Catches the exact mistake
Your teen writes each step in their own hand. Pip reads it as they go and circles the first line that does not follow, then asks a question that leads them back to it. They find the fix themselves, which is how it sticks.
Live math tutoring for teens 13 and up
A patient math tutor, ready the minute your teen gets stuck.
Pip talks your teen through the problem out loud while they write on the board. It reads every line, finds the exact step that went wrong, and gives a hint before the answer. Pre-algebra through precalculus, any time, no scheduling.

How it works
Create your parent account
Sign in with your email. There is no password to remember, and no card is needed to look around.
Add your teen
Just a first name and a grade. On day one a short warm-up finds where they really are, so nobody starts on work that is too easy or too hard.
They press Start and talk it through
Pip says hello, puts a problem on the board, and listens. Your teen writes, talks, asks questions, and goes at their own pace.
What Pip does that a video can't
It watches the work
Teaches like a good teacher
New ideas start with a picture, then a worked example where Pip writes one step, says why it is allowed, and waits for your teen to answer before the next. Then it is their turn.
Remembers where they are
A warm-up places them on day one. Skills they learned come back for review on a schedule, and a five-in-a-row quiz marks real mastery. Stuck on tonight's homework instead? They can write their own problem on the board and work it through with Pip.
From the basics up
What it covers
- Pre-algebra
- Algebra 1
- Geometry
- Algebra 2
- Precalculus
253 skills in all, from place value to the unit circle, so Pip can go back and fill a gap when a teen is missing a step from an earlier year.

You stay in the loop
- A summary after every lesson: what went well, what was hard, and one idea to try at home.
- You control the time. Buy half hours when you want them; nothing renews on its own.
- Pip sticks to math. It is told to keep things age appropriate and to point your teen to a trusted adult if something worrying comes up.
- Private by design. No ads, no tracking, and no recordings of voice or the board kept by Semper Math.

Questions parents ask
Good questions
Is Pip a real person?
No. Pip is an AI tutor, and we say so plainly, to parents and to teens. The math on the board is computed and checked by code before it is shown. The conversation is AI, so it can still get something wrong; if a step ever looks off, your teen can ask Pip to check it, and you can tell us. How we keep Pip safe.
What ages is Semper Math for?
Learners 13 and older, each under a parent or guardian account. The skills run from middle school math through precalculus, and the warm-up places your teen at the right starting point. The free video lessons on YouTube are for every age.
What does it cost, and how is time counted?
$17.50 for every 30 minutes of live lessons, bought ahead in half hours. Time is used by the minute, only while a lesson is running, so a 20 minute homework rescue uses about $11.67 of it. Your first purchase includes 20 bonus minutes. Unused time is refundable within 30 days. Refund details.
What if my teen is stuck, or Pip gets something wrong?
Being stuck is the point: Pip asks a question that leads to the next step and gives a hint before it ever gives the answer. If your teen still can not see it, Pip works it through one step at a time. Answers are checked by code, and you can always reach a person at support@sempermath.com.
Can I see how they are doing?
Yes. After every lesson you get a short summary: what went well, what was hard, and one idea to try at home. The grown-ups view shows their math map, what they have learned, and what is due for review.
What do we need?
A laptop or tablet with a browser, a microphone, and a quiet spot. Your teen can write with a mouse, a finger, or a stylus. Nothing to install.
What about privacy?
We collect a parent email and your teen's first name, grade, and progress. Semper Math keeps no recordings of voice or the board, shows no ads, and uses no tracking. Read the privacy policy.
