GCSE & A-level · Year-round, not just exam season

Don’t memorise. Understand.

Every student deserves a private tutor. So we built one.

Homework you're stuck on, a lesson that didn't land or exams when they come. Grounded in your spec, it guides you to the answer instead of handing it over.

What do you want to understand?

01 · The tutor

Ask it anything you're stuck on.

Type a homework question, or just “I didn't get today's lesson.” It asks the question that gets you unstuck, and stops short of the answer, so the understanding is yours.

Maths · Adding fractions
I got 3/5 + 1/3 = 4/8. What did I do wrong?
Look at your denominators: 5 and 3. What has to be true about them before you can add?
Oh, they need to be the same! So I need 15?the click
02 · The method

How it actually teaches.

A good tutor never just hands you the answer. They ask the question that makes it click. That's the whole method.

Questions, not answers

Tell it where you're stuck. Instead of handing over the answer, it asks the one question that gets you reasoning, the way a good tutor would.

Grounded in your spec

Every question sits inside a real spec point: your exam board's scope, depth and command words. Never generic chat.

The click that sticks

When you reason your way to the answer, it stays put. That effort of reaching for it is how memory forms.

03 · The evidence

Backed by the science of learning.

The methods behind every conversation, and the evidence for each.

04 · The specification

Grounded in your specification.

Not a generic chatbot: a tutor that knows your board, your tier, and where you left off.

Knows your specification

Loaded with your AQA, Edexcel or OCR spec: correct scope, correct command words, correct depth for your tier.

Never moves on until you understand

No rushing through material. You advance when you're ready, not before.

Remembers what you know

Tracks your strengths and gaps so every session picks up where you left off.

05 · The four-year arc

The spec resets. Your tutor doesn't.

Over four years you move from GCSE to A-level: a whole new specification, almost from scratch. But the tutor's picture of you never resets. What clicked, what's shaky, how to explain things so they land for you, that carries across every tier and only deepens. By Year 13 it knows you better than any first-day tutor could.

  • Spec coverage restarts at A-level, the model of you doesn't
  • Misconceptions, working explanations and pacing carry across years
  • The second climb is faster: it already knows how you learn

07 · The support system

No one learns alone.

Around every student is a circle that wants the same thing: for them to understand. Orimentis is built for the student, and for everyone helping them get there.

08 · Our promise

What we'll never build.

Most learning apps are built to win your time, not teach you. Orimentis is built for the opposite: understand what you came for, then get on with your day. No engagement traps, no ads, no account needed to start. It's free during early access, and the commitments below are public ones we don't walk back.

No XPNo mascotsNo surveillanceNo dark patternsNo marketing cookies
09 · Our philosophy

Understanding comes before efficiency.

We optimise for the moment something clicks, and stays. Grades are the entry point, not the ceiling; what we're really building is a learning muscle that outlasts every exam.

10 · Questions

Common questions

Is this just for exam revision?
No. It's built for the whole school year, not just exam season. Use it for homework you're stuck on, to catch up on a lesson that didn't land in class, to check you've actually understood this week's topic, and for exam prep when the time comes. It's meant to stay with you from Year 10 through your final A-level.
Is it really free?
It's free during early access, no account needed to try it. We'll introduce affordable pricing later. No ads, ever.
Why not just use Gemini Guided Learning or ChatGPT Study Mode?
They're great general tutors and yes, they'll ask you questions. But they're guessing what your exam board wants. Gemini doesn't know AQA Biology 4.1.1 from Edexcel B1. We teach directly off your specification (correct command words, correct scope, correct depth for your tier) and track which individual spec points you've mastered. When the examiner writes the paper, they work off the spec; so should your tutor.
Is it safe and private?
Yes. No ads, no marketing cookies, GDPR compliant, and you don't need an account to try it. We publish our hard commitments (no streaks, no XP, no mascots, no surveillance, no dark patterns) and we don't walk them back.
