The problem
AI tutoring for kids fails when it's a chat box with a cartoon on top. Kids need structured lessons with real pedagogy, personality, and pacing, and a platform that can host many such lessons consistently.
The approach
SuperTutors is a monorepo with a clear shape: a lesson-server platform in src/, and three self-contained workstreams with their own PRDs, research, and journals. Freddy Fractions is the shipped proof: a complete interactive fractions lesson for kids, live on the platform. Acutis Institute (a classical-education AI platform vision) and ASL ComputerVision (a sign-language lesson using webcam vision) are scoped and researched as the long-term roadmap.
The hard parts
Pedagogy before plumbing
The shipped lesson follows a real instructional arc (introduce, model, practice, assess) rather than free-form chat. The platform exists to serve lessons, not conversations.
One repo, three time horizons
Shipping one lesson while honestly scoping two ambitious future workstreams meant strict separation: each workstream owns its planning docs; the platform references them without duplication.
Where it landed
Live platform with a complete shipped lesson and two scoped workstreams, demonstrating both execution and product thinking about where kid-facing AI education goes next.
