The story behind Faithful Tutor, from a homeschool family that needed a better way
As a first-grade teacher, that thought used to follow me every single day. While I spent my mornings preparing lessons and guiding the students in my classroom, my heart was always at home with my own children.
I love teaching, but I know the reality of the traditional classroom: even with the most compassionate teacher, it is impossible to hold every child to the same bar. Some will naturally fall behind, and others simply don't thrive in a general education setting. I realized that as a parent, I didn't want my children to just “fit the mold.” I wanted to take over their education and give them the freedom to learn at their own pace.
My husband, Kyle, was the one who first suggested homeschooling. Even though we were both working full-time, we took the leap together. At first, my teacher background gave me a lot of confidence, until the reality of the “homeschool burnout” set in.
We spent every Sunday planning and every evening after work checking assignments. It became exhausting. I found myself relearning 6th-grade math, while Kyle was wrestling with 10th-grade chemistry. Our kids loved learning at home, but as parents, we were burning out.
We looked for help, but we hit wall after wall:
We are a protective family, and we make no apologies for that. Our kids don't have cell phones, and we use cameras in our living room so we can check in and talk to them throughout the day. We needed a solution that was as smart as our kids and as protective as we are.
Inspired by our struggle, Kyle used his expertise to build something new: an AI tutor that could act as a patient, values-based mentor for our children. Our kids became our “guinea pigs” and our best consultants. They didn't just use it, they loved it.
What started as a way to save our own family's homeschool journey has become Faithful Tutor. It turned our burden into a blessing, and now we want to pass that blessing on to you.
