About

A small team, building the tutor we wished our kids had.

Koda started with a simple frustration: math apps want kids to look at a screen, but real math gets done on paper. We're building a tutor that lives where the work lives.

What we believe

A few rules we won't break.

  • Paper-first.

    The pencil stays in your child's hand. The screen is the tutor's; the page is your child's.

  • On-device, by default.

    A child's face, voice, and work are not data we want to hold. They live on the device in your home, and only there.

  • Effort earns XP — not just right answers.

    Show your work, and Koda notices. Guess, and it doesn't. The reward is for the work, not the answer.

  • Quiet, not peppy.

    No streaks. No leaderboards. No fake urgency. The tutor is warm, specific, and honest. The site is too.

  • Built for kids who learn differently.

    ADHD, dyscalculia, dyslexia, dysgraphia, autism — accommodations are first-class settings, not an add-on.

Who's building it

Koda is being built by a small founding team in New York. The full bio + photo land here once the press kit is ready. In the meantime, you can reach the founder at hello@kodatutor.ai.
