"I don't get it." Every parent knows that moment โ the homework that ends in tears, the concept that just won't click, the test tomorrow you both forgot about. MapleMind is the AI tutor built for that moment, and built for Canada. Most homework apps were made somewhere else, for some other curriculum. MapleMind knows your province, your grade, and your exact course code โ so the help your child gets actually matches what their teacher taught today. From Ontario and Quebec to BC and Alberta, Grades 1 through 12, every course from MTH1W to Math 10 to 30-1. HELP THAT TEACHES โ NOT JUST ANSWERS This is what makes MapleMind different. Guided Learning Mode is on by default: instead of spitting out the answer, it explains the idea and works through a similar example, so your child actually learns how to do it themselves. And it stays that way โ switching to direct answers is locked behind a password or Face ID, so homework help never quietly becomes a way to cheat. It's the AI homework helper parents and teachers can actually trust. EVERY SUBJECT, EVERY GRADE, ACROSS CANADA โข Math โ from counting and fractions to algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and Grade 12 calculus โข Science โ biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science, explained simply โข English โ essay writing, grammar, reading comprehension, and analysis โข French โ core French and immersion, from vocabulary to full written work โข Social Studies โ Canadian history, geography, and civics REAL CANADIAN PROVINCIAL EXAM PREP When exam season hits, MapleMind has the real thing: practice for EQAO (Grades 3, 6, and 9), the OSSLT literacy test, BC's FSA, and Alberta PATs โ in the actual format, multiple choice and written response, with AI-graded feedback that shows exactly how to improve. MORE WAYS TO LEARN โข Adaptive practice quizzes matched to your topic, grade, and skill level โข Snap a photo of a tricky question for instant, curriculum-aligned help โข Streaks, achievements, and progress tracking that build a real study habit โข A fast-paced math game that makes practice feel less like homework LEARN IN 14 LANGUAGES New to Canada? Learning in English as a second language? The AI tutor explains and gives feedback in the language you choose โ English, French, Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Korean, Portuguese, Tagalog, Punjabi, Urdu, Somali, Vietnamese, and Amharic โ so a language barrier never stands between a student and understanding. BUILT IN CANADA, BUILT FOR TRUST MapleMind is Canadian-made and PIPEDA-compliant, with verified parental consent for students under 13. We started it on a simple belief: a kid shouldn't need a $60-an-hour tutor to get unstuck. Every family deserves real, curriculum-aligned help โ in whatever language feels like home. WHO IT'S FOR Students who feel lost and want a patient tutor that never sighs or checks the clock. Parents who want to help but can't quite remember Grade 9 math. Homeschooling families who need curriculum-aligned support. And anyone counting down to a big provincial exam. TRY IT FREE Ask 5 AI tutoring questions and take 1 practice quiz every day, free โ no credit card needed. Go unlimited with Pro for $9.99/month or $49.99/year, with a 7-day free trial you can cancel anytime. COMMON QUESTIONS Is it free? Yes โ 5 tutoring questions and 1 practice quiz free every day, with optional Pro for unlimited use. What grades does it cover? Every grade from 1 to 12, across all 10 provinces. Will it just give my kid the answers? No โ Guided Learning Mode teaches the concept, and it's locked so it can't be switched off without a parent. Does it follow the Ontario, BC, or Alberta curriculum? Yes โ it aligns to your province's curriculum and specific course codes. MapleMind โ homework help that actually teaches.
