You may want a grown-up nearby while you do this. It only takes a few minutes.

Step 1: Enter your invite code

  1. Open TutorCat and choose to create an account.
  2. Type your code into the Invite code box. It looks like XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. The dashes appear by themselves.
  3. Tap Check code.

Why TutorCat asks for your birthday and country

In many countries, the law says a parent must agree before a young person uses an app like this. The age is different in each country. TutorCat uses your birthday and your country to work out if a parent needs to say yes first.

You can't change your date of birth or country later in the app. If you made a mistake, ask a grown-up to email support@tutorcat.ai.

If something goes wrong

  • "An account with this email already exists." You may already have an account. Tap Sign in instead.
  • A box turns red. Read the small message under it, fix it, then tap Fix and continue →.
  • "Too many tries." Wait a minute, then try again.
  • The code doesn't work. Check each letter and number. If it still fails, ask the grown-up who got the email.

What happens next

After you tap Create account →, TutorCat helps you set up. See "Set up your profile".
