AskCrates

For tutoring institutes & Nachhilfe schools

Close the gap between lessons.

The practice platform your tutors can actually see into.

Upload your institute's materials — or let students bring their own from school. AskCrates turns those PDFs and notes into tailored practice, and becomes the central hub of every student's learning week between your lessons.

Your materials or theirsTutor lesson briefsThe hub between lessons

Tailor training to your method — and make AskCrates the place students come back to every day.

You only see your students once or twice a week.

Everything in between is a black box — for you, and for the parents who trust you with results.

Tutors walk in blind

"What did you work on this week?" eats the first ten minutes of every session. You are teaching from memory, not from evidence.

Homework is hit-or-miss

Printed worksheets get lost. Generic AI hands out answers. Neither gives you visibility — or the structured practice students actually need.

Parents want proof of progress

They are paying for outcomes, not attendance. When practice is invisible, confidence in your institute erodes — even when your tutors are excellent.

Your reputation lives in the gaps

When students stall between sessions, they do not blame the tool. They blame the school. The week between lessons is where results are won or lost.

Practice that connects to your next lesson.

AskCrates extends the learning engine families already trust — with the institute tools your team needs to run a modern Nachhilfe school.

Students practice with purpose

Study plans, quizzes, flashcards, and the Socratic Learning Companion are all built from real class materials — not generic internet content. Practice matches what you actually teach.

Grounded in uploaded PDFs & notes

Tutors arrive prepared

Lesson briefs summarize recent sessions, completion rates, and performance scores — so every hour starts with context, not guesswork.

Assigned students only

Owners stay in control

Manage your roster, invite tutors, assign students, and track seat usage from one dashboard. Flat licensing tiers with predictable annual costs.

Tutors & admins included

Your materials. Your method. Their daily hub.

AskCrates is not a one-size-fits-all content library. It is a platform you shape around how your institute actually teaches.

Every quiz, flashcard, study plan, and Socratic Learning Companion conversation is generated from the materials that matter — so practice always reflects your curriculum, your scripts, and each student's real schoolwork.

Institute-uploaded materials

Share your own worksheets, course scripts, exam prep packs, and topic guides. Every student on your roster practices from the content you choose — your method, at scale.

Student-brought materials

Students upload PDFs and photos from their own classes — textbook pages, teacher handouts, marked tests. AskCrates adapts practice to what each student is actually working on in school.

Make AskCrates central to the student experience

  • Between lessons, students open AskCrates for today's session — not a random app or a blank worksheet
  • Tutors see what practice was done and on which materials before every lesson
  • Parents see structured learning tied to your institute, not unstructured screen time
  • Your teaching extends beyond the hour in the room — consistently, visibly, and on your terms

Up and running in days, not months.

No IT project. Upload your materials — or let students bring theirs — and AskCrates becomes the curriculum.

What institute leaders are looking for

The between-session gap is the problem every tutoring school knows.

"I used to spend the first quarter of every lesson asking what they did at home. Now I open the brief and we start where practice left off."

Marco · Math tutor, Zurich

"Parents ask what happens between sessions. For the first time I can point to structured practice — not just promise that homework happened."

Sandra · Institute owner, Bern

"We upload our exam prep packs for the whole center. Students also add their school scripts. AskCrates became the one app they open between lessons — and we finally teach from the same page."

Thomas · Nachhilfe director, Basel
