Unlimited learning and wellbeing support when you need it most, on your terms
How does it work?
It couldn’t be easier. Log in and select the subject you’d like help with. You’ll be allocated a subject expert (an Online Learning Assistant known as an ‘OLA’), who will talk you through your problem via the live chat.
You can upload a picture or type your question in the chat box and your OLA work with you to find the answer and provide help until you understand and are happy.
How can it help me?
- We motivate and encourage you to complete (and understand!) your school and homework.
- We support your wellbeing with tips and suggestions and can signpost you to immediate counselling support from Kooth if you need it.
- We will help you to feel more confident and in control of your learning.
- We give you more trusted options for help with your schoolwork and wellbeing.
“I really enjoy using askOLA as it makes me feel like I’m not alone with my homework or my worries.”

Who will I be chatting to?
Our OLA community is made up of real people. You won’t be talking to automated bots, instead you are chatting with fully qualified and carefully vetted humans who are happy to support you, 7 days a week!
What can I get help with?
Ask our OLAs anything about English, maths, science and even get support with essay writing. Your OLA will work with you until you understand and, most importantly, until your mind is at ease!
If you’re feeling stressed about your work, or anything else, mention it to your OLA. We’re here to help.
Our community is here to support you through anything. Big or small; we’ve got your back.
Your wellbeing
If you don’t feel comfortable talking to your friends, family or teachers, you’ll always have askOLA to turn to. No cameras, no microphones, no pressure.
We partner with Kooth to bring you instant access to licensed mental health support.
Student reviews
"askOLA is really good! It helped me with my biology lesson that I didn't understand. OLA even showed me diagrams and made
sure I understood. I would 100% recommend askOLA to anybody who needs homework help or even catching
up with a lesson!"
"askOLA is much more useful than google, safari and bing, because you get to talk to an actual person, and even
use a whiteboard, I would recommend askOLA."
"I love askOLA so much. The information provided for my essay was more than enough. The information was not only good, but
detailed and informative. I would recommend 100%!"
