4 + 1/4 is 2/8: the child adds the top numbers and the bottom numbers. Maya shows that the bottom number says how many pieces the cake was cut into, and taking one more piece does not cut it again. When a topic is not in the catalog, your child simply tells Maya what they learned, and she builds the lesson around it. The full list is on the page lessons by subject and grade. Parents looking for an online tutor for their child or for homework help will find a detailed page for each.

How does Maya keep children safe?

Maya is meant for children with a parent nearby. She does not ask a child for an email address, a precise location or a list of friends. The defaults are protective: there is no social network between children, no public sharing and no advertising inside the lesson. A live lesson with an AI model opens only after a parent confirms a link sent by email. A photo of a page or a voice recording is sent to the AI provider to build the lesson and is not kept by Maya once the request is finished. From the parent screen you can pause AI lessons or delete everything. The details are in the notice to parents, the child safety page, the AI disclosure and the privacy policy.

What does Maya cost?

The first lesson is free, and no card is needed. After that, Maya Plus is a monthly or yearly subscription that can be cancelled at any time. The price for your country is shown in the app and on the checkout screen before you pay. Billing, renewal and refunds are explained on the subscriptions page.

Who is behind Maya?

Maya was built in Israel by Michal Topchiashvili. Maya Tutor is not Autodesk Maya, the 3D software; it has no connection to the Maya civilization; and it is not a marketplace that matches families with human tutors. It is one tutor, for one child, who remembers that child. There is more about the product on the about page, and journalists will find a fact sheet on the press page. Questions and requests go to support.
