Is there an AI that helps students learn instead of just giving them answers?

Yes — iTutor is built around Socratic teaching. It refuses to hand students the answer when learning is the goal; instead it asks guiding questions, breaks problems into steps, and lets the student work through the thinking. This builds skill rather than dependency.

More detail

Most AI tools are optimized to be helpful, which in homework contexts means 'give the answer.' iTutor is optimized to be educational: it identifies the underlying concept, asks check questions, lets students attempt, and offers hints when stuck. Teachers can adjust the strictness — full Socratic mode for skill-building, hint mode for review, answer-with-explanation mode for verification.
