AI Studio
Create AI Tutors & Learn with Them, 24/7
AI Studio is where tutors and agents build and monetise personalised AI tutors — and where students, parents, and clients access specialist AI tutoring around the clock. Create once, earn continuously. Learn any time, instantly.
AI Studio works both ways. Tutors and agents build and publish personalised AI tutors to earn income around the clock. Students, parents, and clients subscribe to or book sessions with those AI tutors — available 24/7, no scheduling needed.
What is AI Studio?
AI Studio is the platform's dedicated environment for custom, personalised AI tutors — distinct from generic AI tools or chatbots. Every AI tutor on Tutorwise is built and owned by a real tutor or agent, trained on their specific materials and expertise, and listed on the marketplace for anyone to access.
There are two sides to AI Studio:
| Side | Who | What They Do |
|---|---|---|
| Supply | Tutors & Agents | Build a personalised AI tutor, upload their teaching materials, set pricing, and publish to the marketplace |
| Demand | Students, Parents, Clients | Browse the marketplace, subscribe to AI tutors, and start instant sessions any time of day |

Why Create an AI Tutor?
Your knowledge and teaching style do not need to stop earning when you stop working. An AI tutor built on your expertise:
- Runs 24/7 — takes sessions while you sleep, at weekends, during school holidays
- Scales without limits — serves many students simultaneously, with no capacity ceiling
- Earns passively — every session generates revenue at the price per hour you set
- Carries your brand — students experience your subject expertise and teaching approach, not a generic bot
- Extends your reach — students who cannot afford regular human tutor sessions, or who need quick help between bookings, can still access your knowledge
Agents: You can create AI tutors on behalf of tutors in your network, or build subject-specialist AI tutors as standalone income streams for your agency. Both routes earn revenue directly to your account.
What Makes an AI Tutor "Yours"?
Every AI tutor you create is personalised through three layers:
| Layer | What You Configure |
|---|---|
| Identity | Name, subject, description — how the tutor presents itself in the marketplace |
| Expertise | Skills and topic tags — what the tutor specialises in and how students find it |
| Knowledge | Your uploaded materials — revision notes, past papers, worked examples, lesson plans — which the AI tutor uses to answer questions accurately |
The more materials you upload, the more differentiated and expert your AI tutor becomes — and the more confidently you can justify a premium price.
Step 1: Build Your AI Tutor
Go to AI Agents → Create. You will fill in four sections:
Basic Information
- Display name — the name students see on the marketplace (e.g., "A-Level Physics Pro" or "GCSE Maths Expert")
- Subject — the primary subject area
- Description — what the tutor specialises in, who it is for, and what students can expect
Skills & Template
- Choose a pre-built template for a quick start — templates pre-populate skills, description, and suggested pricing based on common subjects
- Or select Custom and add your own skill tags (e.g., "Calculus", "Organic Chemistry", "Essay Technique")
- Skills are how students search and filter — be specific
Pricing
- Set your price per hour (£5–£100)
- Research comparable AI tutors in the marketplace to position competitively
- You can update pricing at any time from your AI tutor's edit page
Once you submit, your AI tutor is saved in draft status and you will be taken to the detail page to continue setup.
Step 2: Upload Your Materials
Materials are what transform a generic AI tutor into a genuine subject expert. From your AI tutor's detail page, go to the Materials tab and upload:
- Revision guides and summary notes
- Past papers and mark schemes
- Worked examples and model answers
- Your own lesson plans or teaching resources
- Topic-specific reference documents
Supported formats: PDF, Word documents, and text files. Each document is processed and embedded — the AI tutor then references these when answering student questions, citing which materials it used.
Quality over quantity. Five well-structured, curriculum-aligned documents produce a better AI tutor than fifty loosely related files. Focus on the materials you would actually use in a real session.
Step 3: Publish to the Marketplace
When your AI tutor is ready, publish it from the detail page. Publishing makes it visible in the Marketplace with an "AI Tutor" badge and "Available 24/7" label.
Before publishing, check:
- Display name and description are clear and specific
- Skills accurately reflect what the tutor covers
- At least some materials are uploaded
- Pricing is set
CaaS Score and Limits: The number of AI tutors you can publish depends on your Credibility and Accountability Score (CaaS). Higher CaaS scores unlock more published slots. Learn more about CaaS →
Step 4: Earn and Improve
Once live, your AI tutor earns revenue from every session a student starts. You can monitor performance and improve your AI tutor at any time:
Track performance from AI Agents:
| Metric | What It Tells You |
|---|---|
| Total sessions | Overall demand for your AI tutor |
| Average rating | Whether students are getting good value |
| Total revenue | Cumulative income generated |
| Review comments | Specific feedback on quality |
Iterate over time:
- Upload new or updated materials as curricula change or you refine your approach
- Update your description and skills to improve search discoverability
- Adjust pricing based on demand and ratings
- Pause or unpublish an AI tutor at any time without losing its data or materials
Managing Multiple AI Tutors
If you teach across multiple subjects or exam levels, create a separate AI tutor for each. Students searching for specific help will find the most relevant specialist — and you maximise income across your full subject range.
Go to AI Agents to see all your AI tutors, their live status, session counts, and revenue at a glance.
Revenue, Pricing & Payouts
- You set the price per session (£5–£100/hour)
- The platform takes a commission on each session — the remainder is your earnings
- Payouts follow the standard Tutorwise payout schedule (weekly, every Friday) to your connected Stripe account
- Revenue from AI tutor sessions appears in your Financials Dashboard alongside your human tutoring income
Passive income, genuinely. A single well-built AI tutor covering a high-demand subject like GCSE Maths or A-Level Biology can generate consistent weekly income with no ongoing effort beyond periodic material updates.

What Are AI Tutors?
AI Tutors are specialised AI-powered tutors available alongside human tutors in the Tutorwise marketplace. Each one is built by a real tutor or agent, trained on their specific subject materials — giving you expert-level help tailored to particular topics and curricula.
Unlike a general chatbot, each AI tutor has its own:
- Subject expertise — trained on curated materials for specific topics and exam levels
- Teaching approach — structured explanations aligned to how the tutor teaches
- Knowledge base — references real teaching resources when answering your questions
- 24/7 availability — online around the clock, ready to start instantly
Who Are AI Tutors For?
| Role | How AI Tutors Help |
|---|---|
| Students | Instant homework help, concept explanations, exam revision, practice exercises — any time of day |
| Parents | On-demand support for your child's learning without waiting for a booking |
| Clients | Flexible, affordable access to specialist tutoring at a time that suits you |
AI Tutors vs Sage: AI Tutors are subject specialists — each one is trained on specific materials and curricula for focused, in-depth help. Sage is your general-purpose study assistant for broader everyday questions. Use an AI Tutor when you need deep subject expertise; use Sage for quick, general study help.
Finding the Right AI Tutor
Go to the Marketplace and search or browse by subject. To filter for AI tutors:
- Look for the "AI Tutor" badge on tutor cards
- AI tutors also show "Available 24/7" and "Instant" labels
- Check their subject, skills, rating, and price per hour
- Read reviews from other students to find the best match for your needs
What you see on an AI tutor card:
| Detail | Description |
|---|---|
| AI Tutor badge | Identifies the tutor as AI-powered |

Starting a Session
No booking or scheduling needed — AI tutor sessions start instantly:

Source attribution — when the AI tutor references its training materials, you will see a source indicator showing which documents were used. This builds confidence in the accuracy of answers.

Tips for Best Results
- Be specific. "Explain how to balance chemical equations step by step" works better than "help with chemistry"
- Mention your level. "I'm revising for GCSE" helps the AI tutor pitch explanations correctly
- Ask for worked examples. "Show me the working" gives you the method, not just the answer
- Use follow-ups. Ask "explain that differently" or "give me another example" to deepen understanding
- Check source indicators. If an answer cites a specific document, note it for further reading
- Leave reviews. Your feedback improves the AI tutor for everyone
Troubleshooting
Q: Can I use an AI tutor without booking? A: Yes. Sessions start instantly — just click to begin.
Q: What happens when time runs out? A: The session ends automatically after 1 hour. You will see warnings at 5 and 1 minute remaining. Start a new session at any time.
