A Socratic AI tutor for families
Homework help that teaches, not tells
Zirka's friendly AI tutor walks your child to the answer with questions and step-by-step hints - never by handing it over. You see every session, every attempt, and a weekly report on how they're really doing.
A tutor that asks, not answers
Zirka coaches with questions and escalating hints, and always praises an honest try. The answer stays locked until your child has genuinely tried - a rule enforced by our servers, not just the AI's good intentions.
You see everything
Open the word-for-word transcript of any session, follow each child's stats, and hear about a finished session the moment it ends - all inside the app.
A detailed weekly report
Once a week, Zirka writes you a short note about each child: what they practised, where they struggled, and what to try next - in plain words, not charts.
Safe by design
Kids sign in with your family code and their own PIN - no email, no password, no social accounts. No ads, and each family's data stays isolated.
What homework feels like for your child
No lectures, no shame - a friendly coach that listens, asks the right next question, and lets your child earn the win. A wrong answer is met with a better hint, never a colder tone.
Every try gets noticed
The tutor praises the effort first - even when the answer is wrong.
Stuck is okay
The more your child struggles, the more concrete the hints become.
The win stays theirs
When they crack it, nobody handed them anything - and they know it.
Why not just use ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is brilliant at giving answers. With homework, that's exactly the problem.
ChatGPT
ZirkaWhen your child asks for the answer
Gives it - politely, instantly, in full. The homework gets done, the learning doesn't.
Keeps it locked until your child has genuinely tried - a global rule no clever prompt can talk open.
How it teaches
One long, complete explanation - written for adults by default.
One question at a time, praise first, hints that grow more concrete - tuned to your child's age.
What parents see
Nothing - the conversations stay private to the account.
Every session word for word, per-child stats, and a weekly report.
Guardrails for kids
A general-purpose assistant - your child can chat about anything.
Sticks to schoolwork, declines off-limits topics, and asks you to check in if something worrying comes up.
Price comparison
ChatGPT Plus is $20 a month - and it covers one person.
$8.99 a month for the whole family - less than half the price, every child included.

Built for families who care about real learning
Zirka is built on one belief: kids learn more when they do the thinking. Here's what that means for you.
Every session, word for word
Open the full transcript of any finished session - the question, every hint, every attempt. Finished sessions are read-only, so the record stays honest.
You set the rules
Decide how many tries each child gets before the answer can be revealed - from 1 to 10 - and change it anytime. Rotate your family code once to sign out every child device instantly.
A tutor with boundaries
Zirka sticks to schoolwork and gently declines off-limits topics. If your child ever mentions something worrying, the session ends with care and you're asked to check in - that alert can never be muted.
Any subject, languages included
Maths, physics, chemistry, reading - and any subject you add yourself, from history to English, German or French. If school teaches it, Zirka can coach it.
Kids ask the way kids think
Type it, say it out loud, snap a photo of the worksheet, or draw the formula with a finger. Zirka understands all of it - and can read its replies aloud, math included.
No ads. Ever.
The app shows no ads and your family's data is never sold. It's used to tutor your family - nothing else.
A window into every session
Real screens from the app: how you stay in the loop - and what learning looks like for your child.
