What to tell them:
- › “Use it to understand what your child is learning — then explain it to them yourself.”
- › “It tells you how to ask the right questions, not how to give the answer.”
- › “You can snap a photo of the homework sheet directly from your phone.”
- › “It’s free. No app to download, no account to create.”

Parent quick-start guide
Print and hand to parents at back-to-school night:
Step 1 — Get the explanation
Go to heroichomeworkheroes.com. Pick your child’s grade, choose the subject, and type the homework question (or snap a photo). Tap “Help me explain this.”
Step 2 — Read it first, alone
Read the explanation yourself before involving your child. Understand the concept so you can explain it in your own words. You’re the teacher, not the screen.
Step 3 — Walk through it together
Sit with your child. Use the numbered steps in the explanation as a guide. Ask the follow-up questions at the end to check their understanding.
Step 4 — Check their answer
After your child writes their answer, use “Check my child’s answer” to get coaching feedback — what they got right and how to guide improvement.
What NOT to do
Don’t show your child the explanation directly. Don’t copy the explanation as the homework answer. The goal is learning, not completion.
