Help students study smarter for every exam

AI Student Tutor generates practice questions, explains the concepts you are stuck on, and runs interactive Study Mode sessions using the actual content from your course. Ask a question, test yourself, and go into the exam prepared.

Why
it
matters

01
Practice questions built from your course, not the internet
Generic flashcard apps and search results give you content that may not match what your instructor is testing. AI Student Tutor reads your actual course materials, including lecture slides, readings, and uploaded files, and generates questions grounded in that content. What you practice is what your exam is built from.
Risk reduction
02
Stuck on a concept at 11pm? Get an explanation, not a search result
Office hours are closed. The textbook explanation is not clicking. AI Student Tutor can break down any concept from your course materials in plain language, walk through a worked example, and answer your follow-up questions, all without telling you the answer to the problem you are supposed to solve yourself.
Student experience improvement
03
Students self-study more effectively without adding faculty workload
When students have a reliable way to practice and self-check at any hour, the volume of low-level clarification questions directed at faculty drops. Students arrive at office hours with better-formed questions. Faculty spend their time on discussions that require human judgment, not on re-explaining definitions the tutor already covered.

How to help students prep for exams with AI

01
Enable the AI Tutor and turn on Study Mode
In the LearnWise dashboard, open the AI Tutor tab for the assistant. Enable the tutor for your course and turn on Study Mode, which lets the tutor present questions one at a time and wait for student responses before giving feedback. This is the setting that turns a general Q&A assistant into a structured exam preparation tool.
02
Review knowledge sources and add any additional materials
Course content syncs automatically from the LMS. You can adjust which content types the tutor scrapes, add courses manually if needed, and upload supplementary files such as PDFs directly to specific courses from the Course Files tab. The tutor builds every student response from these sources and cites them by name, so it is worth making sure the right materials are included before students start using it.
03
Set answering style, integrity guardrails, and entry points
Set the answering style to guide without revealing answers, so the tutor explains and prompts rather than completing student work. Configure academic integrity guardrails to redirect out-of-scope requests. Then decide how students will access exam prep: set up a Flow to trigger Study Mode automatically when students open the tutor during exam week, or add a Study Mode shortcut button to the chat interface so students can launch it directly without needing to ask.
04
Students practice, ask questions, and run Study Mode sessions
With the tutor configured, students can ask for practice questions on any topic from their course materials, request explanations of concepts they are stuck on, and enter Study Mode for active recall sessions with per-question feedback. The example prompts section below shows exactly what students can ask and what they get back.

How it works

Admins enable the AI Tutor in the LearnWise dashboard and configure Study Mode, the answering style, and any academic integrity guardrails before students access it. Course materials sync automatically from the LMS, and instructors can adjust which content types are scraped, add courses manually, or upload supplementary files directly.

Once live, the tutor reads your course materials and builds every response from that content. When a student asks for practice questions or a concept explanation, the tutor references the specific lecture slide or reading it drew from. Study Mode turns the conversation into a structured practice session: one question at a time, feedback after each answer, and full context retained throughout so students can follow up without repeating themselves.

The tutor guides thinking rather than completing work. Academic integrity boundaries set by the institution are enforced automatically. When a request falls outside those boundaries, the tutor redirects the student toward the learning process.

Key features

  • Generate practice questions from course materials by topic or week
  • Explain concepts and definitions in plain language with examples
  • Run Study Mode: one question at a time with feedback after each answer
  • Work through calculations and show step-by-step reasoning
  • Compare concepts or theories covered in the same course
  • Reference the specific source for every answer it gives
  • Enforce academic integrity guardrails set by the institution

The tutor helps students learn. It does not do their work for them.

Academic integrity guardrails are configured by the institution in the LearnWise dashboard and enforced automatically in every session. The tutor will not write assignments, or provide exam answers. When a request falls outside those boundaries, it redirects the student toward the learning process. The tutor is scoped to the course materials in each student's enrolled courses.
