Meet CT-1: The Study Buddy Who Never Gives Up
CT-1 and friends tackle the textbook one page at a time — slipping, scanning, and studying together. A reminder that every student, even the cardboard kind, has good days and tough ones.
Who is CT-1?
He’s made of cardboard.
He wears glasses too big for his tiny face.
He fumbles. He slips. He lies flat on the textbook and questions his life choices.
And then?
He gets back up. Every single time.
CT-1 is a robot — but he’s also something more.
He’s every student who’s ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, distracted, or lost in a sea of words and formulas.
He’s the study buddy who doesn’t have all the answers — but shows up anyway.
He learns, fails, and tries again.
He turns setbacks into comic moments. He brings humour into hard days.
He reminds us that learning isn’t always smooth — but it’s always worth continuing.
Why I Created CT-1
As a tutor, I’ve worked with hundreds of students across all walks of life — from top scorers to those with learning differences, from highly motivated teens to those who’ve nearly given up on themselves.
And what I’ve learned is this:
✨ The most powerful thing I can give them is not just knowledge, but companionship.
🧠 Not just answers, but encouragement.
🤖 Not just explanations, but a reminder that they’re not alone.
CT-1 is that reminder — in cardboard form.
The Spirit of CT-1
What does CT-1 stand for?
He stands for:
💪 Tenacity – Even when the page feels like a mountain.
💭 Curiosity – Even when the topic makes zero sense.
🤸 Resilience – Even when things go sideways (literally).
💛 Companionship – Especially when you're feeling like giving up.
CT-1 doesn’t need to be perfect.
And neither do you.
He’s here to study with you — through the good times and the not-so-good ones.
You’re Not Alone
Whether you're preparing for the O-Levels, struggling with Algebra, or just trying to finish your homework before you crash into your pillow — CT-1 is with you. And so am I.
This blog isn’t just about a robot.
It’s about building a space where students feel seen.
It’s about reminding you that:
Struggling doesn’t make you weak.
Needing help doesn’t make you slow.
Feeling tired doesn’t make you lazy.
You’re human.
CT-1 is cardboard.
But both of you?
You’re doing your best.
And that’s something to celebrate.

Break big tasks into bite-sized steps (CT-1-style)
Use Pomodoro techniques to stay focused

📣 Final Word from CT-1
"You're not alone. Whether you're stuck, sleepy, or smashing it — I'm right here with you. Let’s study this thing together."
