I noticed you've answered 6 fractions questions this week with only 50% accuracy. Want me to create a focused 5-minute session on fractions tonight?

"The AI writing feedback is extraordinary. My daughter submitted a practice essay at 9pm on a Tuesday and had detailed feedback within seconds. No tutor can do that."

Sarah M.
Parent · Year 5 · Parramatta

"My son actually asks to open Lumio. I've never seen that with any other study app. Lumi makes him feel like he's having a conversation, not sitting a test."

👨
Michael K.
Parent · Year 6 · Chatswood

"We were spending $300/week on tutoring for selective school prep. Lumio is more specific to the Thinking Skills section than any tutor we found. And it's $25/month."
