Learn by teaching. iTutor helps students study by explaining what they learned in their own words. Choose a topic from History, US History, Geography, Physics, or Biology that you studied recently and explain it as if you were teaching a classmate. You can type your explanation or record your voice. iTutor then analyzes your response with AI and returns a 0-100 score, strengths, areas for improvement, and a clear summary of the topic. With iTutor, you can: - practice active recall instead of only rereading notes - send text or audio explanations - take quizzes organized by subject and topic to reinforce what you've learned - review transcriptions, feedback, and study history - identify learning gaps before the next test - get help from a dedicated in-app assistant whenever you have questions about how the platform works - follow guided walkthroughs that introduce each area of the app the first time you visit it In this version, we reorganized the app's navigation to make actions - practicing, taking a quiz, checking your mastery - easier to find, and we added Spanish as a new language, alongside Portuguese and English. iTutor is designed for students who want a more active, guided, and practical study routine. Important: - internet connection is required - currently covers History, US History, Geography, Physics, and Biology content
