Two brothers who did the math drills
We grew up at the kitchen table with a worksheet and a pencil. Now we are parents at the same table.
Most nights it was the same. A worksheet at the kitchen table. Then one problem we could not solve, and nobody to ask. Our parents were tired after a long day. Patience ran out, and the yelling started. Sometimes we copied the answers from the back of the book. We got caught.
The drills were not fun. They were repetition. But they worked: a 97% final grade in Grade 12 advanced math, then a Big 5 bank directorship and an engineering career at one of North America's largest tech companies. Not genius. Foundation.
Now we are parents, and the same scenes play out at our own kitchen tables. The worksheets have changed. The nights have not.
And the options today still leave busy parents holding the bag:
- Tutoring centres cost $200 to $400 a month, plus the driving, the waiting and the marking.
- Edutainment apps are fun for 20 minutes, and thin on real mastery.
- Free worksheets and videos still make you the curriculum planner at 9pm.
So we built what we wanted for our own kids: a short lesson, then the reps, matched to Canadian curricula. And two things for parents:
- Progress tracking and reports. You see that the work happened, and you see your child getting better.
- An AI tutor that only speaks math. It never hands out the answer, so there is no back of the book to copy from. It is there at 8:30pm, and it never loses patience.
If your evenings look like ours, you already know why Q(t)πAI exists.
