AI Study Coach

A tutor that actually teaches you to think

Most platforms just hand you the answer. Our AI Coach works like a real tutor — it breaks the method into steps, explains exam technique, and checks you understand before moving on. Available on every single question.

  • Step-by-step method, not just the final answer
  • Explains the mark scheme line-by-line
  • Adapts its explanation to your level
  • Available 24/7 on every topic in the platform

Adaptive Practice

Infinite questions that target your weak spots

A procedural engine generates unlimited unique questions across every GCSE topic, then serves the ones you need most — harder when you're flying, gentler when you're stuck. You'll never memorise your way through practice again.

  • Procedural generation — never the same question twice
  • Adaptive difficulty driven by spaced repetition
  • Live difficulty + topic tags on every question
  • Aligned to AQA, Edexcel, OCR & Eduqas mark schemes

Digital Working Canvas

Show your working, digitally

Maths needs working — so we built a GoodNotes-quality canvas right into every question. Sketch diagrams, draw coordinate grids, work through algebra, then attach your working so the AI can award method marks like a real examiner.

  • Freehand ink with stylus, touch or mouse
  • Pen, highlighter, shapes, text, grids & formula sheet
  • Attaches directly to your answer for AI marking
  • Focus mode, scratchpad and replay built in
