Homework + reading support for ages 8–13

Homework help that teaches — not just gives answers.

Professor Paws helps kids work through the schoolwork they actually have, one calm step at a time — with guided hints, reading support, and encouragement while they keep doing the thinking.

A times-tables step in the Professor Paws iPad app: "Drill — 6 times 9", a hint that says "Start with 10 sixes = 60", a grid of 6 rows of 9 the child is filling in by tapping, and an empty box for their answer.

Help without handing over the answer.

Professor Paws breaks the work into manageable steps. When your child gets stuck, the help gets stronger a little at a time — a hint, then a smaller step, then something to move or count — but the answer is always theirs to give.

A column-addition step on the iPad: "Add the ones" for 356 + 187, with 6 and 7 shown as blocks to slide together and the child setting the tens and ones digits themselves.

Their real schoolwork

Works with the homework they already have.

Photograph or enter the schoolwork your child already has — the worksheet, the spelling list, the reading passage that came home this week.

A photo doesn't reveal the answers. Professor Paws reads the task and turns it into guided, in-app learning that your child works through one step at a time.

The Professor Paws start screen on iPad: the puppy asks "What are we working on today?", with Photo and Write buttons for homework, subjects from addition to spelling and reading, and this week's homework typed in — Calculate 426 × 38, a crayons word problem, and two money questions.

Step-by-step teaching

Your child does the thinking. Professor Paws makes each step doable.

Your child has a goEvery step asks them for something — a digit, a choice, a tap on the blocks.
A hintIf it isn't right yet, a short clue points at what to look at, not at the answer.
More guided help, if neededThe step gets smaller: something to move, shade, or count.
They try againAnd finish the step themselves.

An equivalent-fractions step on the iPad: "Both numbers change the same way", one half shown as a shaded bar above eight empty parts, and the child choosing the missing top number themselves.

Reading support

Reading practice built on their own reading.

Add the passage your child was assigned, or practise with a short story. They read one page at a time, can have it read aloud whenever they want, and get help when a word is tricky.

Then come questions about what they just read — grounded in the passage, with the story right there to look back at when they're unsure.

A reading question on the iPad: "What did Bailey win?", with the story page shown beneath it to look back at — "The judge gave Bailey a blue ribbon." — a Read to me button, and a box for the child's answer.

Max is in their corner

Encouragement that's earned, not engineered.

Max is there for the whole session — steady encouragement when a step is hard. Bone Bucks and new corners of Paws Village are earned by finishing real work, so the progress your child sees is progress they made. No streak pressure, and no guilt for a missed day.

Max, the Professor Paws puppy, saying "Let's work through this step together."
