Synthesis Tutor Review

Thonko

Synthesis Tutor is an AI math tutor for kids aged 5 to 11. It covers elementary math and nothing else. This page is a briefing from the company's site and from Trustpilot reviews, checked in October 2026. It is not a hands-on test.

What it is

Synthesis calls it "your child's personal math tutor." It covers "the standard K-5 math curriculum": counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions and early algebra. The tutor adjusts to the kid's level as they go.

It runs on iPad, Android tablets and computers, including Chromebooks.

What it costs

  • One child: $45 a month, or $300 a year.
  • Family plan: listed at $119 a year. The page showed more than one figure for the family plan when we checked, so confirm the price at signup.
  • Lifetime: $999 for one child.
  • Free trial: seven days, no credit card.

What parents say

On Trustpilot, Synthesis had 4.4 out of 5 across 318 reviews in October 2026.

The praise that repeats is that kids come back to it unasked. Two reviewers put it this way: "I never had to remind them to log in," and "He asks daily (on his own)."

Two complaints repeat as well. One is novelty: "After a few weeks my child doesn't want to play with it." The other is pace. Some parents paid for a year and their kid finished the content in about three months.

Who it suits

A kid in kindergarten through fifth grade who needs math and likes a screen. It does not cover reading, science or writing.

Before you pay

  1. Use the seven-day trial and count how many days your kid opens it without being told.
  2. Start monthly. Switch to the annual plan only when you have seen your kid's pace.
  3. If you have two or more kids, check the family plan price at checkout before you pick a plan for one.
