I use AI to build your child an autonomous learning ecosystem around their actual courses.
A translation layer.Your child’s course material is reconstructed into a comprehensive learning asset that captures what their professor actually cares about. Their intent, their expectations, what matters and why. This is the foundation everything else is built from.
Modalities for meaningful, sequenced engagement.Interactive podcasts, videos, infographics, guided walkthroughs. The same material delivered in whatever way your child’s brain actually takes it in. Sequenced so each idea lands before the next one arrives.
Active reconstruction of knowledge.A guided tutor that asks questions. It finds where understanding breaks down and builds from there. Your child has to prove their understanding at every step. This is how they know they know. The AI cannot hallucinate their competence.
Consolidation.Questions that solidify what they’ve constructed. Notes based on real understanding. Connected, retrievable, theirs.
Everything is stored in the system.Nothing to organize.
Nothing to manage.
Nothing to figure out next.
The system retains everything. Each time your child comes back, it knows where they are.
What your child gets is a way in, a reason to stay, and the experience of genuine learning.When parents call, they usually start in one of two places. Either it’s organization, effort, focus. Why their child just will not sit down and do the work. Or it’s the opposite. Their child is burning out, grinding for hours, and will not listen to any suggestion that there might be a better way.
I reframe it simply: everything you’re seeing in your child makes sense, because they have not been learning. And they have not learned in so long they’ve forgotten what learning actually feels like.
For most parents, this is a relief. Someone is finally making sense of what they’ve been watching for years.
But it can also be hard. Hard to realize you’ve been solving the wrong problem. Hard to sit with how long your child has been struggling inside something that was never going to work. And harder still to see how that, despite your best intentions, has crept into the way you’ve been seeing them.
It’s a crude analogy, but if your child was in a wheelchair, you’d build a ramp.
Dealing with resistance.Many parents are ready to move forward long before their child is. And that makes sense. Your child has been through years of interventions that were solving the wrong problem. Another professional, another program, another thing someone says will help. They’ve heard it before. Why would this be any different?
We talk about this. If your child is resistant, I help you understand where that resistance is coming from and how to talk about what this actually is, in a way that lands differently. This is something they’ve genuinely never experienced. But they need to hear that in a way they can believe, and that conversation matters.
The demo.If you’d like to move forward, we set up a demo session ($250). I get to know your child’s experience. What school has been like for them, what’s been hard, what’s shut down. I help them reframe what’s been going on. And I walk them through the system so they can see what it feels like when the material is actually accessible. This is for both of you to decide whether it’s a fit.
The build.The full program setup is $4,000. I build your child’s learning ecosystem across each of their courses. To do that, I need access to their course materials: syllabi, course outlines, posted lectures, readings. If your child or your family can provide those, great. For families where gathering that is difficult, I source and organize everything for an additional $500.
The walkthrough.Once the system is built, I meet with your child and walk them through it live, in use. I want to see how they respond. What clicks. What they’d want done differently. What adjustments would make it feel like theirs. I take that feedback, make the changes on the backend, and present it again. If there’s more to refine, I refine it. When it’s right, they’re good to go.
I’m always available for troubleshooting. And any improvements I make to the system overall (new features, better tools, refined processes) are upgraded for your child at no additional cost.
Ongoing.You’re free to stop at any point. But if you’d like to carry forward into the next term, I rebuild for each new course individually. $300 per course when your child provides the materials. $500 per course when I source and prepare everything.
A university student with 5 courses: $1,500 to $2,500 per term. A high school student with 4 courses: $1,200 to $2,000 per term.
Some students have functional gaps that go beyond course material. This often shows up in the specific feedback they get from professors, or in persistent struggles with planning, organizing, and managing the invisible demands that sit alongside the learning. Despite real effort, these needs persist, often because the root of the struggle sits outside your child’s awareness or beyond what their executive function can manage independently.
When these patterns surface, I meet with your child to help them understand what’s actually happening. We reframe the experience together as something specific and supportable. From there, I design and build a custom tool shaped around how your child thinks and works, giving them reliable external support for the exact place their thinking breaks down. These tools are refined until they work independently, and your child keeps them going forward.
ChatGPT is a general-purpose tool. It has no idea what your child needs to learn, what understanding looks like for their specific course, or how to sequence information for how their brain processes it. What I build is a learning ecosystem designed around your child’s actual courses, calibrated to what their professor actually cares about, structured to invite genuine engagement.
ChatGPT on its own will happily summarize, explain, and produce flashcards. All things that feel productive but fail to encode learning. The system I build does something different: it puts your child in situations where they’re figuring things out, explaining their thinking, and making decisions with the knowledge. That’s what encodes.
Those tools automate what your child is already doing, and what your child is already doing has stopped working. They produce flashcards. Summaries. Practice questions pulled from surface-level content. All of it avoids engagement. All of it avoids deep understanding.
Your child needs more than flashcards. They need to be put in problems they’re actually figuring out. They need to talk about the material and explain it. They need to make decisions with the knowledge the material is giving them. They need to play. That’s what this system is designed to do. It creates the conditions for genuine learning.
No. And this is critical. Most AI tools, used without structure, will fill in conceptual gaps automatically. The student appears competent, but nothing encodes. When the scaffold disappears (on the exam, in the next course) everything collapses.
This system uses AI differently. The AI asks questions, it does not give answers. It locates where understanding breaks down and builds from there. Your child has to prove their understanding at every step. The AI cannot hallucinate their competence.
University and upper-year high school students. The system is built for students navigating complex course material who are capable of far more than their grades suggest.
After an initial conversation to understand your child’s situation, I build a learning ecosystem around their actual courses. That includes:
Interactive podcasts generated from their course material
A guided tutor calibrated to what they need to understand
Consolidation questions for building real notes based on real understanding
Ongoing upgrades and ongoing technical support
Your child gets tools that meet them where they are — and a way into material that’s been inaccessible until now. Each term, the system gets upgraded for their new courses. They can continue for as long as it’s useful.
If your child genuinely engages with the system and it does not shift their experience, we’ll talk about what needs to change and adjust. These tools work because they have to. I’ve spent hundreds of hours refining them precisely because putting something in front of a struggling student that fails to work reproduces the same shame and failure they’ve already experienced.
That said, this requires participation. Your child has to show up. The system creates the conditions for engagement, but they have to walk through the door.
Book a free 30-minute conversation. We’ll talk about your child. What’s going on, what’s been tried, what the actual struggle looks like. If it sounds like a fit, we go from there.
