What is Synthesis?

Synthesis Tutor is an AI-powered math learning platform designed for children ages 5-11, created by Synthesis. The tool functions as a personalized digital tutor that adapts to each child's learning pace and ability level, covering standard K-5 mathematics curriculum including counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and algebraic thinking.

The platform uses adaptive algorithms to evaluate student responses in real time and adjust difficulty and instruction accordingly. Rather than following a fixed curriculum, the tutor identifies knowledge gaps and targets them with customized lessons. The interface emphasizes multisensory engagement through hands-on manipulatives, visual representations, and interactive gameplay elements designed to help children build conceptual understanding rather than rely on rote memorization. Synthesis reports that over 25,000 families currently use the tool. Parents and educators can access progress reports to monitor learning outcomes without requiring hands-on instruction for each session.

Synthesis offers subscription pricing starting at $119 annually (approximately $10 per month) for up to seven children, or $29 per month on a monthly plan. A one-time lifetime access option costs $1,499. Family plans supporting up to 10 students cost $400 annually. The platform provides a free seven-day trial without requiring a credit card. The tool works on tablets and desktop devices.

The tutor emphasizes encouragement and error tolerance, positioning mistakes as expected learning moments rather than failures. According to user testimonials on the site, children report increased confidence and engagement with math after using the tool regularly. The platform is designed to feel like working with a patient, one-on-one tutor rather than using a traditional digital worksheet or app.
