Personal Instructing Agent
Welcome Grade 7 Students!
Six tutor agents. One of them already teaches the way you think. Ten minutes to find out which.
Meet your tutors
Six tutors. One already teaches the way you think.
Each one explains maths in its own style. Tap through them all — you don’t have to choose.
Always finds the “why”
PIA Explorer
Explores the idea before the method.
Starts with why a rule exists, then shows you how to use it. Good if a formula feels arbitrary until you know where it came from.
- Pace
- Flexible
- Best for
- Abstract thinkers
Never misses a detail
PIA Detective
Same order. Every single time.
Works every problem through the same numbered steps. Nothing skipped, nothing assumed, and no shortcut you did not ask for.
- Pace
- Steady
- Best for
- Detail-oriented learners
Keeps the energy up
PIA Spark
Short questions. Fast turns.
Keeps the rally going with quick prompts and quick checks, and moves on the moment a topic clicks. Built to outrun boredom.
- Pace
- Fast
- Best for
- Active participants
Patient every single time
PIA Ally
Asks how it's going. Means it.
Checks in often and never marks you wrong. Ask the same thing five times and the fifth answer is as patient as the first.
- Pace
- Relaxed
- Best for
- Collaborative learners
Calm, and never in a rush
PIA Anchor
No timers. No streaks. No rush.
Slow and repetitive on purpose. Nothing on screen counts down and nothing compares you to the person sitting next to you.
- Pace
- Slow
- Best for
- Cautious learners
Straight to the maths
PIA Neutral
The baseline. On purpose.
No personality applied at all. This is what the other five are measured against, which is the only reason it exists.
- Pace
- Balanced
- Best for
- The control group
No need to pick. A few quick questions about how you like to learn will match you with yours.
Self-determination theory
Three things have to be true
or nobody keeps going.
Deci and Ryan's model says motivation needs autonomy, competence and relatedness. Miss one and a student stops — not because the maths is hard, but because the loop stopped being worth it. PIA is built around all three.
-
Autonomy
You pick the tutor. You ask for the hint, or you don't. Nothing starts a topic on your behalf and nothing decides you're finished.
In PIA: the agent is your choice, and it stays your choice.
-
Competence
Problems land just past what you can already do. Far enough to be worth solving, close enough that you get there.
In PIA: difficulty follows your streak, not the class timetable.
-
Relatedness
Someone on the other side is paying attention. Not scoring you — remembering you.
In PIA: your agent knows what tripped you up last session, and says so.
Capabilities
What PIA can do
-
Explains it again, differently
If the first route doesn't land there's a second and a third. Same answer, different way in.
-
Moves at your speed
Difficulty tracks what you just did, so nobody waits and nobody drowns.
-
Never runs a clock
No timers, no streak you can break, no leaderboard. Nothing on screen is counting down.
-
Keeps your working private
Your teacher sees that you're progressing. They don't see every wrong turn you took.
-
Runs on the school laptops
A browser and a login. Nothing to install and nothing to carry home.
-
Picks up where you stopped
Close the tab mid-problem. It's still there, mid-problem, when you come back.
Enrolment
Ready when you are
Accounts are created for you in advance, so there is no public sign-up. Use your school email — if it isn't recognised yet, ask your teacher.
