For tutors
See what each student got wrong before you next meet.
Set practice between sessions from your own question bank. Quizzes mark themselves, you see every attempt before the next session, and once their attempts are used, students see the right answers with your explanations.
Free for up to 10 students. Studio plan: up to 30 students for $19 a month, for one tutor.

Between sessions
Your own question bank
Write a question once, with its subject and topics, and set it to every student who needs it.
It marks itself
Multiple choice, numbers with a tolerance and units, short answers, blanks, matching and putting in order. Written answers wait for you.
Your explanation of each answer
Give a quiz a number of attempts or a close time. Once a student has used them, or the quiz has closed, they see the right answer and why. Or keep the answers hidden.
Every attempt, before you meet
Open each student's answers and marks, question by question, and plan the session around what they got wrong.
Any subject you tutor
Maths and science
Equations in questions and answers, numerical answers with units, and PhET, GeoGebra and Desmos activities in lessons.
Languages and English
Blanks, matching and short answers that mark themselves, and written answers and recorded speaking that you mark.
Coding
If you teach it, students write and run code in the browser, and it is marked against your tests.
Sessions
Put your session link, from Zoom, Teams or Google Meet, on each batch's timetable. Students join from their own page, from 15 minutes before it starts, and you keep a register of who came.
For families
- Children learn under a parent's account, with the parent's consent. The parent chooses who is learning, sees the child's work and marks there, and is emailed about assignment grades and reminders instead of the child.
- We put no ads or analytics on the pages students use.
- Read what we keep about children before you invite a family.
What it does not do
The Skill Site does not book sessions, send invoices or take payment. Keep the tool you use for that. It is for the teaching between sessions.
What it costs
Prices are in US dollars a month, excluding taxes. Every paid plan has every feature.
Free
Up to 10 students and every feature but your own web address and name, with smaller AI allowances and no time limit. One person runs it.
Studio: $19 a month
For one teacher: up to 30 students, 10 GB of files and no other staff. A month with more than 30 active students renews on Cohort 50, or the plan its size needs. To add a second teacher, move to Cohort 50 from Billing: it changes at once, and you pay the difference for the rest of the month.
Cohort 50: $149 a month
For a tutoring business with several tutors: up to 50 students and as many staff as you need, and larger plans by size. $89 at the founding price.
Questions and answers
Can I use the same questions with every student?
Yes. Questions live in your question bank, with a subject and topics, and you choose them for each quiz. Change a question and new attempts use the new version; attempts already made keep the version they answered.
Can I tutor one student at a time?
Yes. Make a batch for each student, or for each small group, with your session times and link on its timetable. Each batch has its own quizzes, assignments and marks.
Can I set a timed mock exam?
Yes. Give a quiz a time limit, the window it is open, one attempt and a pass mark, and shuffle its questions and choices. An attempt still open when the time runs out is handed in for the student.
Can children use it?
Yes. Children learn under a parent's account, with the parent's consent, and the parent is emailed about assignment grades and reminders instead of the child. The parent can withdraw consent at any time, which ends the child's place; once no consent is left, the child's records are erased.
What happens when I stop?
If your Studio subscription ends, your organisation continues on the free plan, with up to 10 students, and nothing is erased; you can subscribe again at any time. A Cohort 50 or larger subscription that ends is different: staff can still read everything but change nothing, students are paused, and the organisation's data is erased 60 days after the end.
