How it works

Every learner — your child, you, or each student in a class — turns the same wheel, the Guru Chakra: Prepare, Practice, Review, Repeat. Behind every guide on it are the six steps below. A guide is usually ready in minutes, and there is nothing a learner has to log into.

  1. You send the work

    Photos from your phone's camera, a PDF or HEIC file, a Word file, a screen recording, or just type the topic. Handwriting is fine. Say who it is for and what you need; a sentence like "she keeps missing the proofs" is enough. Before anything is used, you see what you will get and what it costs, and can change either.

  2. Every page gets read

    Not skimmed for keywords. The actual questions, the diagrams, the numbers printed on the worksheet, and anything the learner already wrote on it.

  3. The problems get worked out

    Solved from scratch, the way a tutor would at a table — why this step follows from that one, what the question is really testing — not looked up and not summarized. In a homework guide, each question starts with the idea, a hint and a worked example of a similar problem; the full solution is at the back, to check the work. Diagrams are drawn where a picture makes it land, and each is checked against the question; a figure that fails the check is redrawn, or left out rather than shown wrong.

  4. Multiple AI systems check it independently

    The worked draft is read again by multiple AI systems, each on its own, without seeing the others' work. They often disagree with the draft, and sometimes with each other, which is the point of asking. For a graded-test review they also see the learner's actual pages. This is the Guru Seal.

  5. Disagreements are settled before you see them

    A flagged point is resolved, not forwarded. Where the evidence genuinely can't settle something, the guide says exactly that at the question — "the worksheet doesn't give this length" is an answer, and an honest one.

  6. You get a PDF

    Branded, organized by unit, and kept in your portal until you delete it. You decide what your child sees and when. Share it with a passcode-protected link if you'd rather they read it on a phone. Short video lessons, whenever you want them: one for each lesson of a Prep & Practice Guide, or on each main idea of a homework guide. A set counts as one guide.

The Guru Seal

Every guide carries the Guru Seal. One AI system works it out; multiple AI systems then check it independently, without seeing each other’s work. Where they disagree, it is settled before you see the guide. Where the page itself does not settle a question, the guide says so at that question. And if a check could not run, the guide tells you that too.

The Seal is a standard for how every guide is made, not a promise that nothing can ever be wrong. If you want a person’s eyes on a guide, a Guru Fellow can review it; if they find a real mistake, the guide is corrected and re-issued at no charge.

See an actual guide

Rather than describe it: this is a real 6-page Prep & Practice Guide that Guru made from Algebra 2 class notes on quadratic functions — six short lessons, each with a worked example and the mistake to watch for, then a practice test with the answers held back. Nothing in it was tidied up by hand. Its video lessons, and samples in science, history and English, are on Guru Chakra in Motion.

What you can ask Guru for

  • Help with an assignment — the Study Guide. Work through an assignment before it's due, written for the grade or class you choose. One guide for each topic, every question in it. A long assignment comes back as one booklet, a guide for each topic, and you see how many first. Comes with a free practice test.
  • Review a completed or graded test — the Performance Review. Understand how a completed or graded test actually went. One guide for the whole test. Review all of it, or only the questions they got wrong. Ends with a practice set for exactly the ideas that were missed, included.
  • Prepare for a topic or chapter — the Prep & Practice Guide. Short lessons, then a practice test, with short video lessons whenever you want them — from a syllabus or chapter, no test from school needed. One guide, ending with its practice test. A long chapter or packet comes in parts by topic, one guide each, and you pick which. Video lessons, whenever you want them, count as one more guide.
  • Help with a writing task — the Writing Guide. A summary, paraphrase, essay, response, or report — what a good one does, how to build it, a model to study, and a scaffold for your own. One credit. It never writes the piece; the model is there to learn from, and the attempt is theirs.
  • One reference for a whole unit — the Master Review Guide & Cheat Sheet. One end-of-unit reference built from everything in the unit. Built from the unit's guides, from the unit's page in your account.

On a phone, snap the pages with the camera. Before anything is used, you see who it is for, what you will get, the subject, the scope and the cost, and you can change any of them.

Start today — no test from school needed

Upload a syllabus, a chapter, or a unit outline for any subject, and Guru writes a Prep & Practice Guide: short lessons on the ideas that matter most at the grade or class you choose — what each is in the course’s own method, one worked example with the reasoning before the answer, the mistake to watch for — then a practice test in the form the course uses, printed without answers. If you want to check the work yourself, ask for a separate answer key; the practice stays a test. Every lesson can come with a short video lesson made from the guide, whenever you want them (counts as one more guide). The learner works it; you upload the pages; the review that comes back says which ideas are solid and which are not — and ends with the next practice set for exactly the ones that were missed. We call the cycle the Guru Chakra, the wheel of learning — Prepare, Practice, Review, Repeat — and each turn of it is a record of where the learner is.

Your first 3 guides are free — this can be one of them. After that a Prep & Practice Guide is one credit, and a review of the finished pages is priced like any other guide.

Short video lessons, whenever you want them

Ask for video lessons and every lesson in a Prep & Practice Guide gets a short video: a tutor’s voice at a classic greenboard, chalking up the lesson as it explains it, with the guide’s own example and the guide’s own numbers. Each script is checked against the lesson before a word is recorded, so the video and the page say the same thing.

A homework guide gets one on each of its main ideas, explained with a similar example so the homework is still the learner’s to try, and the printed page links to each one.

An illustration. Every real video is made from the learner’s own guide.
  • Watch, pause, go back ten seconds, change the speed, or turn on captions.
  • Bookmark a moment to come back to before the test; the bookmarks are kept for your child.
  • Watch on the guide’s page in your account, or on the passcode link you share with your child.
  • A finished video, like the PDF: nothing to talk to, and no account for your child. Videos arrive shortly after the guide, which never waits for them. In English for now.

Tick “Add video lessons” when you send the work. A set counts as one guide.

Which subjects

Any subject, in any language, at any level — from the early grades to college and adult learners. You choose the grade or class each guide is written for. A course taught in another language gets its guide in that language. Writing tasks — a summary, an essay, a response, a report — have their own guide. The most testing is behind math and the sciences, where drawn diagrams and worked reasoning carry the most weight.

Any curriculum. We work from the assignment itself, not from a syllabus we assume, so American, CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE or IB makes no difference to the guide.

Learning for yourself?

The same guides work for an adult learning on their own — a language exam, a professional course, a piece of writing you want to get right. On your first request, type your own name and tick “This is me”, and the guides are written to you, at the level you choose — college, a professional exam, or as an adult. The rules do not change: you receive a finished guide, not a chat.

Guru Fellows: a teacher’s eyes on a guide

Narrated by Jeremy Gregg, using an AI clone of his voice, with his consent.

What a Guru Fellow is

A Guru Fellow is a practicing teacher whose credential we verified, or an experienced educator whose teaching background we checked. A person reads every application. A Fellow never meets, messages or sees your child: they see the schoolwork you uploaded and a first name.

When you’d ask for one

Every guide already carries the Guru Seal. Ask for a Fellow when you also want a person’s judgment: before a big test, in a subject you can’t check yourself, or when you want to know the guide fits where your child is. A Fellow can review any guide, including a Prep & Practice Guide, once it is in your account.

What they do

The Fellow reads the guide beside the assignment or class material it was made from and judges whether it teaches the subject properly: the method, the explanation your child will read, and whether it fits their level. They can mark any spot on any page with a note.

What happens after

  • Nothing to correct: every page of the guide is marked “Reviewed by an Anveshi Guru Fellow”, with the date and what the reviewer holds, such as a teaching license. Never their name.
  • A real mistake: the guide is corrected and re-issued at no charge. The $24 pays for the teacher's time, so it stays paid either way.
  • A smaller note, like clearer wording: we make the change and re-issue the guide.
  • We don't promise a time, because a review waits for a teacher to pick it up. The guide's page shows when a Fellow has started, and the guide is yours to use the whole time.

How to ask

Open the guide in your account. At the bottom of its page, choose "Request a Guru Fellow review" and pay $24 at checkout. One review per guide.

Just one question? On the guide's page, mark it and choose "Ask a teacher": a Guru Fellow reads that question beside the assignment and writes back to you, for $9.

What we do with your child’s work

Your guides stay until you delete them. They’re yours; they don’t expire.

The work you upload is deleted after 90 days. Scans of your child’s schoolwork are the most sensitive thing we hold and serve no purpose once the guide exists, so we remove them on a rolling schedule rather than keeping them indefinitely. Full detail on the privacy page.
