Free, unlimited tutoring for one month
Three or more sessions per week with Aristotle, across any subject your child is working on. No usage caps, no upsells.
May 10 – June 10, 2026
Help us build the world's best tutor.
We're inviting 25 families to join a one-month pilot of Aristotle. Your child gets unlimited, high-quality tutoring for free. We get the feedback we need to make Aristotle great. Everyone wins.
Why this study exists
Real students, real subjects, real outcomes.
Most claims about AI tutoring rely on benchmark scores or short demos. Over four weeks, we'll measure how Aristotle performs as a primary tutor for 25 students — and publish what we find.
What participants get
What's in it for your family
A personalized progress report
At the end of the study, every family receives a full written report on their child's progress — what improved, where they're still working, and how they engaged with the tutor.
A direct line to our research team
Onboarding and wrap-up calls with our researchers, plus weekly check-ins so your feedback shapes the product in real time.
The schedule
Six weeks, end to end
Week 1
May 4 – 10
Onboarding & baseline
A short call with our onboarding team to set goals, establish a baseline, and get your child set up.
Weeks 2 – 5
May 10 – June 10
Tutoring (4 weeks)
Unlimited tutoring with Aristotle, three or more sessions per week. Short weekly surveys keep us close to what's working.
Week 6
June 10 – 17
Wrap-up & report
A closing call with our tutoring team and a written report on your child's progress.
Methodology
Why we can stand behind the results
A real research methodology, not a vibes test.
Our tutoring approach is grounded in the ICAP framework for active learning and SocraticLM, a Socratic-dialogue method that has shown a measurable performance edge over general-purpose models. Every Aristotle response is verified by a human reviewer.
Built with partner schools.
We're running this pilot in partnership with a small group of academically rigorous schools, including students from Stuyvesant, Hunter College High School, Bronx Science, and BASIS Scottsdale. Their input shapes how we measure outcomes.
Findings will be published.
We'll publish the full study results — including methodology, anonymized aggregate outcomes, and the things that didn't go to plan. Participating families receive the report directly.
Who should apply
We're looking for families where:
The student is in middle school, high school, or early college (roughly grades 6–13).
The student has a clear subject or goal to work on — a class they're behind in, a test coming up, or a skill they're trying to build.
A parent or guardian can commit to a short onboarding call and a wrap-up call.
The student can realistically use Aristotle three or more times a week for the four-week tutoring window.
FAQ
Common questions
The pilot runs May 4 – June 17, 2026. Applications close once all 25 slots are filled, so the sooner you apply, the better your chances.
Yes. The full month of tutoring is completely free for study families. After the study ends, families who want to continue can do so at our standard rates — but there's no obligation.
We review every application and select families that fit the goals of the study (subject coverage, grade range, school partnerships). We'll respond within a few business days either way.
Session data is used to measure outcomes for the study and to improve the tutor. Anything we publish externally is aggregated and anonymized. We never share identifiable information about your child.
Aristotle is the tutor — a voice-first AI tutor that uses Socratic dialogue rather than giving answers, with human review on every response. There is no human tutor in the loop on a per-session basis, but our research team is reachable throughout the study.
That's okay. Three is the target average. If something comes up, let us know in the weekly survey.
A laptop or tablet with a microphone and a stable internet connection. That's it.
