SEND-first by design
SEND is not a setting we switched on afterwards. It decides how Chalk speaks, what it puts on screen, how fast it moves and how it guides.
About Chalk
The story behind Chalk
We are a small team, still in pilot, building the tutor we wanted for the learners the usual tools leave behind.We are a small team. We are building a patient tutor.
Why we exist
Every learner deserves someone patient enough to explain it again
One-to-one teaching works. It just isn't equally available. A teacher with thirty children cannot always stop for one, and private tutoring runs to tens of pounds an hour. Chalk exists to put an unhurried explainer in front of any learner who needs one, at their pace, in their words, for as long as it takes.One-to-one teaching works, but not every child can get it. Chalk gives every child a patient tutor.
How we build
Built around how SEND learners learn
Three decisions that settle every argument about what to build next.Three rules we always follow.
- 02
It teaches, it doesn't tell
Hints, guiding questions and one step at a time. Asked outright for the answer, Chalk still guides the learner to it. That rule lives in the software.
- 03
Parents hold the controls
The account, the lesson history and the sources used in every lesson belong to the parent. Children under 13 never need an account of their own.
