AI homework help that checks your answers
Most AI homework help gives you the answer. TutorMate checks the answer you worked out yourself. You finish the assignment, photograph the page, and TutorMate goes through it one question at a time: what is right, what is wrong, and the reasoning behind each verdict. Your first 10 checks are free.
Why checking beats solving
When you are stuck on a problem, a solver is a shortcut to the end of the problem. It is not a shortcut to understanding it. You copy the worked solution, the assignment gets finished, and the gap in your method survives untouched until it resurfaces in the test, where no solver is available.
Checking works the other way. Because you committed to an answer first, the feedback is specific to the way you approached the problem. If you dropped a negative sign in step three, that is what you find out. If you used the right method on the wrong quantity, that is what you find out. This is diagnostic information about your own understanding, and it is the thing that actually changes your score next time.
How to check your homework
- Finish the work yourself. By hand on paper, or on screen. TutorMate is built for completed work.
- Photograph the page. Open TutorMate in your browser or on your iPhone and take a photo of the whole page in good light. You can also upload an image or a document you already have.
- Read the feedback. Each answer comes back marked, with the reasoning spelled out rather than just a tick or a cross.
- Practice what you missed. Turn the topics you got wrong into a quiz and save it to a folder for review before the test.
It reads handwriting
Homework is mostly handwritten, so a tool that only reads typed text is not much use. TutorMate reads handwritten answers as well as printed worksheets. Photograph the page you filled in by hand and it works through your actual writing. Clear, well-lit photographs of the whole page give the most reliable results. Dense or heavily annotated worksheets take longer to process than simple ones, because there is more on the page to read.
Not just math
Math solvers are narrow by construction: they parse an equation and run it. TutorMate reads the page and reasons about what is on it, so it is not restricted to numerical work. It handles written answers, definitions, short-answer questions, vocabulary, and mixed problem sets alongside math. A solver cannot check a biology worksheet or a set of history short answers. This can.
Is this cheating?
No, and the distinction is structural rather than a matter of good intentions. TutorMate will not produce an assignment for you. The workflow requires a completed attempt as its input, so the work on the page is yours. Getting feedback on finished work is what happens when a parent looks over your math, when a study group compares answers, or when a teacher hands back a graded paper. What schools object to is submitting work you did not do, and TutorMate does not produce work to submit.
Common questions
Can AI check my homework for free?
Yes. TutorMate gives you 10 free assignment checks with no credit card required. Photograph the finished page and it marks each answer and explains the reasoning. After the first 10, unlimited checking costs $4.95 per month or $49 per year.
Will my teacher know I used TutorMate?
TutorMate does not alter your work or write anything for you, so there is nothing added to your assignment to detect. You submit your own answers in your own handwriting. What TutorMate gives you is feedback on work you have already done, which is the same thing a parent, a tutor, or a study group would give you.
Does TutorMate work for subjects other than math?
Yes. Because TutorMate reads the page and reasons about the answers rather than running a math solver, it is not limited to numerical work. It handles written answers, definitions, short-answer questions, and problem sets. Math-only solvers cannot check a history or biology worksheet; TutorMate can.
