Miles explains

4 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was July 2026 (-13%), the kind of month when one big site jumps. That’s why the range is wide.

Visits are down on a year ago (-28%), and the last three months were lower than the three before. Name searches are about level (-2% since October 2025). Recent months are getting weaker; the forecast expects November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026.

12-month trend

-4.3% a month; the forecast carries the level of recent months, not the slope

Miles explains

Big green or red bars are usually one site winning or losing a Google ranking, not the whole market moving. What I watch is the last three months against the three before: -6%.

November is usually a bigger month than average (4% above) for searches for “ai tutor”. But the sites’ visits follow rankings more than the calendar, so the pattern is shown and not allowed to move the numbers.

Used in this forecast?

No: average miss 8.4% as chosen, 8.4% without the pattern, 18.5% always with it

Miles explains

I tested the calendar against the last months and it made the forecast worse (18.5% average miss with it, 8.4% without), so I show it but leave it out.

About 8.7M visits in November 2026, about the same as October 2026. The likely range is 7.8M to 9.7M.

By May 2027 the forecast expects about 8,725,593 visits a month, +1% on the 8,626,376 of October 2026, so the next six months look flat.

The forecast expects none of the ten to rise by more than 3%, and Synthesis (-11%), Khanmigo (-16%), Tutor.ai expand-6 (-7%) and TutorGPT (-7%) to fall; the rest are within 3% of October 2026. Single sites are harder to forecast than the whole market, so their ranges are wider.

The ten site forecasts add up to 8,753,042, more than the market forecast of 8,725,593 for every tracked site. Each site is forecast from its own months, with the weighting and the seasonal pattern that suited that site best, and the market from the total, so the two need not add up: Khanmigo and TutorGPT are forecast with the seasonal pattern for November 2026, which the market forecast does not use this month. Read the site figures one at a time, not as a sum.

What could knock November 2026 off course:

• A big site winning or losing a page-one position for “ai tutor”.
• A Google update.
• A site going offline.
• A news story that spikes interest for a week and then fades.

None of these are in the numbers until they happen, which is why the range exists.
