MENTORSTAR

The Playable Knowledge Platform

Learning children choose to do.

MentorStar pairs an AI mentor with game worlds where every challenge is real curriculum. Learners aged 4 to 18 practise, struggle, improve — and walk away with verified skills, not just a score.

Why MentorStar

Play is the method, not the reward

Most edtech bolts games onto worksheets. MentorStar builds the curriculum into the world itself, so effort and enjoyment point the same direction.

Playable knowledge

The lesson is the game

Fractions become resource trades. Persuasive writing becomes negotiation. Learners apply knowledge under pressure rather than recalling it on demand.

AI mentors

A guide, not an answer key

Each learner has a mentor that adapts pace, difficulty and tone — questioning, encouraging and stretching in the moment.

Skills Passport

Evidence that travels

Every verified skill is recorded with the work that earned it, giving families and schools a portable record of genuine capability.

Learning stages

Designed around how children actually grow

Five stages, each with its own mentor style, session length and subject depth.

How it works

From first quest to proven skill

A repeating loop that keeps learners in the zone where progress happens.

  1. Step 1

    Place the learner

    A short diagnostic quest finds the right stage and starting difficulty — no test anxiety, no placement forms.

  2. Step 2

    Play the curriculum

    Quests map to national curriculum objectives, so time in the world is time on the syllabus.

  3. Step 3

    Mentor adapts live

    The AI mentor reads attempts, hesitation and strategy, then adjusts scaffolding in real time.

  4. Step 4

    Verify and record

    Skills are only marked mastered after repeated, independent demonstration — then written to the Skills Passport.

Safety first

AI a parent can actually trust

Child-safe by design, and never a black box to the adults responsible.

  • Mentors are constrained to age-appropriate, curriculum-scoped conversation
  • No open-ended chat with the wider internet inside the learning world
  • Parents and teachers can review mentor transcripts at any time
  • Learner data is never sold, and never used to advertise to children
  • Human review of safety escalations, with clear reporting routes

For families, schools and teachers

One platform, three points of view

Families

Start free at home

See what your child is learning, where they're stuck, and what to talk about at dinner — in plain language.

Schools

Curriculum-aligned deployment

Map quests to your scheme of work, track cohorts, and evidence progress for inspection and reporting.

Teachers

Time back in the week

Automatic differentiation, live class dashboards, and ready-made intervention groups based on real evidence.

Questions

Parents and schools ask us this first

Is this just more screen time?

Sessions are structured and time-boxed by stage, from short 15-minute quests for early learners to deeper project work for teenagers. The goal is deliberate practice, not endless play.

Does the AI do the work for them?

No. Mentors are built to withhold answers, ask better questions and require the learner to demonstrate the skill independently before it counts as mastered.

Does it match our curriculum?

Quests are mapped to curriculum objectives, and schools can align the mapping to their own scheme of work during onboarding.

What does the Skills Passport actually show?

Each verified skill, when it was proven, and the evidence behind it — so progress is auditable rather than assumed.
