Every child, exactly
where they need to be.

ClarityGrid Learn is an AI-adaptive learning platform for students in Grades 1–12. It finds where each child actually is — then never stops challenging them.

What ClarityGrid Learn Is

ClarityGrid Learn is a browser-based learning platform for students from Grade 1 through Grade 12, currently free to use. A child creates a profile with just a nickname, grade, and 4-digit PIN — no email, no credit card, no sign-up friction. Then the learning begins.

Every session starts at the student's true skill level — not their enrollment grade. The platform uses a short placement assessment to find where they actually are in each subject, then generates fresh AI questions that adapt in real time: get three right in a row, the level goes up; miss two, it steps back. The difficulty is always just right — never boring, never overwhelming.

There is no ceiling. A Grade 3 student operating at a Grade 8 level in reading keeps getting Grade 8 content. A Grade 10 student who has mastered pre-calculus gets harder problems. The system never runs out of challenge.

How It Works

1. Placement (5 questions per subject, ~10 minutes total)

When a student joins, they complete a short placement test in each subject. The questions are calibrated to the student's enrolled grade. The results are used to assign a starting skill level (Level 1–20) per subject — independently. A student can be at Level 6 in Math and Level 9 in Reading at the same time.

2. Adaptive sessions (10–15 minutes each)

Each session has 10 questions. Every question is generated fresh by Google Gemini AI — there is no fixed question bank. Questions rotate through 10 different formats per subject (multiple choice, short answer, word problems, writing prompts, comprehension passages) to keep learning varied and prevent pattern-gaming.

The adaptive engine adjusts difficulty in real time:

  • 3 correct answers in a row → difficulty level increases by 1
  • 2 wrong answers in a row → difficulty level decreases by 1
  • Maximum level: 20 per subject (no ceiling between sessions — students continue indefinitely)

3. AI grading — with hallucination protection

Grading uses a three-layer system designed to ensure no student is penalized for a correct answer:

  • Layer 1 — Exact match: Answer is compared directly to the correct answer (case-insensitive).
  • Layer 2 — Fuzzy matching: Word-overlap matching catches paraphrased or slightly worded correct answers.
  • Layer 3 — Semantic verification: Only if Layers 1 and 2 both fail, the answer is sent to Gemini for semantic adjudication. The student is never penalized based on Layer 3 alone producing a false negative.

Written responses (Writing subject) are graded by Gemini using a rubric covering structure, creativity, grammar, and task completion. Speaking transcripts are graded on clarity, vocabulary, structure, content, and filler word detection.

4. The Report Card (generated after every session)

Every session produces a three-tab report:

  • Coach tab: AI-written narrative feedback — what the student did well, one specific improvement, and the next topic to work on. Written in plain language readable by the student or a parent.
  • Review tab: Every question replayed — with the full passage for Reading questions, all multiple-choice options highlighted (green = correct, red = what they chose if wrong), and an explanation shown only for incorrect answers.
  • Fix It tab: Only appears when 2+ questions were wrong. Gemini analyzes the pattern of wrong answers and identifies 1–2 specific underlying skill gaps — not "practice more fractions" but specifically what misconception is present — with a worked example for each gap.

5. Progress and motivation

Students earn XP for correct answers, with bonus XP for consecutive correct streaks. Stars are awarded for strong session grades (A = 3 stars, B = 2, C = 1). A daily streak counter tracks consistent practice. A coach recommendation on the dashboard suggests which subject to work on next based on days since last session, accuracy, and gap from grade-level expectation.

Public Speaking Coach

The Speaking subject is unique. Students receive a topic prompt, think for a moment, then speak into their microphone for 30–60 seconds. The browser's built-in Web Speech API transcribes the speech locally — no audio is sent to any server. Only the transcript text is processed.

Gemini evaluates the transcript and scores five dimensions: Clarity, Vocabulary, Structure, Content, and Length. It also detects filler words (um, uh, like, you know) and generates four specific personalised tips based on what the student actually said — not generic advice.

Topics are age-calibrated: Grade 1–3 students get concrete, personal topics ("Tell me about your favourite animal"). Grade 4–6 get opinion-based prompts. Grade 7+ get debatable, structured argumentation topics.

For Schools and Districts

ClarityGrid Learn is currently free for schools with no per-student license fee. No IT installation required for a pilot. Every student in Grades 2–12 with a Chromebook or any browser-capable device can start immediately. Pricing for district-wide use is being developed — early pilots will be grandfathered.

Schools and districts can deploy ClarityGrid Learn as a supplemental learning tool for:

  • Summer learning programs and extended-year interventions
  • After-school enrichment for advanced or struggling students
  • Homework and independent practice assignments
  • Highly capable programs requiring above-grade-level content
  • Student-led exploration outside of structured class time

Per-student session reports give educators insight into actual skill levels, specific knowledge gaps, and learning trajectory — without requiring any district-managed accounts or rostering system.

Districts interested in a formal Data Processing Agreement (DPA) or Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC) addendum should contact admin@claritygrid.com.

Who Built This

ClarityGrid Learn was built by Shirish Verma, a software engineer at Meta and a parent in Bothell, Washington — within the Northshore School District catchment area. It started as a summer learning tool for his own children, built because no existing platform adapted the way he wanted: truly unlimited levels, five subjects including speaking, and report cards that tell a parent exactly what went wrong and why — not just a score.

ClarityGrid Learn is part of the broader ClarityGrid ecosystem alongside ClarityGrid Career (AI career coaching for professionals) and ClarityGrid Jobs (AI job search tools). The vision is a single platform that walks with a person from their first grade lesson to their first job.
