Using an AI tutor without cheating yourself

18 April 2026 · 4 min read

AI can supercharge revision or hollow it out. The difference is in how you prompt it.

An AI tutor that just hands you answers feels productive and teaches you nothing. The trick is to make it teach the method.

Ask for a hint before the full solution. Try the next step yourself, then check. You'll remember a method you reconstructed far better than one you read.

Ask it to mark your working against the mark scheme and tell you which mark you missed — that's feedback you can act on immediately.

And never use it during a live assessment. Our tutor is built to refuse that, because the goal is your understanding, not a borrowed answer.
