The best tutors aren’t walking encyclopedias — they’re the ones who know you. They know which chapter you’re on, where you keep slipping, and how to explain the one idea that finally makes the rest click. That kind of attention is exactly what most students can’t get enough of. Nova is our attempt to give it to everyone.
A tutor that reads what you’re studying
Generic chatbots answer from the whole internet, which sounds helpful until you realise they don’t know your course. Nova is different: it’s grounded in the notes you’ve scanned. When you ask a question, Nova answers using your material — your definitions, your examples, your teacher’s framing.
That grounding matters. It means Nova’s explanations line up with what you’ll be tested on, instead of introducing a slightly different version that confuses you the night before an exam.
What you can ask Nova
Think of Nova as a patient study partner who’s always available. You can:
- Ask for an explanation. “I don’t get photosynthesis — explain it simply.” Nova breaks it down using your notes, then checks you followed.
- Get a hint, not the answer. Stuck on a practice question? Nova nudges you toward the next step instead of just handing over the solution.
- Request a quick quiz. “Quiz me on chapter 4.” Nova pulls questions straight from your material.
- Go deeper. “Why does this work?” Nova follows the thread as far as your curiosity takes it.
Built to help you learn, not to do it for you
There’s a real risk with AI and studying: it’s easy to let the machine do the thinking and learn nothing. We designed Nova to push back against that.
Nova favours hints over answers, asks you to explain things back, and turns your questions into practice. The goal isn’t to finish your homework faster — it’s to make sure the understanding actually lands in your head, where it needs to be on exam day.
Speaks your language
Learning is hard enough without fighting a language barrier. Nova works in all 11 languages SKØØLSKILL supports, so you can study in the language you think in — even if your textbook is in another one. Scan notes in English and ask Nova to explain them in Spanish, and it will.
Always there, never tired
A human tutor costs money and keeps office hours. Nova is available the moment you open the app — at 11pm before a test, on the bus, or during a quiet five minutes between classes. It never sighs at the same question twice and never makes you feel slow for asking.
Try it on your toughest topic
The fastest way to understand Nova is to bring it your hardest subject. Scan a page you’ve been avoiding, open the chat, and ask the question you’ve been too embarrassed to ask anyone else. That’s exactly what Nova is for.
