Khanmigo
Khanmigo is an AI tutor and teaching assistant from Khan Academy. Its learning workflow emphasizes guiding students through a problem with questions, rather than giving an answer immediately. Teachers also receive tools for preparing instruction and reviewing student work.
Use the tutor to work through the problem
Khanmigo draws on Khan Academy's content library across subjects such as mathematics, humanities and coding. The publisher describes support from elementary school through college. A learner can ask for help and use the follow-up questions to explain what they understand or identify the step where they became stuck.
AI guidance still needs judgment. Check explanations against course materials and ask a teacher about an unresolved discrepancy. Use the tool to practice reasoning rather than submitting its wording as your own work where that would breach an assignment's rules.
The site also presents a writing-practice and instruction offering. Confirm the available product and classroom setup before assuming the same access covers every writing feature.
Review instructional material before using it
Teacher tools include lesson plans, quiz questions, rubrics, learning objectives and exit tickets. The homepage also describes summaries of recent student work. These can give an educator a starting point for preparation, but the teacher still needs to check the material against the learning goal and the needs of the class.
Inspect generated questions for ambiguity and review a rubric against the actual assignment before distributing it. A tool's standards-alignment claim does not establish that every generated activity is suitable for a particular curriculum or student.
Choose the right access route
The homepage offers free teacher tools to educators who are at least 18 and live in supported countries or territories. The country list is a separate eligibility check; free teacher access should not be assumed to be available everywhere.
Parent and learner signup is described as paid monthly or annual access requiring an adult in the United States with a U.S. billing address. A parent subscription can enable access for up to ten children under 18. Confirm current eligibility and price before subscribing.
Teachers cannot directly grant students Khanmigo access through their individual teacher account, according to the FAQ. Classroom access is through school or district implementations. Under-18 learners need access granted by a parent or a participating district. Follow that supervision route instead of creating an unsupervised account for a child.
Khan Academy says its ordinary content library and learning platform remain free. That is distinct from paid family access to Khanmigo and does not establish that every AI feature is free.
