Prefer watching? Here's the 7-minute walkthrough
If you'd rather watch than read, this covers everything on this page and more. You can always come back here for the details.
The two modes
There are two ways to use your tutor. You pick which one with the toggle below the input box.
Paste any phrase, sentence, idiom, or grammar pattern you don't fully understand. Your tutor breaks down what it means, why natives say it, and how it compares to your language.
Paste something you've written: an email, a message, a sentence you're not sure about. Your tutor corrects it, tells you exactly what was wrong, and explains why your native language makes that mistake feel natural.
How to ask a better question
Your tutor works best when you give it context. Here are a few things that make a big difference.
Use the context selector. Telling your tutor where you saw something (a work email, social media, a film) changes the explanation. The same phrase can mean very different things depending on the situation.
Include the full sentence if you can. "What does 'fair enough' mean?" is fine. But "Someone said 'fair enough' when I pushed back in a meeting, was that dismissive?" gives you a much more useful answer.
Ask in your own language if that's easier. You don't have to ask in English. Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, whatever feels natural. Your tutor understands and responds accordingly.
One thing at a time. A single focused question gets a much sharper explanation than three things mixed together.
Image uploads
On Pro and Unlimited plans, you can upload a screenshot or photo instead of typing. This is handy when you can't easily copy text, like a photo of a sign, a screenshot from an app, or a picture of a document.
Your tutor reads the image, pulls out the English, and explains it just like a typed question.
Your review queue
Every explanation gets saved automatically. Three days after you ask something, it comes back for review. Seeing it again right before you'd normally forget it is one of the best ways to make it stick long-term.
When you have items due, a card shows up on your tutor screen. Work through them when you have a couple of minutes.
Dismiss when you understand it clearly.
Snooze if you need more time. It will come back again later.
Your library
Everything you ask is saved to your library automatically. You never need to copy or screenshot anything.
You can search by keyword, filter by topic or date, and bookmark the explanations you want to find again quickly. It's useful before a meeting, a trip, or an exam when you want to revisit something specific.
