1-to-1 tutoring works.
Now AI can deliver it.

1-to-1 tutoring lifts students into the top 2% of performers (Bloom, 1984) - but it's price isn't scalable for schools or accessible for families.

Inkling is built to change that, and the early evidence is clear:

+26.6%

Scores on tutored topics

+1 grade

on GCSE exams after just 2 hrs

Inkling users perform better

Higher usage = better outcomes

* Data based on a controlled study with 119 GCSE students comparing improvement from summer 2025 to January 2026 mock exam results

Why Inkling

Why Inkling

Why Inkling

Beyond answers. Designed for learning

Homework helpers and AI chatbots deliver content or quick answers.
Inkling delivers structured tutoring to guide and challenge thinking, not shortcut it.

Other AI tools

Other AI tools

Many AI tools require students to know what to ask, and often prioritise speed over learning - generating answers without structure, context, or accountability.

Inkling drives the session - using Socratic questioning to build real understanding. It's aligned to exam boards, integrated into schools, and safe by design.

For parents

Top quality tutoring at a fraction of the cost.

Private tutoring transforms grades. But at a cost of £50-100/hour for the top tutors, it's out of reach for most families.
Inkling gives your child the same 1-to-1 experience at a fraction of the cost.

Real understanding

Inkling doesn't hand over answers. It uses Socratic questioning to challenge your child's ideas, proactively probe their reasoning, and guide them step by step - building real understanding, not shortcuts.

At their pace

Whether your child needs extra support or to be challenged further, Inkling adapts - adjusting explanations, teaching methods, and pace in real time. It knows exactly where your child is and what they need next.

Deep engagement

A conversational tutor keeps students involved in a way textbooks, videos, and chatbots can’t. Available whenever they need it - evenings, weekends, or just before an exam.

Stay in the loop

See what your child is working on, track their progress across topics, and understand where they might need extra support - with safeguarding built into every session.

Real-time visibility

Inkling gives teachers and school leaders a window into every student's learning. See aggregated progress across cohorts, drill into individual issues, understand how you can help - before they fall behind.

FAQ

Your questions answered.

Who is Inkling for?

Inkling supports any student who would benefit from more 1-to-1 time - whether they need extra support to build confidence, deeper challenge to stretch further, or simply a different pace from the classroom. We're currently focused on GCSE students, with plans to expand soon.

What subjects / courses does it cover?

Currently live for GCSE and IGCSE English Language and English Literature, with more subjects launching in 2026. Get in touch to find out what's coming next.

Is Inkling safe for students?

Safeguarding is built into every session - it's a founding principle, not an add-on. Inkling was developed within a school environment with safeguarding at its core. Conversations are intelligently monitored, with alerts automatically raised to school safeguarding leads when needed. Inkling is GDPR compliant and built to UK data protection standards. Full safeguarding documentation and our DPIA are available on request.

What makes Inkling different from ChatGPT or other AI tools?

Most AI tools require students to ask the right question, give prompts, or upload materials. They're useful tools, but they don't drive learning. Inkling does - it leads the conversation, asks questions, challenges thinking, and guides students step by step through a face-to-face session with a lifelike AI tutor. And like any top tutor, Inkling works beyond the student. Teachers can set the focus to direct the tutor's approach, and receive feedback on the student's learning. Parents see progress, get updates, and know where their child needs support.

Will students become dependent on AI?

Inkling is designed to build independent thinking. It asks questions, challenges ideas, and supports exam skills - rather than giving shortcuts or completing work for students. It also helps close the AI literacy gap: students don’t need to know how to prompt or use AI effectively, because Inkling guides the conversation for them.
