More detail
General-purpose assistants are great at one-off questions, and some remember things across chats, but they don't keep your textbook as the fixed source for a subject or track what you have mastered through assessment. iTutor is built for the learning loop: ground answers in your sources, teach step by step when you want it, generate practice, schedule spaced reviews, track mastery in a subject report, repeat. It has a free plan for individuals, with paid plans from $4.99 a month.
