Every student deserves a personal math coach — in school and after school. Now you can.
StarCoach — an AI math coach co-designed by Phil Daro, co-author of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.
What three Everett classrooms told us.
“It’s like having a friend on my side.”
“It was… a godsend.”
Very impressive! The pilot demonstrated the four design principles that drive math learning at scale: mindset, duration, frequency, and recognizable relevance — on the student’s side.
It superpowers teachers — and does what tutors and chatbots can’t.
One teacher can’t give thirty students one-on-one attention at once. StarCoach gives every teacher exactly that — personalized coaching at scale, for every kid in the room.
We show them the mistake and ask a reflective question — ‘why do you think Alicia made that mistake?’ Once they realize it, they’re on the alert: they don’t make the mistake, or they catch it and correct it.
Teachers, tutors, chatbots — how StarCoach compares
Up and running in four steps.
Set up the classroom
Teacher creates a classroom and shares a join link. Students join with a first name and last initial.
The coach engages students
The coach affirms, catches misconceptions, and keeps each kid moving at their own pace — in their own language.
Reward with a game break
Finish the work, unlock a StarDragon break. The reward stays separate from the math, so it motivates.
Students keep coming back
“We promise we’ve done five solid minutes — please give us the game.” The block becomes a routine students protect.
Privacy-first by default. Students join with a first name and last initial only — no email, no phone number required.
Meets each student where they are.
We don’t say “we support all learners.” We name the groups in your classrooms and give teachers the controls.
| Student group | What StarCoach does today |
|---|---|
| English & multilingual learnersLanguage access | Coaches in 10+ languages with speech in and out — the problem stays in English, the coaching meets them in their language. |
| Special educationDyslexia, ADHD, dyscalculia, processing | Read-aloud, large text, dyslexia-friendly warm background, reduced motion, number lines and place-value scaffolds — built in. |
| Gifted & advanced learnersChallenge & extension | No ceiling, no waiting for the class — drop back to fill a gap, or push ahead into systems of equations. |
| Latino & dual-language studentsClosing the disconnect | Feedback in a language they understand. “Having StarCoach fill that disconnect — that felt really good.” — Marco Navas, Bellevue SD. |
