Maths Angel vs Maths Genie

Maths Genie is the free past-paper site students open the night before an exam, and its AI waits to be asked. Maths Angel is a tutor for the years before that night, from Year 6 to Year 11.

The key difference

Maths Angel

AI maths tutor

ChatCat is a personalised AI maths tutor that knows your child’s strengths and weaknesses. Your child sends work over, typed or photographed, and ChatCat replies with the step that slipped, the reason, and the right way to take it.

One wrong line is rarely where the trouble started. Maths Angel traces it back through 500+ connected skills to the one your child never finished, then fixes it: a fully animated 3–4 minute lesson, flashcards to make it stick, and interactive practice with no answer to copy.

Maths Genie

past papers

The free past-paper site most GCSE students revise from: papers, mark schemes, worked solutions and lessons, arranged by exam board. Its AI chat, Ask Genie, answers well when asked. But your child has to navigate it all themselves: pick the right paper, spot their own gaps, and know what to ask. Nothing identifies the weakness, recommends the next step, or guides them through it.
