Waypoint Mentor

A math tutor you can talk to, any time you're stuck.

Say the problem out loud or type it in, and the tutor works through it with you one step at a time on a whiteboard, checking each step makes sense before moving on. It explains why each step works, not just what the answer is.

How do I solve a quadratic equation when it won't factor nicely?
That's exactly when the quadratic formula earns its keep. I'll put the formula and a worked example on the whiteboard.
‹›The Quadratic Formula
Copy

For any equation in the form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the solutions are:

x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

Worked example: solve 2x2+3x−5=02x^2 + 3x - 5 = 0

  • a=2a = 2, b=3b = 3, c=−5c = -5
  • Discriminant: b2−4ac=9−(4)(2)(−5)=49b^2-4ac = 9 - (4)(2)(-5) = 49
  • x=−3±74x = \frac{-3 \pm 7}{4}, so x=1x = 1 or x=−2.5x = -2.5

When to use it: any quadratic that doesn't factor cleanly. The discriminant also tells you how many real solutions exist before you finish solving.

How the math tutor helps

Step by step, at your pace

Each step appears on the whiteboard and waits for you. Say "yes, next" when it clicks, or "I don't get that step" and it explains it a different way.

Graphs you can play with

For functions, the tutor can open an interactive grapher so you can drag a slider and watch the curve, its roots and turning points move.

Checks you actually understood

At the end it asks one quick question to check, and remembers the topics you found hard for next time.

Math topics it covers

  • Algebra and equations
  • Functions and graphs
  • Trigonometry
  • Calculus
  • Statistics and probability
  • Linear algebra
  • Word problems
  • Exam revision

Not on the list? Ask anyway: it covers any math topic, and on Plus it answers from your own uploaded course notes.

How a session works

  1. 1.

    Ask out loud or type

    Press Start talking and talk like you would to a tutor, or type your question. You can interrupt it any time.

  2. 2.

    Watch it on the whiteboard

    The working appears one step at a time. Say "yes" to move on, or ask for a step to be explained another way.

  3. 3.

    Check you've got it

    It ends with a quick question to check, and remembers what you found hard for next time.

Questions about the AI math tutor

Can I talk to it out loud?

Yes. Press Start talking and just talk, like a call with a tutor. You can interrupt it mid-sentence, and it puts the working on a whiteboard while it explains. Free accounts get 10 voice minutes a month, with no card needed.

Will it just give me the answer?

It can, but by default it teaches: it shows the method, asks you to try the next step, and checks your understanding. Ask it to show the full worked solution any time.

What level of math does it cover?

From high school algebra through university calculus, linear algebra and statistics. Tell it your level and it adjusts how much it explains.
