About

Sam The Wise

Features
Read full description

Sam is a German Shepherd. He can’t fetch a ball to save his life. Helping you study? That’s his thing. He remembers which topics trip you up. He’ll give you feedback on an essay before you hand it in, quiz you on your weak spots, and try another explanation when the first one doesn’t click. LET ME SHOW YOU. Sometimes a paragraph isn’t enough. Sam draws diagrams, plots functions, and builds interactive 3D models during your conversation. Explore a molecule, move around a solar system, or see how a function behaves. Five tutoring modes let you choose how to work. Get guidance toward an answer, break down a difficult topic, ask for a direct explanation, or talk things through. In Teach-Back mode, you explain the topic to Sam. His questions help you find the gaps. YOUR NOTES → FLASHCARDS. Upload photos, PDFs, or documents and turn them into flashcards. Practise with eight question types, with reviews scheduled around how well you remember. Spend more time on what’s difficult and less on what you already know. HAND IN YOUR BEST DRAFT. Sam reviews your essay with a score, a rubric breakdown, and specific suggestions. See what works, where your argument needs attention, and how a passage could be clearer. Get support for 15 essay types in German and English, including Charakterisierung, Erörterung, Gedichtanalyse, and argumentative and analytical essays. FIND OUT BEFORE YOUR TEACHER DOES. Try a timed practice exam, then review feedback on what you understood and what still needs work. Go into your next study session knowing where to start. KEEP THE REST TOGETHER. Keep track of exams, your schedule, and grades alongside your study materials. Supported grading systems include German points, FOS/BOS, percentages, letter grades, and custom scales. All inside Sam’s notebook, with warm paper, handwritten details, and a desk that turns dark in the evening. Free to start. Built by a student who needed exactly this. Available in English and German.
