What it helps with

Built for the work English actually asks of you.

For students: what to bring it. For teachers: where it fits the course you already teach.

  • Close reading — working through what a passage is doing, not just what it says
  • Building a thesis — turning a vague reaction into a claim someone could argue with
  • Essay structure — topic sentences, evidence integration, transitions, counterargument
  • Using evidence well — how to introduce a quotation, and how to actually unpack it
  • Devices and technique — metaphor, point of view, form, and how they carry meaning
  • Difficult texts — Shakespeare, 19th-century novels, poetry, taken line by line
  • Revision — strengthening the argument you drafted, not replacing it

Try asking

I have to write about symbolism in The Great Gatsby but I don't know where to start. Help me turn this into an actual thesis: 'Macbeth changes a lot in the play.' I don't understand what this stanza is saying — can you walk me through it? Here's my body paragraph. Is my evidence actually supporting my point?

Paste one in, or ask in your own words — the tutor meets you where your draft is.

The one thing it won't do

Ask this tutor to write your essay and it will decline — every time. What it will do is help you build one: find the argument, structure the paragraphs, test the evidence, tighten the draft. The thinking, and the writing, stay yours. That's the point.

Behind this tutor

Part of Synchro Education — built to teach, not to answer.

Maybe a teacher sent you this link, or a colleague forwarded it. Either way, here's the whole picture: who builds this, how it works, and why it's safe to hand to a classroom.

Synchro tutors already power learning for private education clients — the same platform behind this tutor, free for every teacher and student.

Content partner

John Wiley & Sons

Every response draws on licensed academic publications, starting with John Wiley & Sons — the first of our publishing partnerships, with more in progress.

Safeguards

Built for the classroom — by design, not by policy.

General-purpose AI tools weren't made for K–12. There are no guardrails on what a student can ask or how they use the answer. Synchro is different at the architecture level.

Licensed content only

Every answer is generated from vetted, licensed academic publications — never the open internet. No misinformation, no outdated sources, no surprises.

Zero data collection

No names, emails, or IP addresses — ever. Sessions are anonymous by design, so there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to protect.

A mentor, not an answer machine

Ask a Synchro tutor to write the essay and it declines — then coaches the student through building their own, with guided questions and step-by-step reasoning.

Oversight when your school wants it

Schools that adopt Synchro can have concerning student questions flagged to staff and set the hours tutors are available. The guardrails exist — your school decides when to turn them on.

Nothing to sign up for. Nothing to worry about.

Students and teachers can use Synchro Education tutors with zero accounts, zero personal information, and zero data collection. We don't collect names, emails, or IP addresses — ever. Each session is anonymous by design.

FAQ

The questions teachers ask first.

Won't students just use this to cheat?

The tutors are built to refuse that job. Ask for a finished essay or a straight answer sheet and they redirect into guided questions, brainstorming, and step-by-step reasoning — the way a good teacher would. And for schools that adopt Synchro, concerning use can be flagged directly to the staff you choose.

What happens to my students' data?

Nothing — because we never collect it. No names, emails, or IP addresses; no accounts; no persistent profiles. Sessions use randomized, non-attributable IDs solely for technical support. Read the full privacy policy.

Do I need district approval to use this?

That's your district's call, and every policy is different. What we can tell you: there are no student accounts to create and no personal data leaves your classroom — which removes the concerns most technology policies are written around. Share this page and our privacy summary with your IT director; we're glad to answer their questions directly.

Why isn't there a Math or Science tutor?

Because we're not ready to do them well. Multi-step, visually represented problem solving is still an area where today's AI makes mistakes — and a tutor that's confidently wrong is worse than no tutor. We'd rather cover four subjects with content we can stand behind than six we can't.

Is the free tier actually free?

Yes — unlimited use, permanently, for teachers and students. No trial clock and no locked features at the tutor level. Schools pay only when they want school-level tools: coursework upload, analytics, safety alerting, and scheduling controls.
