Sit with your child. I handle the planning.

Learning at home that matches what your child learns in class.

Send me your child's lesson plan or study guide. I build weekly lessons, practice sheets, and quizzes around it. Your child uses them on a phone, tablet, or computer.

How it works

From a photo to a week of practice

Send the papers your child brings home. I turn them into lessons, practice, and a quiz.

STEP 01

Send what your child is studying

Snap a photo of the lesson plan, study guide, or homework. Black out your child's last name first. A first name and grade is all I need.

STEP 02

I build the program

I write lessons, practice sheets, and a quiz that follow your child's class. I check every answer key twice. I ask how the class teaches it so the method matches.

STEP 03

Your child learns at home

You get an invite to a private Google Classroom. Open it on your phone or computer. Sit with your child, work through it, and turn in the work.

Stories

See how it works at home

Four short stories of practice at home, after a parent sent in a class lesson.

A class math lesson turned into a week of practice at home for Maya and her mom.
Jalen mixed up letters on his spelling list, then practiced each word at home with his dad.
Lily sat with her mom and worked the same math her class was doing, one short lesson at a time.
Owen's dad turned a class spelling list into practice games and a quiz they could do together.

These are example stories. Yours will use the lessons your child is doing in class right now.

About me

Hi, I'm Calvin.

I'm a dad in Orland Park. I built a learning program for my son from his school lessons. It helped him, so I started offering the same kind of help to other families.

By day I manage large teams. That work taught me to plan clearly, keep my promises, and check the details. I use those same habits on every program.

I'm not a replacement for your child's teacher. I'm here to help you support what happens in class, at home, in a way that fits your week.

Questions

Things parents ask me

What do I need to send you?

Send the lesson plan, study guide, weekly newsletter, or homework your child brings home. A photo from your phone works. Cover your child's last name and any school ID first.

Are you a teacher?

No. I'm a parent who builds programs around what your child's teacher is already teaching. I don't replace school. I help you support it at home.

Will this work on my phone?

Yes. At launch, programs come through Google Classroom. It has a free app for phones and tablets and works in any web browser on a computer. You sign in with your own free Google account.

Does my child need their own account?

No. You join with your own Google account and sit with your child. That way you see everything, and no personal details come from your child.

Do you copy my teacher's worksheets?

No. I use the topics and goals from the lesson plan and write new material. Your teacher's worksheets stay with your teacher.

Which subjects do you cover?

Grade 1 to 3 subjects like reading, writing, spelling, and math. If your child is studying something else, send it and I'll tell you if I can help.

How does the free pilot work?

I'm taking 3 pilot families. Each one receives a free 2 week program in one subject. In return, I ask for honest feedback on what worked and what didn't.

Can I cancel?

Yes. There is no contract on a monthly plan. Cancel anytime online in one step before your next billing date, and you won't be charged again. Not happy in your first 7 days? You get your first month back. A Unit Starter gets a full refund if you cancel before I start, and a free redo if it doesn't match your child's class. See the refund and cancel policy.

Do you only work with families in Orland Park?

Everything happens online, so you can be anywhere. I'm starting with families in Orland Park, Tinley Park, Orland Hills, and the Palos area.
