Every student knows the feeling. You’re sitting at your desk with a problem that just won’t make sense. It might be algebra, biology, or a writing assignment due in the morning. You reread the question repeatedly. The notes from class look fine, but they don’t connect the dots.
AI has helped with some of this, yet most tools answer questions in plain text. That’s fast, but it can feel cold. A paragraph explaining calculus on a phone screen doesn’t always help when you need someone to walk you through it.

It feels closer to sitting beside someone who understands the material.
Talking Through the Hard Parts
Tutoring has always been conversational. A good teacher explains an idea, notices a student’s confused look, and tries another angle.
iAsk’s Video Tutor follows that same back-and-forth style. Students ask how to solve a physics formula or how to make their essay sound clearer. The tutor then answers and keeps going. No appointments required. No waiting for a response. Just a simple conversation about the question at hand.
Hearing an explanation often helps more than reading one.
Built for Everyday Study Sessions
School doesn’t end when class is over. Homework happens at night, on weekends, and in quick bursts between other responsibilities.
The AI Video Tutor fits into that routine. It is available at any time and can handle as many questions as a student needs. Some students use it for one minor clarification before an exam. Others review entire chapters. Because the tutor is always there, it works naturally with different learning styles.
Not everyone thinks best by typing.
What Early Users Have Shown
Over the past few months, more than 22,000 students have used the AI Video Tutor.
They used it for predictable things: math homework. Science questions. Writing feedback.
The pattern became clear. Students who used the tutor tended to stay longer. They came back more often. Video explanations helped them follow the steps without getting lost in the format.
Understanding improved when the experience felt personal.
The Idea Behind the Screen
Answers are important. Still, the goal for students is understanding. That’s the part that actually raises grades and lowers stress.
The AI Video Tutor focuses on that. It explains the steps. It answers follow-ups. It revisits the basics when necessary.
It tries to act like a tutor rather than an answering machine.
The New Way to Ask
Students will always face confusing problems. Deadlines will continue to pile up. Late-night study sessions aren’t going away.
What can change is how students get help in those moments.
iAsk is betting on conversation, voice, and video as part of that future. It’s a slight shift, but it makes a difference the first time you use it.
The AI Video Tutor is now free for all users. Join thousands of students who already rely on it each month.
