A note from the founder

I think a lot about how to prepare my children for what's coming.

One thing I can see clearly is that AI is going to create winners and losers. I want my kids on the winning side by learning to use it well. Knowing when it helps them think, and when it lets them avoid thinking.

Today, a child can type a question into a chatbot and get a clean answer in seconds. The homework looks done. The page looks right. But the child may not have done the work that actually changes them.

That is the problem I built Trellis around. It does not hand over answers. It asks questions. It keeps a child inside a problem long enough for understanding to form. And it stays anchored to their school syllabus, unlike a blank chat box.

One more belief shaped Trellis: I do not believe in cramming. Real learning happens through daily work. I learned that way myself, and it stayed with me. The ones who cram forget by next term. The ones who show up daily end up actually knowing the subject. So Trellis is built for the daily habit, not the last-minute push.

Every child deserves a patient guide who asks the next question. Most parents, like myself, are pressed for time and are often too far away from their school life to be the tutor that the child deserves.

I built Trellis to be that tutor that builds daily habits and creates a life long love of learning for my children. I hope it can do that for your children too.

Who this is for

Trellis is for parents already thinking several moves ahead.

Your child will grow up in a world where using AI well will matter. Trellis helps them build the habits behind that advantage: clear thinking, independent learning, careful explanation, and judgment.

Trellis goes beyond help for tonight's homework. It is preparation for the way your child will learn, work, and compete.

The product

Three kinds of tutoring sessions. One patient guide.

Trellis gives your child a place to learn a lesson, work through an assignment, or prepare for a test. They can speak, type, or show their work through the camera.

It is built for the ordinary moments when a child gets stuck and a parent cannot sit down to reteach the whole topic from scratch.

A lesson broken into clear objectives.

Syllabus grounded

A good syllabus gives the learning a path.

Sequence matters. A child learns more easily when each idea arrives at the right time, with the right foundations already in place.

When Trellis supports a syllabus, it keeps the session tied to that path. When a topic sits outside the curated map, your child can enter a custom topic and year level, then study, complete an assignment, or take a test from there.

Curricula: UK National Curriculum, US Common Core (incl. 27 AP courses), Cambridge International, CBSE, ICSE, IB. 150+ subjects, primary through pre-university.
