A patient tutor for every student preparing for IGCSE, O-Level, and SPM.

iStarPal helps primary and secondary school students learn at their own pace — with weekly progress reports for parents, in plain language. Launching June 2026.

We'll only email you when there's something worth your inbox.

Built by teachers. Powered by AI.

What we're building

An AI tutor that asks better questions.

Not a chatbot that gives answers. A patient guide that helps your child think through problems — the way a good teacher would.

Built around the syllabus your school actually teaches.

Cambridge IGCSE, Singapore O-Level, Malaysian SPM. We map every concept to the specification — so practice connects directly to what's on the exam.

Weekly reports parents will actually read.

A short, honest update every Sunday. What's improving, what's slipping, what we'll work on next. No dashboards to log into.

Try the pedagogy

Climb the hint ladder on a real IGCSE question.

Most AI tutors give the answer. iStarPal gives the smallest nudge that lets you find it yourself.

Cambridge IGCSE 0620Paper 4 · Specimen 2024Topic 7.2

Explain why the reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and magnesium ribbon proceeds faster when the acid is more concentrated.

[3 marks]

Hint ladderLevel 1 of 5

What kind of process is happening between the acid particles and the magnesium ribbon?

Try answering in one sentence before climbing further. I’ll wait.

Pedagogy note

Level 1 is intentionally vague. We're inviting you to think before we narrow the field. Most AI tutors skip this step.

Beyond the email

The full picture, if you want it.

Our default delivery is a Sunday email. The dashboard is here for parents who want every concept, every session, every hint level — laid out in one view.

Sofia is building real understanding, not dependency.

She worked through 14 problems this week and only asked for the full answer twice. That's the pattern we look for.

What this means. 65% of Sofia's solves needed only a small nudge (level 1–2). She is reasoning through problems independently. Lower levels are healthier than higher levels.

Where we come from

“We've spent seven years teaching Cambridge students — over 300 of them, every year. iStarPal is what we wish we could give every parent who asks us, 'Can my child have more time with you?'”

Launching June 2026

We're building this for the parents who already trust us with their children's learning, and for everyone who wishes they had a teacher on call. Be the first to know when it opens.
