What it is
StudyBru provides AI tutoring for students, with content aligned to CAPS, IEB and Cambridge curricula. It covers all subjects for Grades 4–12 across those curricula. Students can type in a problem or upload a photo to receive step-by-step explanations. Its 28 specialised AI tutors cover academic subjects, study skills, wellness and life skills. StudyBru supports more than 50 languages, including all 11 official South African languages, and says English and Afrikaans provide the best experience. It remembers a learner’s grade, subjects and goals and adapts its teaching style over time. Tutoring is described as available 24/7, and text-based chat is designed for mobile data and slower connections. The service is free while in beta, with no credit card required. It is available on Android, iOS and the web, and is headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa. School-specific tutors and classrooms are described as coming soon, with a waitlist for schools.
