Started by Billy Miecuna, who was the student this is for: the one who cared a lot and still couldn't find the assignment. Homework Turtle is the calm homework hub for students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and other learning differences: an assignment tracker, a full notes studio, and Shelly, the AI tutor that explains step by step instead of handing over answers. One Family plan covers the kids and gives parents a real dashboard.
