Your own tutor that never gets tired of your questions.
Ask the same thing five times, at midnight or the morning of the test. SmartWit talks it through out loud and draws on the whiteboard beside your working. When a step goes wrong, it points at that line and asks the question that unsticks it.

“You moved the −12 across — what happens to its sign?”
Just talk
Ask out loud, the way you would a friend. No buttons, no typing — only your voice.
It sees your work
Write your steps by hand on the board. SmartWit reads them, including the one that went wrong.

A minute is all it takes. Two lines share the board: y = 2x − 1 and y = −x + 5, and one question. Where do they meet? The student moves the −x term across, misses the sign, and lands on x = 4. The tutor doesn't hand over the answer; it highlights that one line and asks about the signs of the parts moved. Second try: 3x = 6, x = 2 — then the graph, two lines crossing exactly where the algebra promised.

TutorToday we're looking at systems of linear equations. Two equations that must both be true at the same time. Here's ours. Here's a table of their values. At what value of x do these two lines meet?
StudentIs it x equals 4?
TutorGood try, but check this step. Think about the signs of the parts moved.
StudentOkay, x is 2.
TutorExactly right. At x equals 2, both equations give 3. The graph and your algebra agree perfectly.
StudentAny quick tip for solving these?
TutorGraph the lines. The crossing point is always the solution. Then check yourself by substituting it back into both equations.

The difference
It caught the sign error on line two.
A worksheet app checks the final answer. SmartWit watches the work. When the middle term comes out +x instead of −x, it doesn't announce the mistake. It rings that step and asks a question about it.
Rings the exact step · waits for them to fix it · never writes the answer
The exchange, word for word
- Student
- It factors to (x minus 3)(x plus 4)… I think?
- SmartWit
- Multiply it back out for me. What do you get for the x term?
- Student
- Plus x. Oh — the signs are flipped.
- SmartWit
- So which pair multiplies to −12 and adds to −1?
- Student
- Minus 4 and plus 3. So (x − 4)(x + 3).
- SmartWit
- That's it. Here's the graph: which root does the curve reach first?
The syllabus
A real course, not a pile of questions.
SmartWit follows the Illustrative Mathematics sequence most US high schools teach, unit by unit, with mastery tracked per topic, so the next session starts where the last one actually ended. All courses →
Algebra 2
Coming soonPolynomials through logarithms. Being built now; not open yet.
For the grown-up in the room
You're the one deciding. Here's the short version.
Hand over the laptop, listen from the next room, and read the summary afterwards. That's the whole arrangement.
The parent's briefIt won't hand over answers
Two sentences, then a question back. Ask it outright and it narrows the problem instead; the last step is always theirs.
You can check any of it
Every session is recorded and replayable, and ends with a summary you can read in a minute.
It costs less than one tutoring hour
A private tutor averages $35–100 an hour. SmartWit is one monthly price, cancel in two clicks.
