- AI tutoring and child safety
Is AI tutoring safe for children?
AI tutoring needs clear limits, age-appropriate safeguards and honest information for parents. This page explains Kodori’s approach and where it has limits
Kodori is an AI tutor for children aged 7 to 16, in Years 3 to 11, covering KS2, KS3 and GCSE maths, English and science.
This page explains what a safe AI tutor should do, what parents can see, how Kodori handles difficult messages and where an AI tutor must stop.

What should parents check before choosing an AI tutor?
A safe AI tutor should do more than sound friendly. Ask four simple questions:
- Does it stay focused on learning, rather than becoming an open chat?
- Does it help my child think, rather than simply do the homework?
- Can I understand what data it uses and what I can see as a parent?
- Is there a clear safety process if my child says something worrying?
Those are the questions this page answers.
- Before the tutor answers
AI tutoring needs clear boundaries.
Kodori is built to keep tutoring focused on the learning task in front of your child. It is not a general-purpose chatbot that can be asked anything at any time.Safety checks sit around the tutoring experience. If those checks cannot run, Kodori does not continue with a normal tutoring response.
The point is simple: your child should get help with a maths, English or science question, not be left to navigate an AI conversation alone.
- If something worries us
If a message suggests your child may need more help
A child should not be punished for saying something difficult. If a message suggests that a child may need support beyond tutoring, Kodori follows its safeguarding process.That process may include a review by the Kodori team and contact with a parent or carer where appropriate. The response should be proportionate to what has been said.
- What parents can see
Parents stay informed without watching every word
Parents can see a clear summary of each session, including the topic covered, how long it took and where another explanation may help.
We do not show a word-for-word tutoring transcript in the parent view. Children need room to say, “I do not understand this”, without feeling that every attempt is being judged.
The aim is a useful balance: your child has space to think aloud, while you can still see what they worked on and when they may need more support.

What Kodori will not do.
It will not do the homework for your child. Kodori gives guided hints and explanations, then lets your child do the next step themselves.
It will not promise grades or exam results. A few tutoring sessions cannot predict a GCSE grade or tell you exactly what will happen in an exam.
It will not make a big judgement from one short session. A useful picture of learning takes time. Kodori should be honest when there is not enough evidence yet.
It will not replace school, a live human tutor or specialist support. It can provide another explanation when a child is stuck. It cannot take the place of the adults who know your child best.
It will not pretend it is always right. AI can make mistakes. If a question or explanation looks wrong, parents and children should be able to report it easily.

- FAQs
Questions parents ask about AI tutoring and child safety.
Can my child use Kodori on their own?
Yes. Kodori is designed for children aged 7 to 16 to use independently for the subjects and topics currently available. Parents can see a summary of activity without needing to sit beside every session.
Is this the same as letting my child use a general AI assistant?
No. A general AI assistant can be asked almost anything. Kodori is designed to keep the interaction focused on a learning task, with guided hints and explanations rather than open-ended chat.
What if my child says something upsetting to the tutor?
Kodori follows its safeguarding process when a message suggests a child may need help beyond tutoring. Read the safeguarding information for the current process and how parents may be contacted.
Will it do my child’s homework for them?
No. Kodori is designed to help your child understand the missing step, then let them try again. Your child remains responsible for the final answer.
