For Parents

Invest in a skill that lasts
beyond the exam season.

Most revision resources help students prepare for one set of exams. The Velvet Method teaches students to use AI as a learning partner for the rest of their education — GCSE, A-Level, university, and beyond.

The Parent's Perspective

The question every
parent is asking.

Your child is using AI. So is every other student. The difference between a student who uses AI to copy answers and one who uses it to genuinely understand — and who performs better under exam conditions because of it — is whether they have a methodology.

The Velvet Method is that methodology. It doesn't just use AI — it teaches students how to use AI as a personalised tutor that adapts to their exact needs, identifies their specific gaps, and explains things in the way that works for them.

The result is a student who becomes genuinely independent — not dependent on tutors or on their phone screen, but on their own ability to learn effectively.

Common Questions

Questions parents ask us.

How is the course delivered?
It's an online video course — short, on-demand lessons your child watches at their own pace, plus downloadable prompts and worked examples. It works on any device, any time, with lifetime access, so they can revisit it whenever they need it.
How much time does it take?
Around 45 minutes of bite-size video in total. Most students work through it over a few short sessions, then start applying the method to their real revision straight away.
What if my child has barely used AI before?
That's completely fine. The course assumes no prior experience and works with the free versions of ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini — it teaches the how from scratch, safely and simply.
Will it work for my child's subjects and exam board?
Yes. The Velvet Method is a way of studying, not a set of notes, so it's subject- and board-agnostic. It works across GCSE, A-Level and the IB, for any subject and any exam board.
Does this replace a private tutor?
It's designed to reduce the need for one. The method teaches your child to get personalised, expert-level help from AI whenever they need it — building genuine independence rather than dependence on a tutor or a screen.
Doesn't using AI just encourage cheating?
The whole point of the Velvet Method is the opposite. It teaches students to use AI to understand, practise and test themselves — not to copy answers. The work and the thinking stay theirs. Read our full guide for parents →

Every course comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it's not a fit, email us within 30 days and we'll refund you in full — no questions asked.
