CAPSTutor is built for both of you — the child who does the studying, and you, the parent, who needs to know how it's really going. Your child gets an AI tutor and coach across every subject at their exact grade: it teaches, marks and coaches, and actually keeps them coming back. You get a real-time parent dashboard showing whether they're studying, where they're doing well, and where they need to focus. One app, one version of the truth — so you and your child are on the same side.
And the work stays varied — quick quizzes for fast recall, step-by-step problem solving, "explain it" questions that get them reasoning in their own words, flashcards for memory, and full timed exams with memos — so no two sessions feel the same.
Free trial — up to 30 days, then from R100/month per child. Register as a parent, add your child, and start — no card needed.
If you only remember four things about CAPSTutor, make it these.
A tutor for your child, and real visibility for you — one app, one version of the truth, on the same side.
An ordinary AI forgets you the moment the chat closes. CAPSTutor tracks every session, so progress actually builds — and you can see it.
No aimless drifting to the easy subjects. Guided, disciplined study that points effort where it's genuinely needed.
No ads, your data stays yours, a real person behind it — and a fraction of a private tutor's cost.
Here's what differentiates CAPSTutor.
Ask any AI tutor a question and it will answer it — then close the chat, and it's gone. Nothing is remembered. Nothing is measured. Nothing accumulates. Your child could study every night for a month and have nothing to show for it — or tell you they've been studying when they haven't, and you'd have no way of knowing.
CAPSTutor records and logs every session to a secure database, so progress persists. That's what makes real learner analytics, effort tracking, streaks and rewards possible in the first place — and it's what everything below is built on.
Most tutoring apps decide for you. Here you choose which subjects are compulsory, how many sessions a day, and the study-time targets — and the AI builds each child's plan around your settings and adapts within them. Your household, your rules.
Starting a new topic? Your child gets a short, plain-language explanation with a worked example before they practise — so they understand the idea first, rather than being tested on something they've never been shown.
The freedom to ask any AI anything sounds great — but left to roam, children drift to the subjects and topics they already find easy or enjoy. Pleasant, but it doesn't lift marks. CAPSTutor channels that freedom into focused, disciplined study: you set compulsory subjects and daily targets, guided learning steers them to what they actually need to work on, and the dashboards show you exactly where effort is being misdirected. Study time that counts — not just time spent.
Effort is what drives results, and it's invisible until the report card arrives. CAPSTutor makes it visible: study time, sessions, questions attempted, consistency and streaks. Then you reward it — badges, cash for a streak, study-time bonuses, every amount set by you. An optional per-grade leaderboard adds friendly competition.
All your children at a glance, then drill into any child, subject by subject. Catch a discipline slip — missed days, falling study time — long before the school report does. See that Thabo studied 45 minutes today at 88% accuracy, or that his Maths streak has hit 6 days.
An AI brief written for you, not for your child. It reads the real activity and tells you in plain English where they're strong, where they need support, and whether their time is spread sensibly — plus two practical home tips. It tells you, in plain language, the one subject that could use a little of your time this week.
Two voices, one app. Message your child inside the app — encouragement before a session, a well done after — and they reply on the same screen where they study. And it stays private: your messages stay between you and your child. No AI writes them. No AI reads them back.
The in-app assistant answers instantly — and anything it can't solve goes straight to a real person on the CAPSTutor team, who replies in the same thread. Spotted a wrong answer? Report it with one tap and a screenshot. We read every one.
New features every month, and we'll keep you informed of the major ones. Nothing here is cast in stone — message the developers directly from inside the app with feedback and the things you'd like to see. Your experience shapes what gets built next.
And it does the fundamentals well, of course. Questions adapt to your child's level as they go — never too easy, never overwhelming. CoachT marks every answer on the spot with clear, step-by-step explanations, so a wrong answer becomes a learning moment rather than a dead end. And every session mixes it up — quick quizzes, step-by-step problem solving, "explain it" questions, flashcards, full timed exams with memos, and learning games like Rapid Fire, Quiz Quest and Odd One Out — real practice that feels like play, so it holds the attention of a child raised on gaming. Studying in Afrikaans? A learner stuck on a word can tap to see it in English and carry straight on.
CAPSTutor keeps you in the conversation. Message your child directly inside the app — a word of encouragement before a maths session, a well done after a good run — and they reply right there, on the same screen where they study. Meanwhile CoachT, their AI coach, recaps yesterday, points them at the subject they've been avoiding, and adapts as they improve.
Send encouragement, set a challenge, get a reply — inside the app, where the work happens.
A daily recap, a nudge toward the subject they've been avoiding, and honest feedback pitched at their grade.
🔒 Your messages to your child stay between you and your child.
No AI writes them. No AI reads them back.
Coach your child yourself — with an AI coach alongside you, not instead of you.
Everything you need as a parent — and a study mode to fit every child.
See how your child is really studying, and steer their time to where it matters most — the subjects that need it, not just the ones they enjoy.
Set the targets and the rewards, and let your child earn them by turning up and doing the work. Encouragement that motivates — not nagging that grinds.
Watch accuracy, study time and consistency build week by week — the picture a report card never shows until it's too late.
One size doesn't fit all — every child is different. From open, pressure-free practice to a fully guided plan, you choose how much steering it does. See Learning modes →
Chosen in Settings and applied to every child on the account — and you can change it any time.

Please note: subject and topic lists are a curriculum-aligned guide, not an official or complete syllabus — coverage and depth vary by school and year, so CAPSTutor is best treated as a study aid.
Beyond the features — the everyday problems CAPSTutor solves for families.
Kids will be on a screen anyway. CAPSTutor makes that time count — towards their grades.
No more nagging. Rewards, streaks and a leaderboard make your child want to practise.
Private tutoring costs a fortune per hour. CAPSTutor gives daily, adaptive practice for a tiny fraction of that.
Timed exams and a parent dashboard help you spot gaps early — not when it's too late to fix the term.
Short daily sessions — even 15 minutes — compound into results that surprise even your child.
You set a real reward — badges, cash and study-time bonuses — and as they learn, they earn it.
CAPSTutor turns every session into insight — building discipline, giving you real monitoring, and lifting performance.
Daily targets, a minimum study time, required sessions and streaks turn practice into a consistent habit — not a nightly fight.
See all your children and their activity at a glance, then drill into any child's progress across every subject — sessions, accuracy and study time — with downloadable reports. No more hide-and-seek.
Track accuracy and progress over time and spot gaps early — before the school report — with timed exams and full memos for exam readiness.
Dashboards, reports and the leaderboard unlock on the paid plan.
Marks alone don't tell you much. The Parenting Assistant reads your child's real activity — study time, sessions, accuracy and the subjects they've touched — and turns it into a short, readable brief you can act on. Switch between This week and This month, and pick any child.
How often and how regularly they show up — active days versus quiet ones — and whether the habit is holding.
The subjects and skills where your child is performing well.
Where accuracy is slipping and a little help would go a long way.
It weighs time against how they're actually doing, so it points you to the subject that genuinely needs your attention — not just the one with the fewest minutes.
A colour-coded subject-balance panel shows each subject's share of study time, coloured by how well they're doing — so gaps and strengths jump out at a glance. You get a fair, specific picture plus two practical home tips to close the gaps that actually matter.

Best if your child studies daily, across many subjects.
Start your free trial →Good to know. Per child, per grade — the grade is chosen when you add the child and can't be changed afterwards (it sets the whole curriculum, so choose carefully; moving up a grade, just email us). Billed monthly in rands via PayFast; cancel any time before your next billing date, and Zimbabwean families pay the Standard amount. Upgrade Standard → Premium any time in Settings. No ads, ever, and we never sell your data — the fee covers the AI that powers every lesson, mark and report.
Every question CAPSTutor sets, every answer it marks and every report it writes is generated by AI, and each one costs us money to run. So we can't promise "unlimited" at this price. We'd rather tell you that plainly than quietly degrade the service or surprise you with a bill.
Set well above what almost any child will use — including one who studies every single day. It's per child, not shared across the household, and it resets monthly.
A usage gauge for every child sits in your dashboard, counting down through the month. You always know exactly where they stand — so nothing is ever a surprise.
Reach the limit and your child keeps everything they've earned — dashboards, reports, completed work, merits, streaks, rewards and messages. We won't punish a child for studying too much.
Need more? Top up at the same rate as the subscription — no markup for needing more. Unused credit carries over; it isn't swept at month-end.
In practice, the overwhelming majority of learners never reach the limit. Full details are set out in our Fair Use Policy.
You set the reward. They earn it. Start your free trial — on us — and give your child a reason to love learning.
Not quite, and we'd rather be straight with you. Every question, mark and report is generated by AI and costs us money each time it runs, so each child gets a generous monthly allowance — set well above what almost any learner will use, even studying daily. It's per child, not shared, and it resets each month. You can watch the usage gauge for each child in your dashboard, so it's never a surprise. If a child does reach the limit, they keep everything they've already done, and you can top up at the same rate as the subscription — with unused credit carrying over. See our Fair Use Policy for the detail.
An AI-powered adaptive tutor for the CAPS, IEB, ZIMSEC and Cambridge curricula, across every subject. A parent sets up the account, adds their children and picks the curriculum; the app then generates daily practice, coaching and timed assessments tailored to each child's grade and your settings. Crucially, every session is logged — so progress accumulates instead of vanishing when the app is closed.
Four curricula, chosen in Settings and applied to all children on the account: CAPS (South Africa, Grade 1–12), IEB (South Africa — the same curriculum as CAPS, examined in the IEB style), ZIMSEC (Zimbabwe — Grades 1–7 and Forms 1–6), and Cambridge International (Primary, Lower Secondary, IGCSE and AS & A Level). CAPS covers all subjects; ZIMSEC all except Shona. You can change curriculum any time.
On the paid plan you set up each child's plan in Settings — compulsory subjects, daily sessions and study-time goals. In every session your child gets instant feedback, questions adapt to their level, and they earn rewards for finishing and keeping their streak. During the free trial this all runs on sensible defaults.
You start with a free trial — up to 30 days — no card needed. After that, two simple plans, per child: Standard at R100/month and Premium at R150/month (double the monthly allowance), billed in rands via PayFast. The fee covers the AI behind every lesson, mark and report. Cancel anytime, and upgrade from Standard to Premium whenever you like.
The free trial is a frictionless quick-start: register and your child can begin a session straight away on sensible defaults (CAPS curriculum, core subjects and built-in rewards). Choosing your own curriculum, setting subjects, targets and rewards, and the parent dashboard, reports and leaderboard all unlock automatically when you upgrade to a paid plan. The trial runs for up to 30 days — it may end sooner under fair use; see our Terms for the detail.
The parent registers and owns the account, protected by a parent PIN, then adds their children to it. You set each child's rewards and daily goals, and can see all their activity.
Yes. Lessons, questions, feedback and assessments are generated by AI and designed to be curriculum-aligned. AI is powerful but not perfect — it can occasionally be wrong or produce unexpected content. CAPSTutor is a study aid to supplement school, not a replacement for a teacher or the official curriculum, and learner–AI sessions aren't monitored in real time. Please supervise younger children and double-check anything that matters, like exam prep. Spot an error? Use the in-app Report / Suggest tool so we can improve it.
Yes. CAPSTutor uses parent-PIN protection — and each child can have their own PIN too — plus POPIA-aligned handling of children's data. The optional leaderboards are off by default, show first names only, and can be switched on or off with one tap.
Any device with a browser — phone, tablet or computer. There's nothing to install and no IT setup needed.
