Students often understand a lesson — then forget it.
Lessons can feel clear in the classroom, but real learning depends on what students can bring back later. Proftor focuses on the missing step after teaching: guided recall.
Why recall-first learning works →Recall. Think through.
Put into words.
Proftor turns learning material into short guided recall sessions. Students are not asked to guess from multiple-choice answers. They are invited to remember, explain, and formulate what they know in their own words.
How Proftor works →A session begins simply: "What do you remember from today's lesson?" Students start from what is already in their memory, not from a list of options to choose from.
Socrates reacts to what the student says. It can encourage, narrow the focus, ask for clarification, or offer a hint — guiding the student to think more deeply without giving away the answer.
The goal is not to click the correct answer. It is to recall, explain, and formulate. The student's own words show what is understood — and reveal where the gaps really are.
Proftor is inspired by retrieval practice, active recall, and spaced practice — learning methods connected with stronger long-term retention.
Read why recall-first learning works →Recall practice,
not exam pressure.
Tests usually measure what students already know. Proftor uses recall as practice: a way to strengthen memory, reveal gaps, and help students think through their understanding before assessment.
Guided learning,
not instant answers.
General AI tools often answer too quickly. Proftor's Socrates engine is designed to guide students towards their own explanation, so they can put knowledge into words instead of passively receiving it.
Designed to support teachers.
Teachers define what matters. Proftor helps students practise after the lesson and gives teachers clearer signals about what was remembered, missed, misunderstood, or uncertain.
Proftor for teachers →The teacher selects the lesson, topic, or material students should practise. Proftor organises it into a guided recall journey built around what the teacher considers important.
Students complete short recall sessions after the lesson, on their own device. No grading by hand, no new lesson plans — just better retention after every class.
After each session, Proftor shows what students remembered, what was vague, what was missing, and where follow-up may be useful — without reading a single response yourself.
A controlled AI learning layer
for education providers.
Proftor gives schools, training providers, and education organisations a structured way to use AI for learning practice — without turning AI into an uncontrolled answer machine.
