FocusHour

Your personal tutor for the digital SAT.

One focused hour beats
five distracted ones.

Math · Reading and Writing · Digital SAT prep

Free to start: one full focus hour. No card needed.

FocusHour on a tablet: a question about a circular lid, with handwritten working that first uses 11 as the radius, then fixes it to 5.5 and gets 11π.
The real problem

Ping. Ping. Ping. Phone down. Focus up.

The focus hour

One hour, planned like a great teacher would.

On the days you choose, at your level, alongside school and any tutoring you already have.

  1. A quick recallAn easy start on what you did last time.
  2. Today's ideaSee one solved, or try two first. Then guided practice, with help.
  3. On your ownA short set with no help, like the test.
  4. Fix what slippedThe few you missed, put right.
  5. Mixed practiceToday's idea among its neighbors, then a short look back.

The tablet app, real footage that plays as you scroll: a student takes 11 as the radius and picks 22π, opens Key idea, crosses the mistake out, uses r = 5.5 and gets 11π, right.

The tutor

Work it out with a pen.

  1. Stuck.
  2. Key idea, not the answer.
  3. It clicks.

The tablet app: a student has written C = 2πr, r = 11, C = 22π and picked 22π. They tap Ask coach, and the coach's card says: You set r = 11. The question gives diameter 11. What must you do to the diameter before using 2πr?

Technique, not answers

Stuck? Ask coach.

An AI coach reads the working and nudges the next step. Never the answer.

Trains you like a gym coach

Hard, never crushing.

For parents

See the reps. Do one thing a week.

Every week, a calm report on the real work: the days planned and kept, the answers and working, the ideas behind the lost points, and one or two things you can do.

Set it up yourself: make your own account, choose your teen's focus days, and invite them.

Questions

Is the coach a person?

No. It's an AI coach. It reads the working on the screen and asks about the next step; it's built to nudge, not to give the answer. Key idea shows the idea behind a question, checked so that it doesn't give the answer away.

What does a parent see?

A weekly report on the real work: the days planned and kept, the answers and working, where the points went, and one or two things you can do.

What does it cover?

The digital SAT's math and its reading and writing, built on College Board's published skills. Practice papers are SAT-standard, without a calculator and in a fixed order, so they aren't the real test's adaptive format.

Do we need an iPad?

No. FocusHour works in the browser on any phone, tablet or laptop. A tablet with a pen is best, because there's room to write the working.

Is it instead of a tutor or a class?

No. It goes alongside them: one focus hour on the days you choose.
