How it works

HelpInStudy's free AI tutor chat answers any study question, then lets you keep asking follow-ups until the topic actually clicks. Set your exam board once and every reply comes back in CBSE, GCSE, AP, Cambridge or WAEC style, matching the command words and working your marker wants. No sign-up, no payment.

  1. Set your exam board. Onboarding asks for your country, year group and board, and takes about thirty seconds. Skip it if you like; the chat still works, it just answers in a board-neutral way.
  2. Ask your question. Type it or use the mic, in whatever words you would use out loud. Include the mark allocation if the question has one, because a 2-mark answer and a 6-mark answer look nothing alike.
  3. Keep asking follow-ups. This is the part that matters. Ask why a step happened, ask for a smaller example, ask for it in your board's wording, and keep going until it genuinely clicks.
  4. Check it without the chat. Close the tab and redo the question from a blank page. That is the only proof the explanation landed, and it is also the line between using a tutor and cheating.

Your exam board changes the answer

CBSE replies are point-marked, so a 3-mark question comes back as three numbered points in NCERT wording, and numericals follow Given, To find, Formula, Solution, Answer with units. GCSE answers for AQA, Edexcel and OCR obey the command word: Explain returns a linked cause-and-effect chain, Describe does not. AP replies label parts (a), (b), (c) and tie every justification to a named course concept, with no warm-up sentence. Cambridge IGCSE and International A-Level answers use the exact syllabus term rather than a paraphrase, because the mark scheme rewards the word. WAEC theory answers are numbered, each point stated then explained in one sentence. With no board set, it teaches the general method and flags where boards differ.

Set your exam board — it takes about 30 seconds and every answer after that matches your syllabus.

One question, four follow-ups

Start with the question you actually have, not a tidy version of it. Ask: explain why the rate of a reaction slows down as it goes on. The first reply gives the collision-theory chain. Then keep going. Why does the concentration drop if nothing is removed? Is it the same reason when the reactant is a solid? Write that the way a 4-mark Explain question wants it. Now give me one and mark my answer. Each follow-up is one step narrower than the last, which is what makes it stick. The same loop works on a calculation: ask for the method on 2x^2 - 3x - 5 = 0, then ask why the discriminant predicted two roots, then do the next question with the chat closed.

Questions students ask

Is the AI tutor chat really free?

Yes. There is no paid tier, no trial, no card and no ads. You can use it without an account, and signing in does not change the chat at all. Either way your conversation stays in your own browser on that one device, is never saved to our servers, and is forgotten when you press Clear history. There is a daily message limit to stop bots draining it, which ordinary revision does not reach.

Will it just do my homework for me?

It will answer the question, and if you copy that answer into your book you have learned nothing and your teacher will usually know. The chat is built to show the method, and when you look stuck it asks a guiding question before handing over the full answer. The honest test: close the tab and reproduce your answer from a blank page in twenty minutes. If you cannot, you have not learned it and should not submit it.

How does it know which exam board I sit?

You tell it once. Onboarding asks for your country, year group and board, and takes about thirty seconds. That choice is stored on your device and applied to every reply afterwards. Without it the chat stays deliberately board-neutral: it teaches the correct general method and says where boards differ rather than guessing, because assuming GCSE conventions would mislead a CBSE or WAEC student. You can change the board any time in settings.

Can the answers be wrong?

Yes, and you should plan for it. It can state a confident wrong number, misremember a syllabus detail, or give a definition your board words differently. Check anything you will be marked on against your textbook, your specification or your teacher. Use it for method and understanding first, and treat any fact you cannot verify as a lead to check, not a finished answer. Asking it to show its working also makes a wrong step much easier to spot.

Does it remember what we talked about?

Within a conversation, yes. It keeps the recent turns in full plus a short summary of older ones, so you can say go back to the second step without repeating yourself. That memory lives in your own browser on that one device, signed in or not, and disappears when you press Clear history or clear site data. We never keep a copy of your conversation on our servers, so it will not follow you to another device — that is a deliberate choice about storing children's chats, not a missing feature.

What can it not do?

It has no file or photo upload, so screenshots and PDFs belong in the Explain or Math solver tools instead. It will not build you a revision timetable, produce a study plan, read your school's own scheme of work, or predict what is on this year's paper. It also has no view of your marks. It is one thing: questions, answers, and as many follow-ups as you need.
