Would love to have a 10 min chat : https://calendly.com/nihaalmanaf/parent-outreach

This also helps your child to truly understand instead of merely memorizing.

I would love to chat with parents who can relate. Pls feel free to comment below to discuss more!!

This is a question that has been bothering me.

Many of our children spend a lot of time on homework, revision papers, and tuition. They may recognise the chapter, complete the worksheet, and say, “I understand.”

But try asking:

“So why does that happen?”
“Can you explain this to me from the beginning?”
“What would happen if we changed this part?”

And suddenly, it is “I don’t know,” “I forgot,” or “Can you just tell me the answer?”

That is not because they are lazy. Re-reading and recognising an answer can feel like learning. But explaining an idea clearly, in their own words, is when they discover whether they really understand it.

So we built RubberDuck.

Your child picks something from this week’s lesson and teaches it out loud to Ducky—a patient, clueless little duck who genuinely needs the explanation.

Ducky asks things like:

“Why?”
“How do you know?”
“What if it happened differently?”
“Can you give me an example?”

No typing. No worksheets. Nothing for parents to mark.

Just ten minutes of your child speaking, thinking, filling in the gaps, and learning to explain without a script.

It is for the child who says “I know it” but cannot yet put the idea into words.
It is for the quiet child who may not raise a hand in class, but might speak freely to a duck.
And it is for parents who do not need more work to supervise—they simply want to hear their child explain something confidently at the dinner table.

We are looking to speak with parents of primary-school children who recognise this.

If you have ever wondered, “Does my child truly understand, or are they just getting through the homework?” I would love to chat.

Because perhaps the best way for a child to learn is to have someone who needs them to teach.

Your child picks something from this week’s lesson and teaches it out loud to Ducky, a patient, clueless little duck who genuinely needs the explanation.

Ducky uses socratic learning and asks things like:
