Built with young learners in mind
Every student, parent, tutor and administrator sees only what their role allows, and this is enforced by the database itself, not just by hiding buttons. Sensitive actions are logged, and signed-in users can report a concern.
Questions
Do I need an account to look around?
No. Subjects, levels, tutor profiles, lesson previews, resources and the classroom preview are all open. We only ask you to sign in when you want to do something that belongs to you, like joining your class or saving progress.
How do I join Chipy?
Accounts are created by invitation. Once a place in a class is confirmed, you receive a single-use link to set your password. Parents and guardians can be invited too.
Are classes online or in person?
Both. A class can be online, in person, or a mix. Some are one-to-one and some are small groups.
How do online classes work?
Your class has a regular schedule. For online classes, the video call link appears on your class page 15 minutes before the start, and only students placed in that class can see it.
How is progress measured?
Each lesson has clear objectives. Tutors record attendance and give feedback on a four-step competency scale (beginning, developing, proficient, advanced), sometimes with a score.
What can parents and guardians see?
A linked guardian can see their own child's records, such as attendance, progress and feedback. They can't see other students.
How do payments work?
Fees are agreed with Chipy and recorded by the Chipy team. Online payment isn't available in the app yet.
Is it safe for teenagers?
Tutors are verified before their profile is public. Communication is tied to lessons and classes, and Chipy doesn't offer private adult-to-minor messaging.
