Math homework help, one step at a time

TutorAura · Updated 25 October 2026

Math homework goes wrong at one step, and the hard part is finding which one. TutorAura's AI tutor helps with math homework from grade 1 to grade 12: arithmetic, fractions, percentages, algebra, geometry, statistics, trigonometry and calculus basics. Type the question or write it on the whiteboard, and the tutor explains one step at a time, checks your working and shows exactly where it went wrong.

Key takeaways

Type the question or write it on the whiteboard and get help straight away, any time.
Step-by-step explanations that check you understand before moving on.
Your own working checked, with the first mistake pointed out.
Every step explained with the reason, then one to try yourself.

How it works

Choose Math and type the question, or write it on the whiteboard.
Say where you're stuck: "I don't understand the question", "I don't know how to start", or "check my answer".
The tutor explains one step and asks you to try the next one.
It checks your working and points to the first step that went wrong, if any.
Ask for a similar question to make sure you can do it on your own.

Example: an equation that went wrong

A student solves $4(x - 2) = 3x + 5$ on the whiteboard and gets $x = 7$ . They ask the tutor to check.

The tutor finds the first slip: $4(x - 2)$ was expanded to $4x - 2$ instead of $4x - 8$ . It asks, "What do you get when you multiply 4 by −2?" The student corrects it: $4x - 8 = 3x + 5$ , so $x = 13$ . The tutor suggests substituting back to check: $4(13 - 2) = 44$ and $3(13) + 5 = 44$ . Correct.

Math homework it helps with

Grades	Typical homework
1 to 5	Number facts, place value, fractions, money, time, measurement, word problems
6 to 8	Ratios, percentages, negative numbers, equations, area and volume, statistics
9 to 12	Algebra 1 and 2, geometry, trigonometry, functions, probability, calculus basics

Tips for getting unstuck faster

Show your working, even if you think it's wrong: the tutor can only find a mistake it can see.
Say what you tried. "I divided by 3 first" helps more than "I'm stuck".
Check with a calculator tool: our fraction calculator and order of operations calculator show their steps.

Understand it, don't just copy it

TutorAura explains each question properly: what it's asking, every step with the reason it works, and the answer. Then it gives you one like it to try on your own, so you can do the next question by yourself (and in the test, where there's no help). Prefer to work it out yourself? Switch on Guide me and it coaches you one step at a time. It won't write graded essays or written answers for you to hand in. Follow your school's rules on using AI for homework.

Frequently asked questions

Can it do my math homework for me?

It explains your homework questions fully: every step, why it works, and the answer, so you understand the method instead of just copying a result. Then it offers a similar question to try on your own. If you'd rather work it out yourself, switch on Guide me and it coaches you one step at a time.

What if my teacher uses a different method?

Tell the tutor which method your class uses, such as the grid method for multiplication or a particular way of setting out equations, and it will explain using that method so your homework matches what you've been taught.

Does it help with math word problems?

Yes. It helps you work out what the question is asking, pick out the numbers that matter, choose the operation and check that the answer makes sense in context.

Can I ask my question out loud?

Yes. You can ask by voice and listen to the explanation, which is handy when a question is awkward to type. You can still write your working on the whiteboard.

Can it help with algebra and geometry homework?

Yes: equations, graphs, factoring, quadratics, angles, Pythagoras, trigonometry and proofs, from grade 1 to 12.

Can it check my answers?

Yes. Write your working on the whiteboard or type it, and the tutor finds the first step that went wrong.

Will it just give me the answer?

No. It guides you through the steps so you learn the method. You can ask for a worked example of a similar question.
