Your math book can’t answer a question. HeySensei can.

Homeschool math for grades 6–12 your kid will enjoy, that meets them where they are instead of where the book is. No more “Mom, I don’t get it.”

Pre-Algebra · Lesson 14 · Solving two-step equationsTrial lesson
  1. 2x + 3 = 11
  2. 2x = 8subtract 3 from both sides
  3. x = 4divide both sides by 2

SenseiAn equation is a balance. Whatever we do to one side, we do to the other.

How it works

Keep your book, or don’t. We do the rest.

Your kid does the lesson, the practice and the checking. You see everything.

1
notebook and pencil on the table

Pick up where you are

Saxon, Teaching Textbooks, Math-U-See, CTC, Singapore, or no book at all. Start at your lesson; it adjusts from there.

2
Sensei at the whiteboard, notebook, phone

We teach, answer, grade & report

Sensei explains at the whiteboard and answers when asked. Practice on paper, every line checked. You get the summary.

3

They work on their own

They want to do it. You stay in charge without being the tutor.

A book is one size. Your kid isn’t.

HeySensei shapes the lesson, the practice and the explanations around your kid.

With a bookWith HeySensei
The LessonA static page or video. It can’t answer a question.A teacher at the whiteboard who talks, draws, and answers when your kid asks. They actually want to do it.
The PracticeThe exercises were printed years ago. Every kid gets the same 30 problems, whether they need them or not.Problem sets put together for your kid each day from what they got wrong yesterday. Nothing they already know, nothing they aren’t ready for.
The Stuck MomentCall mom, or Photomath hands over the answer.A hint on the exact step they’re stuck on, right on their handwriting, like a tutor would. Never the answer.
The GradingYou mark it against the answer key. You see that it’s wrong, not where it went wrong.Every handwritten line checked, the wrong step explained.
The ReportGut feel, or one test a year.Every day you see what they did, where they got stuck, and what they’ve mastered. And you can read the whole conversation.

What moms tell us

“Math used to end with one of us in tears. Now he closes the laptop and tells me what Sensei said.”

Mom of 3 · son in 7th grade · Saxon 8/7

“I get to be her mom again at the kitchen table, not the person grading her worksheets.”

Mom of 2 · daughter in 8th grade · Singapore Dimensions 8A

“He got stuck on a word problem, asked for a hint, and figured it out before I even looked up.”

Mom of 4 · son in 6th grade · no book

HeySensei won’t do the math for them. It teaches them until they can.

Behind every lesson is our proprietary HeySensei Math Graph: 10,000 skills from long division to calculus, built on thirty years of learning-science research. It’s what lets Sensei see exactly what your kid knows, what they don’t, and what to teach next.

No shortcuts

Sensei never gives the answer. Your kid shows they get it before moving on.

Foundations first

Kids rarely struggle because they aren’t bright. They missed one concept and it snowballed. The graph finds it and fixes it first.

99% correct, no AI slop

Every lesson lives in the graph, not generated on the fly. When Sensei isn’t sure, he says so.

Questions parents ask first

My kid already asks an app for answers. How is this different?

Those apps hand over the answer. Sensei won’t. He asks what your kid tried, finds the step that went wrong and teaches that step. And the practice happens on paper, where nobody can do it for them.

How much screen time is it?

Sensei teaches on screen. The practice happens on paper. A lesson takes about 25 minutes, plus practice.

Where does my kid’s data go?

Your kid’s work stays on US servers, encrypted, and is only used to teach your kid. We never sell it, never show ads, and no AI company gets it to train on. Safety →

What if it’s wrong?

HeySensei doesn’t make up explanations. Every lesson and every hint comes from the HeySensei Math Graph, a map of every concept from long division to calculus and how each one builds on the last. When it isn’t sure, it says so and shows you. With an expert 1:1 math tutor, a person looks over their work too.

Does this replace me?

It replaces you as the tutor. You still set the course and see everything.

Can we switch mid-year?

Yes. Tell us the book and the lesson.

Didn’t find it? Ask Sensei.He answers from our FAQ, pricing and safety pages, and tells you where the answer came from.

Still not sure? Email us and a person replies within 24 hours. Sensei can’t see your kid’s account and doesn’t do homework here.
