IB Mentor
Tier 1 · Free
A subject-aware IB tutor that knows the exact command terms and mark-scheme language — ask any subject question, or use it for IA/EE/TOK topic-finding.
A student asked
"heating an LED and finding the current that passes through it and hence finding Planck's constant"
Mentor replied
Research Question: "How does the forward voltage threshold of an LED vary with wavelength, and how can this relationship be used to determine Planck's constant?"
IV: wavelength of LED · DV: threshold forward voltage V0 · Key equation: eV0 = hf = hc/λ, so h = eV0λ/c. Plus a Criterion A note on framing the RQ around the physics principle, not just the procedure.

AI Study Coach
Tier 1 · Free
Type any IB topic and get a 4-part breakdown: what's in it, what you need first, where to find the best resources, and how to know you've truly understood it.
A student asked
Physics HL — "Projectile Motion"
Coach replied
Full syllabus breakdown (independence of horizontal/vertical motion, kinematic equations, trajectory analysis), prerequisites (vector resolution, SUVAT), Data Booklet + past-paper guidance, and a mastery checklist that flags the exact misconception "horizontal velocity changes during flight" — with why it's wrong.

Deadline Calendar
Tier 1 · Free
Add an IA/EE/TOK deadline once and it works backwards to generate the right milestones for that assessment type, then emails reminders 7 days and 1 day before each one.
A student entered
Type: Internal Assessment (IA) · Subject: Biology · School deadline: 21 Sept 2026
Calendar generated
8 milestones working backwards from the deadline: "Finalise topic & RQ" (5 Jul) → "Ethics/safety check" → "Design methodology" → "Collect raw data" (1 Aug) → "Process & analyse data" → "Complete first draft" (26 Aug) → "Teacher feedback review" → "Submit final IA" (20 Sept).

Misconception Analyzer
Tier 1 · Free
Tell the AI what you believe, right or wrong — it never explains, it asks one targeted Socratic question at a time until you reach the correct understanding yourself.
A student said
"I think a heavier object falls faster than a lighter object, because gravity pulls harder on things with more mass."
The AI's questions led the student to
Derive a = F/m = mg/m = g themselves in 3 exchanges — the mass cancels out, so both objects fall at the same rate. No answer was ever just handed over.

BridgeSpeak
Tier 1 · Free
Real spoken English practice — read a sentence aloud for instant pronunciation scoring, or turn a confused half-English thought into one clean question to ask your teacher.
A student typed (Tamil-English mixed)
"Miss, andha IA la naan enna topic edukanum nu confuse aayirukken, physics la evlo experiments pannanum theriyala"
Express Yourself rewrote it as
"Miss, I'm a bit confused about my Internal Assessment. Could you please help me choose a topic for it, and also clarify how many experiments I need to do for the Physics component?" — plus a Tamil back-translation to confirm the meaning was captured correctly.

Mentor Suite — IA tab
Tier 2 · Your Gemini key
One of three focused conversations inside Dr. Rao's Mentor Suite. The IA tab runs a Socratic dialogue from a blank page to a focused, IB-format Internal Assessment research question, one question at a time.
A student said
"I like how lenses work, I think optics." → "I noticed my glasses seem to magnify things differently depending on the angle."
Dr. Rao guided the conversation toward
The relationship between lens curvature and focal length, narrowing step by step until a specific, measurable research question emerged — plus notes mapping it to the four IA criteria: Personal Engagement, Exploration, Analysis, Evaluation.

Mentor Suite — EE tab
Tier 2 · Your Gemini key
The second tab of the same Mentor Suite, switched to Extended Essay supervision — guiding you from a vague interest to a focused, investigable EE question, steering away from unanswerable topics before you waste months on one.
A student said
"I'm interested in thermodynamics — maybe something about heat engines." → "I think I can build a simple Stirling engine model at school."
The session narrowed toward
A controllable variable (temperature difference, load, or cycle frequency) and a measurable output — ending with a research question plus a suitability analysis covering methodology, theory depth, and EE criterion alignment.
Open the EE tab →
Mentor Suite — TOK tab
Tier 2 · Your Gemini key
The third tab of the same Mentor Suite. Physics students know the experiments — this tab shows how those experiments become genuine TOK arguments, built around your exact prescribed title.
A student said
Prescribed Title: "Is certainty attainable in the pursuit of knowledge?" — chosen topic: quantum physics, the uncertainty principle.
The session produced
A structured TOK Essay Blueprint: knowledge question, relevant Areas of Knowledge (Natural Sciences, The Arts), Knowledge Framework angles (Scope, Methods & Tools, Perspectives, Ethics), and lines of argument with a genuine counterclaim — not written for the student, laid out clearly enough to write from.

IA Project Diary
Tier 2 · Your Gemini key
Guided, section-by-section IA writing across all 17 sections — every answer gets feedback in three parts, checked against your own saved research question and variables, never the answer itself.
A student's hypothesis
"If the temperature of a nichrome wire is increased, then its electrical resistance will also increase, because a higher temperature causes greater thermal vibration of the metal ion lattice..."
Feedback panel replied
WHAT IS INCORRECTLY SPECIFIED / WHAT IS REQUIRED / HINT — three-part, examiner-style critique, checked against the student's actual saved Research Question rather than judged in isolation.

EE Essay Diary
Tier 2 · Your Gemini key
Same examiner-style engine as the IA Diary, built around the current 30-mark Extended Essay criteria (A–E), for both single-subject and interdisciplinary essays.
A student's analytical angle
"I want to analyse how the deceleration profile of a shuttlecock in flight compares to the theoretical quadratic drag model, and evaluate where the model breaks down."
Feedback panel replied
"Nothing incorrectly specified — this answer clearly articulates the analytical and evaluative focus of your investigation," with a hint on translating it into a precise, arguable research question. Genuine praise when an answer is strong, not just criticism.

TOK Diary
Tier 2 · Your Gemini key
Covers both the TOK Essay (against the 6 real prescribed titles) and TOK Exhibition (against all 35 official IA prompts), anchored on the Knowledge Framework's four pillars.
A deliberately weak knowledge question
"What mathematical models are used to predict the weather?"
Feedback panel replied
Correctly flagged it as first-order (asking for facts, not exploring the nature of knowledge) with a hint on reframing it around the essay's "wrong but useful" claim — catching the single most common TOK mistake.

Research to Lab
Tier 2 · Your Gemini key
Type a topic — it finds real published research, checks it fits the IB syllabus, then generates 6 school-feasible research questions ranked by feasibility.
A student typed
Topic: "Effect of pH on amylase activity"
The tool generated
A summary of 3 real cited studies, then 6 research questions — e.g. "How does the pH of a starch solution affect the time taken for amylase to completely hydrolyze the starch?" (9/10 feasibility) — with the exact IV, DV, and school-lab equipment needed.

ClarifyAI
Tier 2 · Your Gemini key
Paste or upload lecture notes once, then ask questions grounded in your own material, generate a quiz with explanations, or build Anki-ready flashcards.
A student asked (notes on SHM loaded)
"why is acceleration zero at equilibrium but velocity is max there, isnt that weird"
ClarifyAI replied
Answered from the student's own notes (tagged "📚 From your lecture context"): net force — and therefore acceleration — is zero at equilibrium, while kinetic energy (and velocity) peaks there.

UniApply
Tier 2 · Your Gemini key
Answer a bank of Yes/No/In-progress questions about your story once — Gemini writes UCAS, Common App, LOR, SOP and Supplemental drafts, each in the right voice, using only your YES answers.
Real generated opening (UCAS Personal Statement, from an EE about magnet arrays)
UniApply wrote
"The fundamental drive to understand how the universe operates at its most basic level underpins my pursuit of Physics. My fascination deepened during my Extended Essay, which explored 'To what extent does the length of a Halbach magnet array affect the induced eddy-current braking force on a magnet falling through a vertical copper tube?'..." — and from the exact same answers, a completely different first-person Common App essay and a third-person Statement of Purpose.
