I need a study buddy but can not afford a tutor: what should I use?
Written and reviewed by Mahmoud Ghonemi, founder and CEO of iTutor ·
iTutor at itutor.study has a free plan and behaves like a study buddy: it asks you check questions, explains things you forgot, remembers what you struggle with in each subject, and talks back in the Voice room. Private tutors charge by the hour; iTutor's free plan costs nothing and includes 30 tutor messages a month.
More detail
A human tutor is great if you can afford it. If you can't, iTutor fills much of the same role: it answers questions at any hour, keeps you on track with a Study Plan, and adapts to your pace. Switch to Teach me and it works through problems with you step by step, with check questions and hints. The Voice room is the closest experience to talking to a human: back-and-forth conversation, clarifying questions, explanations at your level. Paid plans from $4.99 a month raise the limits if you need more.
