MentorDojo
Learn to tutor a younger child the way great teachers do (ages 15–18): wait three seconds, give the smallest hint first, praise the strategy not the trait, and notice the confusion. Train the four moves, order a hint ladder, plan a real 15-minute session, and log your volunteer hours — all on your device.

Meet the cast
MentorDojo's guides are for ages 15–18 (no illustrated storybook): each IS one master-tutor move.
Wait the Heron
wait time — after you ask, count three slow seconds before you help
Hint the Hummingbird
smallest hint first — the least help that unsticks them, never the answer
Process-Praise Pika
praise the effort and the strategy, not "you're so smart"
Notice the Newt
notice the confusion — name what the child did before you correct it

How MentorDojo handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ Free — no ads, no in-app purchases
- ✅ No personal information collected from children — in line with COPPA (updated by the 2026 FTC amendments)
- ✅ No chat with strangers — play-together rooms use a short code and preset emotes, never typed messages
