Our Mission
To make complex academic and technical topics understandable, engaging, and relatable through guides written by students, for students.
Break the Gatekeeping
Hard subjects shouldn't feel impossible. Students learn best from peers who also went through it themselves: who remember what was confusing and can explain it in plain English.
How It Works
We don't post random notes. We build series — connected explainers that create learning journeys through subject areas like SAT prep, AP courses, computer hardware, or orthopedics.
Each series builds real understanding with:
- Context and examples — not just definitions
- Pragmatic language — so concepts actually click
- Plain-English breakdowns — no jargon gatekeeping
- Depth over summaries — we teach the why, not just the what
Our Goals
- Make hard topics accessible to everyone
- Empower knowledgeable students to teach others
- Build mastery, not surface-level understanding
- Blend STEM, humanities, and everything in between
- Keep it free and open to all
Contribute
If you're a student who just learned something hard and want to help others learn it too, we'd love to feature your explainer. Aim for 600–1,200 words, use examples and analogies, and focus on what helped you understand. Be clear.
