A patient tutor that explains anything
Ask Orpheus to explain a concept, walk through a problem step by step, or quiz you on a topic. Attach a saved exam or flashcard deck for context, and switch on Socratic mode to be guided with questions instead of simply handed the answer.
What you can do
Explain or Socratic
Get a clear, direct explanation, or switch on Socratic mode to be led to the answer with questions that build real understanding.
Uses your own material
Attach a saved exam or deck and the tutor answers in the context of exactly what you're studying.
Maths done properly
Equations and scientific notation are rendered cleanly, so step-by-step working is easy to follow.
Quiz yourself
Ask to be tested on a topic and the tutor will question you and check your answers.
Why Socratic mode is worth the friction
Being handed an answer feels efficient, but the understanding rarely survives to the exam. In Socratic mode the tutor asks you the next question instead: what happens to the other side of the equation? What does the author want you to feel here? Reaching the answer yourself is slower, and it's the version you keep.
- Guided, not graded
Wrong turns get a nudge back on course, never a lecture. It's a conversation, not a test.
- Adjusts to your answers
The next question depends on what you just said, so the path fits how you actually think.
- Switch any time
Stuck for real? Turn Socratic mode off and get the direct explanation, then switch back.
- It remembers the thread
Follow-ups build on the conversation, so you can go three questions deep without re-explaining.
How it works
Ask a question
Type anything you're stuck on, from a single definition to a whole exam technique.
Add context
Optionally attach a saved exam or deck so the answer fits your course.
Learn and follow up
Read the explanation, then keep asking. The tutor remembers the conversation.
Made for real study
Photograph of working not required: describe where you got lost and the tutor picks up from that exact step.
Attach the deck or paper you're revising and ask to be quizzed on it until the weak cards give in.
No syllabus, no deadline. Ask how something works and follow the thread as far as it goes.
Get more out of it
- 1Attach the exam or deck you're working on before asking. Context turns a generic answer into your answer.
- 2Try Socratic mode on topics you half-know. That's where guided questions pay off most.
- 3Ask for a second explanation from a different angle when the first doesn't land. Analogies are cheap here.
- 4End a session by asking to be quizzed on what you just covered. Recall beats rereading.

Frequently asked questions
Is the tutor free?
Yes, you can start for free. Each reply counts toward your monthly allowance, and Pro removes the limit.
Can it help with maths and science?
Yes. The tutor renders equations and chemical notation properly and is strong at step-by-step mathematical and scientific reasoning.
Can it use my own notes or exams?
Yes. Attach any saved exam or flashcard deck and the tutor will tailor its explanations to that material.
What is Socratic mode?
Instead of giving the answer straight away, the tutor asks guiding questions so you reach it yourself. Slower in the moment, and far better for understanding and recall.
Can it tutor in other languages?
Yes. Pick from ten languages and the whole conversation runs in that language.
