Opolo Join the Waitlist

Homework is where capable students get stuck. We think it can be the place they thrive.

Opolo helps neurodiverse learners bridge the gap between their capabilities and getting the work done.

How it works

What Opolo does at homework time.

Coaching

Opolo partners with you and your child on a homework plan that feels achievable, and helps your child understand how they are wired along the way. Self-awareness and curiosity are the goal, not only finished homework.

Execution

Opolo takes on the question that stalls everything: where do I even start? It puts the work that matters first, in sessions small enough to begin, and breaks large assignments into smaller steps.

Comprehension

Opolo translates hard-to-understand assignments into clear steps, and guides your child through the work until it is done.

Feedback

For a child with ADHD, a shorter and more frequent feedback loop is what keeps them engaged and motivated. Opolo builds that loop into every session through the coaching layer, and pairs it with rewards that recognize effort, not grades.

Who it's for

Built for the moment schoolwork becomes more complex.

Opolo is built for middle and high school, starting with students who have ADHD and executive functioning challenges. This is the stretch where one teacher becomes six, work arrives from every direction at once, and the support that carried a family through elementary school stops scaling.

Elementary school parents 38%
Middle school parents 69%
High school parents 64%

Our 2026 survey of parents of neurodiverse students found that 69 percent of middle school parents and 64 percent of high school parents named feeling overwhelmed before even starting as their child's biggest homework struggle, up from 38 percent in elementary school.

Our story

Inspired by my two boys.

My oldest son thrived in a small preschool. But when he entered the public school system with larger class sizes for his kindergarten year, a different kid emerged overnight, and the calls from his teacher started and were endless. His ADHD diagnosis came not long after. We tried everything, IEP, 504 plan, medication, tutors, and by his freshman year of high school we were still living the same patterns. Then my younger son was diagnosed with Oral Written Language Disorder. Their struggles looked different, but for both of them the moment they sat down to do homework at home, the process felt like a mountain to climb. That is how Opolo was born.

Our guiding principles

How we build.

Progress over perfection, always

Opolo is built around forward motion, not a perfect score. Every assignment attempted and every hard moment pushed through is what gets noticed.

Calm is a feature

No countdown timers, no red warnings, no pressure built into the interface. Opolo is designed to make starting easier.

Effort gets noticed

Building executive function skills takes repetition. Opolo notices effort and follow-through, so your child can see themselves growing even when the grade does not show it yet.

Parents champion, not monitor

You get a simple picture of how homework is going, without hovering. And when your child needs you in the room, Opolo gives you the plan and the words to coach them through it, then hands the lead back as they grow. Support, not surveillance.
