HintStep

HintStep helps parents coach their children through homework — without giving away the answers. Snap a photo of any assignment and get a step-by-step coaching guide built on the Socratic method: the right questions to ask so your child works through the problem themselves. Parents also get a private cheat sheet with worked examples and short video recommendations, so you can brush up on the concept before sitting down with your kid. What makes it different: Most homework apps give kids the answer. HintStep is built for the parent. It turns you into the tutor — no teaching degree required. Your child builds real problem-solving skills instead of learning to copy. Key features: Works for any subject (math, science, reading, writing, social studies) across all grade levels K–12. Coaching is aligned to your state's education standards, including TEKS, Common Core, and 48 others. Available in 14 languages so every family can use it. Starts free with 5 scans, then $4.99/month for unlimited. The outcome: Less homework stress, more confidence — for both parent and child. Families report that homework time goes from a nightly battle to a bonding experience.
