How Study Work works
One session, from your child's side to yours — and, at the end, the honest bit about what's under the hood.
1 · The session
A session is a chapter
Your child picks a subject and a session — each one covers a chapter of their textbook. Flashcards come first and prime what's ahead; then the questions, with the tutor guiding all the way through. Fifteen to twenty-five minutes, on any device, and sessions are spaced across the term so nothing gets crammed.
Ready? This one comes back as a question later — watch for it.
2 · The guidance
The guidance is the difference
Every question carries three things: the question, the answer, and the guidance — the method, the common mistakes, and the structure of a proper answer, written the curriculum and textbook's way. That's why the tutor checks and explains work exactly as the school does. And it's why it can't simply hand the answer over: your child works towards it, step by step.
The opposite of pasting homework into a chatbot at 8pm the night before.
3 · Their way
It meets your child where they are
Reading, listening, talking it through, or writing it out by hand and snapping a photo — Study Work works the way your child learns best, in any language. Ask in Afrikaans about an English textbook and the tutor answers in Afrikaans, page reference included.

4 · The companions
Each companion has a moment
Your child picks a companion to study with — and at the right moments, the right one steps in. A correct answer brings Nina's celebration. A wrong answer brings Vicky: mistakes are how we learn. Stuck? Alex breaks it into small steps. Drifting off? Heim brings the focus back. It's a small thing that changes everything: children stop being afraid of getting it wrong.
Alex steps in
when a problem needs breaking down
Nina celebrates
the moment an answer lands right
Vicky rises
when a mistake becomes a lesson
Heim leads
when focus starts to wander
5 · Memory
It gets to know your child
Study Work remembers how your child learns — what they struggle with, what they thrive at, which explanation finally made fractions click. Every session, the tutor knows them a little better, and teaches a little more like someone who does.
6 · Your report
You stay in the loop
After every session you get a report — and not just a score. A win to celebrate at the dinner table, and one or two questions worth following up with your child. You stay the parent; Study Work does the tutoring.
7 · Under the hood, honestly
The journey of a question
When your child asks the tutor something, the question leaves their tablet, crosses the ocean on undersea cables, and arrives at a data centre. There, Google's Gemini — we chose it deliberately; its focus is education — reads the question together with the chapter's method and guidance, and the answer streams back. All of it in a couple of seconds.
We've built Study Work to teach a child, not just answer them — the tutor, the guidance, and your child's own history travel with every single question.
The best way to understand it is to feel it
Do a mini session yourself — it takes a few minutes.
