The journey
What Are the Five Steps?
Setup happens once, in one sitting, and there is nothing to install. We suggest a parent does it with their child the first time.
About 30 seconds01.Create an account
A few account details and it is done. New accounts start with 5,000 free credits, with no card required.
About 1 minute02.Set the syllabus
Choose the student's country, board and class once. That decides which textbooks appear and keeps every answer inside that syllabus.
Instant03.Open the bookshelf
The matching syllabus textbooks are already on the shelf, so there is nothing to find, scan or upload. Any chapter can be searched as soon as it is opened.
At their own pace04.Work through a topic
The student opens a chapter and asks about anything that isn't clear. Answers come from that chapter in plain language, with the page cited, and follow-ups keep going until it clicks.
After each paper05.Test, then see the gaps
A practice paper from any chapter, evaluated instantly and in detail. The progress report then ranks chapters weakest first, so the next session starts in the right place.
At a glance
How Long Does Each Step Take?
The first three steps are a one-time setup of about five minutes. The last two are what every study session looks like after that.
| Step | Time | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Create an account | About 30 seconds | A few account details |
| 2. Set the syllabus | About 1 minute | The student's country, board and class |
| 3. Open the bookshelf | Instant | Nothing: textbooks are preloaded |
| 4. Work through a topic | The student's own pace | A chapter that needs attention |
| 5. Test and see the gaps | After each paper | A practice paper from any chapter |
Checklist
What You Need Before You Start
Very little. Have these ready and setup takes one sitting.
Country, board and class
These decide which syllabus textbooks appear on the bookshelf.
About five minutes
Around 30 seconds for the account and about a minute for the syllabus.
A chapter that needs work
The one your child finds hardest is the best place to start.
No card, nothing to install
StudyMate is a web app, and new accounts start with 5,000 free credits.
What Happens in a Study Session?
In a study session, the student asks about anything in the open chapter that isn't clear and gets a plain-language answer drawn from that chapter, with the page cited. The board and class chosen at setup keep every answer inside the syllabus.
After an answer, the student can ask for an example, a simpler explanation or a quick quiz on the same idea, and keep going until it makes sense. StudyMate walks through the reasoning rather than handing over a finished answer. See chat with your textbook for more.
How Does Practice Adjust to the Student?
Practice adjusts with every answer, across three levels:
- Basic
- Does the student know the concept?
- Medium
- Can they use it?
- Advanced
- Can they reason with it?
A correct answer moves the next question up a level. A wrong answer brings a short explanation and steps the difficulty back down. Read more about adaptive tutoring, or try the sample test on our homepage.
What Happens After a Practice Paper?
After a practice paper, the student gets an instant, detailed evaluation that shows what went wrong as well as the score. The result then feeds the progress report, which shows:
- Chapters covered and how the student scored in each.
- Average score across all tests so far.
- Topics learned and days in a row of study.
- What to study next, with chapters ranked weakest first.

FAQs
How It Works FAQs
7 straight answers to what parents and students ask before they start.
Still have a question?
Email the team, or read the full FAQ on accounts, credits and data.
Do I need to install anything?
No. StudyMate runs as a web app, so setup is an account, a syllabus choice and the bookshelf. It takes about five minutes in one sitting.
Do we have to find or upload the textbooks?
No. Once the country, board and class are chosen, the matching textbooks are already on the bookshelf, and any chapter can be searched as soon as it is opened.
Which boards and classes are supported?
The supported countries, boards and classes appear at setup. To ask about a specific board before signing up, email hello@supermia.ai.
When does the first progress report appear?
After the first practice paper is evaluated. From then on, each test updates the chapter-by-chapter report and the weakest-first list of what to study next.
Can we try it before signing up?
Yes. The sample test on our homepage runs a short set of questions at rising difficulty, with no account needed.
Does it just give my child the answers?
No. StudyMate walks through the reasoning and then checks understanding with a quiz or a practice paper, rather than handing over finished answers.
What does it cost to start?
New accounts start with 5,000 free credits, with no card required. To find out what happens after the free credits run out, email hello@supermia.ai.
