Who teaches you

Every lesson has a named AI teacher and a mentor who keeps you on track. Both are AI, and every screen says so.

AI Super Professor · EnglishHarriet Ellison
We read short, rich texts from many cultures, find what the writer is doing and why, and then you try the same move in your own writing. Grammar and vocabulary are taught inside real sentences, not as lists.
- Close reading
- Argument
- Essay writing
A good story doesn't just entertain you; it changes you.

How lessons run

Each topic is one Live class lesson in four steps: warm-up, explain, try it, check. The AI tutor gives hints, not answers, and waits for the learner to think.

Warm-up
A quick question to recall what you already know.
Explain
The AI tutor explains one idea at a time, in plain words.
Try it
You work a problem with hints, not answers handed over.
Check
A short check shows what stuck; a teacher sees the result.

Assessment

Short checks after each lesson and a unit check at the end of each unit. The AI drafts marks; a human teacher reviews them and signs the term.

The same year elsewhere

For orientation only: a starting check sets where lessons begin.
