Families love the results, when they come. They also pay $35 to $65 an hour, and deal with cancellations and a new tutor every few months.
Great, if you can afford it.
Closed beta this winter
The tutor that actually shows up.
Akadi is a live AI tutor built around the exams that count. Dot calls at the times you set, makes you do the thinking, and sends your parents proof of progress every week.

Dot
Akadi tutor · Algebra II · 45 min
Hey Maya! Last week you crushed factoring. Today we take on the quadratic formula. Ready?
✕Not now
✓Let's go
Meet Dot
Your tutor has a face. Go ahead, poke it.
Dot is the one who calls, teaches and cheers. Spin Dot, pet the fur, boop the nose. Turn your sound on. Leave Dot alone for a while and see what happens.
The problem
Tutoring is broken. It is either out of reach or unreliable.
Clear structure and fair prices. But nobody calls if you skip, so the subscription quietly goes unused.
Content without commitment.
Fast and always on. They hand over the answer instead of teaching it, and they do not know what your exam will ask.
Answers, not understanding.
How it works
Four steps, three sessions a week, one goal: the exam.
1
Diagnose
A short adaptive check maps what you know and where the gaps are, topic by topic. It repeats every few weeks.
2
Teach
Live sessions with Dot, matched to what your exam actually tests. Dot leads, asks, and waits for your answer.
3
Commit
Dot calls at your set times. You pick the stakes that keep you showing up, from parent check-ins to a public goal.
4
Prove
Exam-style tasks, graded the way the real test is. Progress you can see, not hours on an invoice.
Commitment, your way
Duolingo commits you to a streak. Akadi commits you to a result.
Motivation runs out by week three. So Akadi lets each student choose what holds them to it. Try the switches.
2 of 4 commitments on. Most beta families will start with two.

Maya showed up every time this week. Quadratics are clicking. Next up: functions on Thursday.
For parents
You see progress, not invoices.
Every week you get a short report against the exam standard: what was covered, what stuck, and what comes next. Dot does the check-ins so you do not have to nag. Dot is always labeled as AI and never speaks as you.

The reliability of software, the push of a great tutor.

Safe by design
Built for kids from day one.
Always labeled AI
Dot is a character, not a person, and never pretends to be a parent, a teacher, or a friend.
Parents hold the keys
Parents decide what gets shared, with whom, and can switch any commitment off.
Private by default
Public goals are opt-in and show a target only, never grades or test results.
FAQ
Questions families ask
Who is Akadi for?
Students preparing for an exam that matters, and the parents who want to see them get there. We start with math.
Is Dot a real person?
No. Dot is Akadi's AI tutor, a fuzzy little character with a warm voice. Sessions are live and spoken, and Dot is always clearly labeled as AI.
When can we start?
A small closed beta opens this winter. Waitlist families get invited first, in the order they signed up.
What does it cost?
Beta families pay nothing. After the beta, Akadi will cost a fraction of a private tutor. We will share pricing with the waitlist before launch.
What if my kid ignores Dot?
Dot gets a little sad, then tries again. If sessions keep getting skipped, the parent report says so, and the commitments you chose kick in.
