Common questions.

Aiyori is an education platform that brings teachers, students and families together. It works for tutoring schools, private tutors, small classrooms, adult classes and in-house training. The teacher hands out videos, questions, worksheets and more. Students do the work and hand it in, and the teacher looks at it and returns it. Guardians can see their child’s progress and schedule.
Handing out, handing in, returning and keeping everyone informed are all in one place.

It costs ¥400 per person per month (tax included). Guardians are free. You can try it free for 30 days. For classrooms outside Japan, it is US$2.99 per person per month (tax included).
See the Pricing page for details.

Aiyori is available to classrooms in Japan, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, Canada and Mexico. Classrooms outside Japan use Aiyori in a web browser. For now, the iPhone and iPad app is available only on the App Store in Japan.
Each person chooses their own screen language from eight: Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, Spanish, German and French.

You can use Aiyori in a browser on a computer (Windows or Mac), Chromebook, tablet or smartphone. Please use the latest version of Chrome, Safari, Edge or a similar browser.
For handwritten marking, we recommend an iPad that works with Apple Pencil. You can also write with a finger or a mouse.

Teachers log in with a 6-digit code sent to their email address. There is no password.
When you create a classroom, you verify your identity once with an Apple or Google account.

The teacher issues an ID and a PIN for each student. Students just enter three things: the classroom code, their ID, and their PIN. No email address is needed.
Right after registering a student, the teacher can send them a ready-made message with the login link, straight from that screen. With many students, you can register them all at once from a spreadsheet table or a CSV file.

On the teacher’s screen, create an invite code for the guardian and pass it on. An invite code is valid for 14 days and can be used once.
Once the guardian signs up with the code, they can see their child’s progress and schedule.

There are 11 types: videos, questions, worksheets, read-aloud, word cards, live lessons, links, notices, items where students choose something such as a date, surveys, and voice or video messages from the teacher.
You choose who gets each one, by class or by student. You can also select students by the tags you give them.

Yes. You can set when it goes out and when it is due. If you leave the date and time empty, it goes out immediately.
At the set time, it appears on the student’s screen and the notice is sent at the same moment.

Students write directly on the screen, or take a photo of what they wrote on paper, and hand it in. The teacher marks the submission by hand in red, adds a score and comments, and returns it as it is.
The teacher can also reply with voice or video, or ask for a redo.

Questions answered by choosing, with a number, or with a word are graded automatically the moment they are answered.
Free-text questions, worksheets and read-aloud are graded by the teacher.

No. Videos you record yourself are uploaded directly to Aiyori. There is no need to put them on an outside video site, and there are no ads and no recommended videos.
A video can be watched only by the students it was handed out to, their guardians, and the teachers of the classroom.
If you want to use a video that is already on YouTube, just paste its URL to hand it out (YouTube may add its own ads to YouTube videos).

Aiyori has no video calling of its own. You can hand out a Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Whereby link together with the lesson time.

So that you can tell which child and what it is about, they include the child’s display name and the assignment title.
They never include message text, scores, the teacher’s comments or tuition amounts.

On the guardian screen of the app, an alarm can also sound before your child’s lesson.

We do not collect an address, a phone number, the day of birth or location. For details, see the Privacy Policy.

Only the child, their guardians, and the teachers of the classroom.
Other students, their guardians and other classrooms cannot see it. However, if the teacher chooses, students who did the same assignment can see each other’s word card nicknames and times.

Data is stored in Japan.
Files such as photos, videos, voice recordings and PDFs are deleted automatically 365 days after upload. Scores, comments and text messages stay.

No outside components for usage analytics or advertising are in the web version or the app.
However, when a teacher hands out a YouTube video, YouTube may add its own ads to that video.

Teachers and guardians can delete their own account after confirming with a code sent by email.

Please check your spam folder. Also check that the email address was typed correctly.
