And what is BrainBite?

BrainBite is a learning platform for children ages 6+, built in the Netherlands. Every lesson is short and adapts while your child works: level and pace change question by question. AI mentor Professor BB and mentors from history, such as Cleopatra and Marie Curie, explain, ask questions and give a hint when your child gets stuck.

For children who need more calm, there is Everyone Mode: a calmer screen, a slower pace, read-aloud and brain breaks. Parents follow progress in the parent dashboard and get a short email every week.

Learning with BrainBite.

Explore BrainBite’s lessons and support. Where the source describes a comparable feature, it appears alongside.

Help that talks back

With BrainBite your child can ask the lesson a question. Professor BB gives a hint the moment your child gets stuck, in plain words and without judgement. Still not clear? A different explanation follows. Your child learns the why, not just the answer.

At GoStudent: GoStudent UK describes AI summaries and recaps of tutor-led lessons.

Lessons between tutoring sessions

A weekly tutoring session can help, and practice continues between sessions. BrainBite gives your child short lessons with Professor BB on days without a tutor, helping them practise what was explained.

At GoStudent: GoStudent Learning is a separate self-study product with quizzes and practice questions.

You stay in the loop

The parent dashboard shows progress per subject and per week. Set goals and rewards together with your child, and get a short weekly email with what went well, what was tricky and one tip for home.

At GoStudent: GoClass provides a summary after each lesson so parents can follow progress.

Calm for children who get distracted

Everyone Mode lets you slow the pace, read words aloud, reduce on-screen noise and add brain breaks. You switch it on, and your child gets no label.
