Curiosity, patiently answered.
Vives Tutor pairs your K–6 kid with Vee, a patient AI tutor named after the Renaissance educator Juan Luis Vives. Built for homeschool families and useful for every other family too. Parents pick the rules. Your kid does the asking.
Meet Vee
A tutor with a Renaissance namesake and modern parent rails.
Vee is the persona at the heart of Vives Tutor. She is named after Juan Luis Vives, a 16th-century educator who believed kids learn best when they feel safe enough to be wrong out loud. That is exactly what Vee does. She walks through hard ideas one step at a time, draws little sketches when it helps, and never makes your kid feel small for asking.
She is not a chatbot pretending to be a teacher. She is a tutor with one job: meet your child where they are and gently move them forward.
Six ways to learn with Vee
Pick a mode. Vee changes how she teaches.
Explain This
Walk through tough stuff together.
Vee uses the Socratic method to teach concepts step by step, checking understanding along the way instead of just handing over answers. Best when your kid is genuinely stuck and needs to actually get it.
Ask Vee Anything
For all those out-of-nowhere questions.
Why is the sky blue. Why do beavers build dams. What was a Roman aqueduct, exactly. Vee answers warmly and clearly, without turning every question into a lesson plan.
Story Builder
Storytelling, thinking, and writing.
Your kid drives the plot. Vee helps with structure, language, and the next idea. A creative space for working out ideas on the page and getting comfortable with writing them down.
Quiz Mode
For fun, or assigned by you.
Your kid picks a topic and goes, or you set one up for them ahead of time. Either way, you see what they got right, what they missed, and how they worked through it.
Illustration Studio
Imagination, drawn.
A blank page for big ideas. Your kid tells Vee what to draw and she brings it to life. A dragon eating tacos, an underwater classroom, a self-portrait as a knight. Whatever they can picture, she can sketch.
Parent’s Choice
You assign. Vee teaches.
Plan a lesson with Vee from your parent dashboard, then send it to your child. They work through it on their side. You see how it went. For when today’s session needs to cover something specific.
Who Vives Tutor is for
Built for homeschool families. Useful for every other family too.
Parents in the driver’s seat
You set the rails. Vee stays inside them.
Topic guardrails
Tell Vee which subjects are off limits, which are fair game, and where to lean in. Adjust per child.
Worldview lens
Choose how Vee handles topics that touch on values. Standard, faith-aware, or something in between. You decide.
Full transcripts
Every conversation, top to bottom, available to you. Nothing hidden. Read along whenever you want.
Memory you can edit
Vee remembers the things that help her teach better. You can review what she remembers and clear it any time.
Privacy is the whole point.
Vives Tutor was built for kids first. That means COPPA-compliant from the foundation up, no advertising, no third-party trackers chasing your child around the web, and a backend built on AI providers that are barred from retaining or training on your kid’s tutoring data.
A note about reading and speaking
Vee can read her answers out loud, and your child can tap a microphone button to speak instead of typing. That is a real lift for younger kids, beginning readers, and anyone who learns better with their ears than their fingers. Real-time back-and-forth voice conversations are built and ready to ship. We are holding the launch only until we land on a service provider whose privacy posture matches the bar we set for the rest of the product. The standard for kids’ data is high here, and we are not going to lower it to ship a feature faster.
From the founder
I built this for my own family first.
My name is Adolfo. My wife and I are full-time RVers, homeschooling our daughter from the road. I built Vives because I wanted a tutor that was patient when I wasn’t available, curious when she was curious, and safe enough that I didn’t have to hover over her shoulder every time she used it.
Vee isn’t trying to replace you. She’s the extra set of hands you wish you had, the one that never gets frustrated, never rushes, and always meets your kid exactly where they are.
This is a small product built by one person who uses it every day. If you have questions or ideas, I’ll be the one who reads your email.
