Disclaimer

Last updated 31 July 2026

In short

Tara is a study companion, not a teacher, not a tutor, and not a marking service.

It runs on a language model, so it can be confidently wrong and it can misread handwriting. Please check important work.

What Tara is not

  • A qualified teacher or a substitute for school
  • A tutor, a coaching class, or exam preparation
  • A marking, grading or assessment service
  • A guarantee of any grade or academic outcome
  • A childminding or supervision service
  • A counselling, medical or crisis service — see Child Safety & AI Policy

The AI can be wrong

Tara’s replies are produced by a large language model. That has specific, known failure modes and we would rather name them than hide them:

  • It can state something incorrect with full confidence. A wrong method sounds exactly like a right one.
  • It can misread a scan. Handwriting, faint pencil, diagrams, and multi-column pages are all read imperfectly. A misread digit changes the whole question.
  • It does not know your child’s syllabus. Methods may differ from the one their teacher taught. The teacher is right, not Tara.
  • It can be inconsistent. The same question asked twice may be explained two different ways.

Treat Tara the way you would treat help from a willing older sibling: useful, well-intentioned, and worth checking.

On purpose, it will not answer

Tara is built to withhold final answers and ask a guiding question instead. This is a deliberate design choice, not a fault. If your child reports that “it won’t tell me,” the product is working.

No promise about results

Nothing on this site is a promise of improved marks, ranks, or exam performance. Any parent comments we publish are individual experiences and are not typical outcomes, predictions, or guarantees.

Outside links

Where we link to another organisation — for example Childline India — we do so for your convenience. We do not control those services and are not responsible for them.
