AI study help for
International curricula
IB, Cambridge International, Edexcel International and Oxford AQA — the curricula that follow you between countries.
International schools run curricula that are deliberately portable: the same qualification means the same thing in Dubai, Nairobi, Kuala Lumpur or São Paulo. That portability is the point, but it also means your timetable, your grading scale and your university application deadlines may have nothing to do with the country you are physically sitting in.

How the international system is shaped
Lower secondary
Cambridge Lower Secondary, IB Middle Years Programme or a school's own scheme, usually without external certification.
IGCSE / MYP
Typically eight to ten IGCSEs, or the MYP with its personal project, taken at the end of Year 11 or Grade 10.
IB Diploma / International A-Level
Either the six-subject IB Diploma with its core, or three to four International A-Levels. The two demand very different study patterns.
The calendar you are actually planning against
- Academic year
- Usually August or September to June, though Southern Hemisphere international schools may run January to December.
- Exam season
- Cambridge and Edexcel run June and November series; the IB runs May and November sessions.
- University entry
- International students typically apply to several systems at once — UCAS in the UK, Common App in the US, and direct applications elsewhere — each with its own deadline and its own view of your qualification. The scheduling problem is real: a UCAS deadline in October and a US regular decision deadline in January sit on top of the same exam preparation.
- Boards covered
- IB Diploma Programme, Cambridge International, Pearson Edexcel International, Oxford AQA International
Eight teachers, one subscription
They are AI, and we will not pretend otherwise. What is real is the work they produce against international requirements.
Daniel · Study planner
Builds the week backwards from the real timetable. Cambridge and Edexcel run June and November series; the IB runs May and November sessions. Sessions go into your calendar as real events, not onto a wall chart.
Sarah · Subject tutor
Explains what you are stuck on at the level your qualification actually assesses, then checks you have understood it.
Margaret · Librarian
Finds sources, summarises them at three depths, and formats citations in MLA, APA, Chicago or Harvard.
Tommy · Quizzer
Turns what you have understood into spaced-repetition cards and brings them back until you can recall them cold.
Eleanor · Writing coach
Reviews essay structure and argument, and tells you where a marker would lose the thread.
Charles · Citation checker
Verifies every in-text citation resolves to a real entry in your bibliography.
Penny · Proofreader
Catches grammar, spelling and clarity problems without flattening your voice.
Sam · Accountability
Tells you honestly when the plan has stopped being realistic, early enough to change it.
International curricula: fair questions
Can it handle applying to several countries at once?
That is exactly the case Daniel is useful for. Multiple application systems with different deadlines, sitting on top of one exam timetable, is a scheduling problem more than a study problem — and it is the thing that most often gets handled late.
Which citation style should I use?
It depends on the qualification and sometimes the subject. The IB expects a consistent style of your choosing across the Extended Essay; A-Level coursework often specifies one. Margaret formats in MLA, APA, Chicago or Harvard, and Charles checks every in-text citation resolves to a real bibliography entry.
Do you work in languages other than English?
The teachers can explain and discuss in a range of languages, which helps when you are studying in English but think in another. Exam-technique coaching is strongest in English, so tell Sarah which language you will be writing your answers in.
