Most AI tutors keep children glued to a screen. Miina sends them out.
Screen-only tutoring
- One child, face-to-face with a device
- Learning stops when the tab closes
- Easy to get an answer, hard to build true skills and learning habits
- Skimming & entertainment, instead of engaged learning
Miina
- A conversation, then a hands-on project
- Questions first, explanations where needed
- Learning that continues at the kitchen table and in the park
- Fosters critical thinking & focused learning
An afternoon with Miina
Maya, age 8, and her volcano
Starts with her question
Maya tells Miina she wants to know why volcanoes erupt. They plan a volcano she can build.
Everything from home
Screen off. She collects a bottle, cardboard, newspaper and tape.
Messy hands = good
She builds the volcano with papier-mâché, layer by layer.
Test 1: too much vinegar!
Baking soda, vinegar, goggles on. The first eruption.
Explaining = understanding
She shows her dad and explains how it works.
Next time: a bigger crater
Back with Miina for a few minutes: what worked, and what to try next.
How Miina works
Everything a good tutor does. Then the part that happens off screen.
Conversations that make children think
Your child talks with Miina like they would with a patient mentor. Miina asks questions that guide reasoning, and only explains when they are really stuck.
Then it sends them off screen
A question about floating becomes a boat to build. Fractions can be practiced with recipes. Miina turns your child's curiosity into real projects to do with peers.
A picture of your child that grows with them
Miina notices what they love, where they are growing and how they learn best, across school subjects and life skills. Every session fits them a little better.
Hard enough to grow, never so hard they give up
Miina keeps pushing gently, backs off when frustration builds, and celebrates the effort, so the answer feels earned.
Coming soon: learning together
Group sessions bring friends into the same project, with Miina guiding the whole group.
Our promise to parents
AI for children should earn your trust. Miina is built to help your child learn, not to keep them hooked.
It's a guide, not a companion
Miina sticks to learning, with no emotional hooks and nothing designed to build attachment.
Success is time off the screen
No streaks, points or rewards for time in the app. Miina's job is done when your child goes off to make something.
You see what's growing, and it stays private
Progress, strengths and interests, with simple ways to help at home. The profile is visible only to your family, and you can delete it any time.
Built by parent-educators in Switzerland
Miina isn't an experiment in AI teaching. It brings a proven, classroom-tested way of learning into your home.
Ten years in real classrooms
Miina's method comes from a project-based learning curriculum used for ten years by a Swiss educational institution.
Made by parents who teach
The people behind Miina are educators and parents, so it's built for how children actually learn at home.
