Your Custom Study Portal.
A clear next step. A stronger understanding.

What is the Custom Study Portal?

Kerr University’s Custom Study Portal is a secure, private login where each student finds study aids that Digby R. Kerr builds from their actual class. Every course is custom built around the student’s real assignments, not a generic curriculum, and parents can get view-only access to follow along.

Digby takes the student’s real assignments and rebuilds them into easier-to-master study aids in audio, visual (timelines, diagrams and flip cards) and simplified formats that target exactly where the student struggles. It covers everything from weekly quizzes and tests to overall course mastery.

How it works

1. Start with a free 30-minute intro class. Share the class, the syllabus and the topics that feel hardest.
2. Digby R. Kerr builds your custom course. The plan follows your actual class, week by week.
3. Share your real assignments. Readings, prompts, problem sets and study materials become the raw material for your study aids.
4. Digby rebuilds them into study aids. Study guides, audio reviews, timelines, diagrams, flip cards, simplified summaries, practice quizzes, flashcards and checklists.
5. Study in your private portal. Sign in securely, work through your aids before each quiz or test, and review progress notes after each session.
6. Parents follow along. With Digby’s approval, a parent gets a separate view-only login.

Who it’s for

• High school students in AP, honors and advanced courses who want to keep up with demanding reading and walk into unit tests prepared.
• College students, undergraduate and graduate, working through writing-heavy seminars, history and literature reading loads, business courses, case studies and capstones.
• ESL and Business English learners who want lessons turned into audio, vocabulary flashcards and simplified practice they can review between sessions.
