A Socratic Tutor for
Classical Education

Your child reads the Great Books.
An AI tutor asks the questions.
They learn to think.

Classical education works.
But teaching Socratically is hard.

01

You haven't read all the Great Books yourself

02

You default to explaining instead of asking

03

One-on-one discussion is exhausting with multiple kids

04

Your child just wants the answer

What if there was a tutor who could ask the right questions,
guide your child through the text, and never give up?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is AI safe for my child?

Yes. The tutor only discusses the texts in the curriculum. It never asks personal questions, never goes off-topic, and never provides inappropriate content. All conversations are about literature, history, and ideas. Parents can review full conversation history at any time.

What ages is this for?

Grammar stage content is designed for grades 3-6 (ages 8-12). Dialectic stage is for grades 7-9. Rhetoric stage (coming soon) will serve grades 10-12. Children should be able to read independently to use the tutor effectively.

Do I need to supervise?

You can, but you don't have to. The tutor guides the entire conversation. Many parents use this for independent work time while they teach other children or handle household tasks. You can review the conversation afterward to see what was discussed.

What if my child gives wrong answers?

The tutor doesn't say "wrong." Instead, it asks follow-up questions that guide your child toward better understanding. That's the Socratic method — the student discovers the truth through questioning rather than being told the answer.

What makes this different from Khan Academy?

Trivium Tutor is built specifically for classical education. Our curriculum follows the Trivium (Grammar, Dialectic, Rhetoric) and features the Great Books — from Aesop to Augustine to the American Founders. We're not a general tutoring tool; we're a classical education companion.
