What we actually do
Homework help at 8pm is a different problem from tutoring. Nobody wants a curriculum - they want tonight's worksheet to stop being a fight. Your child photographs or types the problem, and gets walked through it one step at a time, with the answer withheld until they get there.

Start with the foundation
Ellis Abel AI sits on top of the Ellis Abel Learns books, not beside them. The books teach the three habits every math learner runs on — owning a mistake, staying calm inside frustration, and trying while afraid. The tutor teaches the math. Your child gets both, and you get a dashboard that tells you which one is actually the problem this week.

Questions Columbia parents ask
- Can my child just get the answers?
- No. It will not give a final answer to a homework problem. It gives the next step, then waits.
- What if I do not remember how to do the math myself?
- That is most parents, and it is fine. There is a short parent explainer on every topic written for adults, not children.
- Does it work with my school's method?
- Usually. If your school teaches a specific algorithm, you can tell it which one and it will follow that method rather than a different one.
