Talks back, properly
Full voice conversation, not dictation. Your child interrupts, asks "wait, why?", says it in Hindi halfway through — and the lesson keeps going. This is the feature children actually use.

Your child's
personal tutor.
Awake at 9 PM.
My Ustaad is a patient tutor your child can actually talk to — in English, Hindi or Hinglish. It listens to the doubt, works through it on a board, asks questions back, and remembers exactly where your child got stuck last week.

Sir, mujhe quadratic equations bilkul samajh nahi aa rahi. Kal test hai.
Ustaad
Koi baat nahi. Formula abhi bhool jao. Pehle ek simple example lete hain — x² + 5x + 6. Do numbers chahiye jo multiply karke 6 dein aur add karke 5.
Board
01 x² + 5x + 6 = 0
02 2 × 3 = 6 · 2 + 3 = 5
03 (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0
Ustaad
Ab tum batao — x ki values kya hongi? Sochke bolo, main wait karta hoon.

The difference
Answers are cheap now.
Teaching still isn't.
Any chatbot will solve your child's homework in four seconds. That is precisely the problem. A tutor's job is to make the child able to solve the next one alone — which means holding back the answer, asking the right question, and noticing the mistake behind the mistake.
A general chatbot
Solves it for them
ChildSolve x² + 5x + 6 = 0
Chatbotx = −2 and x = −3. Here is the full working, step by step…
Childok thanks
Homework finished in 40 seconds. Nothing learned. Same question tomorrow, same blank stare.
My Ustaad
Makes them solve it
ChildSolve x² + 5x + 6 = 0
UstaadI can solve it — but you have a test tomorrow, so let's do it together. Which two numbers multiply to 6 and add to 5?
Child2 and 3?
UstaadExactly. Now write the brackets. And watch the signs — that's where you slipped last Tuesday.
Three minutes. The child did the work. And My Ustaad already knew which mistake to guard against.
A session, start to finish
It runs like a real tuition class — not a chat window.
01ASK
Your child talks.
In whatever language works.
No typing out textbook questions. They speak the doubt the way they'd say it to a person — half English, half Hindi, all of it fine.
"Mujhe photosynthesis samajh nahi aa raha."
02SHOW
Or points the camera at the page.
A photo of the textbook, the worksheet, or their own handwritten attempt. My Ustaad reads the question and the working — which is how it finds the actual error rather than just marking it wrong.
03UNDERSTAND
The explanation changes until it lands.
One child gets fractions through pizza. Another through money. A third needs to see it drawn. My Ustaad tries a different route each time the child says "still not getting it" — and it will say the same thing five times without a trace of irritation.
04PRACTISE
Then it hands the chalk back.
Guided problems, one at a time, with the difficulty tuned to what the child just demonstrated. Wrong answers aren't corrected — they're diagnosed out loud.
05REMEMBER
And tomorrow, it picks up where you left off.
Every session updates the child's mastery profile. My Ustaad opens the next one already knowing what's shaky.
"Last time you got 3 of 5 on sign errors. Shall we fix those two first?"
What's inside
Six things a tuition teacher does.
All of them, at 9 PM on a Sunday.
Reads the homework page
Point the camera at the question. My Ustaad will not simply hand over the answer.
📷 Worksheet · Ch. 4 Quadratic Equations
Q7. Find the roots of x² − 7x + 12 = 0
Answer: x = 3, x = 4
↳ "Tell me the first step and I'll unlock it."
Explains six different ways
Analogy, diagram, worked example, story, counter-example, or plain repetition — until the child's face changes.
Knows the CBSE syllabus
Chapter by chapter, mapped to the NCERT text your child actually carries to school — plus past board papers for Classes 9 and 10.
Reports to you, weekly
One honest page a week: what was studied, what improved, what needs twenty minutes of attention. No dashboard-diving required.
The part that compounds
After six months, My Ustaad knows
your child better than the test does.
A tuition teacher's real value isn't the hour they teach — it's everything they remember about your child between hours. That memory is the whole product. Every question, every wrong turn, every "oh, now I get it" builds one picture.

What we're seeing: Aarav understands the method — he sets up almost every equation correctly. The marks are going on sign errors during transposition, and on dropping units in numericals. Both are habit problems, not concept gaps. Fix: 20 minutes, twice this week.

01
It tracks concepts, not scores
"78% in Maths" tells a parent nothing. "Sets up equations correctly, loses marks on signs" tells you exactly what to do on Saturday morning.

02
Revision plans itself
Weak topics resurface on a spacing schedule, quietly, inside normal sessions. Your child doesn't experience it as remedial work.
-
03
You get the summary, not the transcript
A weekly note in plain language — time studied, chapters covered, one clear recommendation. Readable in ninety seconds.

Two children, two tutors
Each child gets a separate profile, memory and teaching style. Nothing bleeds across.
Scope, honestly stated
We do a narrow thing extremely well
before we do everything badly.
Plenty of platforms claim Class 1 to 12, every board, every subject. We'd rather be the tutor UAE parents recommend for Class 9 Maths.

The pilot build. One subject, done properly, in front of a hundred real students.
02
Classes 9–10, then Science
The board-exam years next, where willingness to pay is highest — then the second subject.
03
British, IB and American curricula
Dubai's private schools run seventeen curricula. The tutoring engine doesn't change — the curriculum map does.
04
Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC
Arabic-language tutoring on the Saudi national curriculum.
The goal was never to finish the homework. It was to make the child able to finish it without us.
Why we built My Ustaad
Planned pricing
Less than one tuition session.
Every day of the month.
A private tutor in Dubai runs around AED 500 per subject, per month, at a fixed hour on a fixed day. My Ustaad is built to cover every subject, every hour, for a fraction of one of them. Pilot families pay nothing — these are the prices we intend to launch at.

The questions parents actually ask
Fair questions. Straight answers.
Why not just let my child use ChatGPT? It's free.
Because a general chatbot is built to answer, and a tutor is built to withhold. Ask it a homework question and it produces a perfect solution in four seconds — which is the fastest possible way for a child to learn nothing. My Ustaad refuses the shortcut, works from the NCERT chapter your child is actually on, keeps a running record of every mistake they've made, and opens tomorrow's session already knowing what to check. That memory is the thing a fresh chat window can never have.
Will it just do the homework for them?
No — that's a deliberate product decision, and occasionally an unpopular one with children. My Ustaad will explain, demonstrate on the board, and walk through a similar problem end to end. For the question actually assigned, it guides step by step and asks the child to produce each step. Parents can see, in the weekly report, how much of the working the child did themselves.
My child mixes Hindi and English constantly. Is that a problem?
It's the normal case here, and My Ustaad is built for it. A child can start a sentence in English, switch to Hindi mid-thought, and get the explanation back in whichever language they seem most comfortable with. They can also say "explain this in Hindi" or "say that again in English" at any point.
Is it aligned to the CBSE syllabus my child's school follows?
That is the whole design. The pilot covers Classes 6–8 Maths, mapped chapter by chapter to the NCERT textbooks your child already carries to school. Classes 9–10 and past CBSE board papers follow, then Science. If your school supplements with its own material, your child will be able to photograph it and work through it with the tutor directly.
What can my child talk about with it?
Schoolwork. Conversations are scoped to the curriculum and to study habits; off-topic exchanges are redirected rather than answered. Parents can review session history at any time, and there's a one-tap way to flag anything that looks wrong to us.
Does it replace my child's tuition teacher?
That is the bet, and the pilot is how we find out. For some families it should replace a subject or two; for others it fills the gap between tuition sessions — the 9 PM doubt, the night before the test, the chapter the teacher moved past too quickly. We would rather your child use it for a few weeks and let you judge from their own behaviour than take our word for it.
Which devices does it work on?
Any modern phone, tablet or laptop through the browser — nothing to install. Native iOS and Android apps come later. Voice needs a microphone and works best with headphones.
Who's building it
Two founders.
One builds it, one sells it.
Manish Rana
Co-founder · Technology
Owns the build — the tutoring engine, the voice and vision stack, curriculum mapping and infrastructure. Co-founder at Tenet Quad LLP.
Lekha Kothari
Co-founder · Sales & Marketing
Owns go-to-market — school pilots, parent communities, brand and acquisition. Co-founder at Tenet Quad LLP.
We are the same two-person team currently building Whatshot AI at Tenet Quad LLP. You will be talking to one of us, not a support queue. If your child tries this and hates it, we would genuinely rather hear that early — it is the most useful thing a pilot family can give us.
Pilot places · Dubai
The real test isn't our demo.
It's whether your child opens it on Tuesday.
We are building this with a first group of a hundred Dubai CBSE families, free, for the whole pilot. In exchange we ask one thing: tell us honestly whether your child keeps going back to it.
