Modus Ordo

Study sessions with a tutor beside you

Start a session and the rounds are set up for you: focus, a short break, focus again, then a quick wrap-up. The question sits on one side and the Tutor’s chat on the other, ready when you get stuck.

A Pomodoro timer that’s already set up

No fiddling with timers. Each session comes with its rounds, sized to the work and to the time you have tonight.

Rounds, breaks and a way back

  • Focus rounds with a short break between them, then a wrap-up that plans the follow-up.
  • Shorter halves a session; Not now leaves it on the plan; +10 min says what it pushes later.
  • While a session runs, a pill on every screen takes you straight back to it.
  • The Sessions page shows what’s running, this week’s study time per subject, and a grid of sessions to start.

The tutor chat is the main event

Most study tools hide the help behind a button. Here the Tutor sits beside every question, the whole time.

A Methods practice session: the question on the left and the Tutor chat on the right
A Methods practice set, question 4. The chips under the chat are the quickest ways to ask.

Asks before it tells

The Tutor starts from where you got to. Hints come before answers, and “I don’t know” is always a fine thing to say.

Help one tap away

Explain this question, Give me a hint, Check my method, Why does this work? Or type anything about the question in front of you.

Tools beside the work

A formula sheet, a graph and your formula and data booklet open in a side panel, so you never leave the question.

Ten ways to study

Different work needs a different session. Each mode has its own screen.

Feedback on drafts, never ghost-writing

Comments beside your words

Paste in your draft and its headings, lists and bold come with it. Read through adds comments anchored to your text, each tagged with the criterion it’s about, with Accept, Dismiss and Reply.

The comments are questions and suggestions. Nothing edits your words: the work stays yours.

Honest about AI and assessment

Your school sets the rules about using AI for assessment, and QCAA expects assessed work to be your own. The Tutor is built not to write assessed work, and draft feedback is comments only. If you’re not sure what your school allows, ask your teacher before you use the Tutor on an assessment.
