Channel Tutoring Team · Wed, 26 Aug 2026
We're pleased to announce that Channel Tutoring has partnered with Tripos, an AI-powered study platform that marks students' exam papers against real mark schemes, generates unlimited practice questions, and supports students through the university application process.
As part of the partnership, all Channel Tutoring students receive an exclusive discount on Tripos.
Tripos is a study and preparation platform founded by a Cambridge team. It was built around a simple observation: the single biggest constraint on how fast a student improves is how quickly they get useful feedback on their work. A past paper sitting in a folder waiting to be marked isn't doing anything. A past paper marked ten minutes after it's finished, while the reasoning is still fresh, is worth several times as much.
Instant exam paper marking. Students upload their written work and get it marked against real AQA, OCR and Edexcel mark schemes, with feedback returned in seconds rather than days. The marking is calibrated against a dataset of roughly 20,000 marking criteria drawn from exam board mark schemes and examiner reports, so students don't just see a grade — they see exactly which marks were awarded, which were missed, and what a full-mark answer would have said instead.
For long-form subjects in particular, this is the difference between "this essay felt okay" and knowing precisely which assessment objective cost you four marks.
Past paper and practice question generation. Every student eventually runs out of past papers, usually a few weeks before they'd like to. Tripos generates fresh exam-style questions in the format and style of the real thing, targeted at specific topics and specifications — so a student who keeps dropping marks on one area can drill that area repeatedly instead of hunting through old papers for the two questions that happen to cover it. Generated questions can be marked instantly the same way, closing the loop between practice and feedback.
University admissions tools. For students applying to Oxbridge, Russell Group and other competitive universities, Tripos also runs live spoken mock interviews — voice-based, responsive in real time, and personalised to the student's personal statement and chosen college and course. Alongside this sit a college matcher and detailed personal statement review, covering the parts of the application process that are hardest to practise for on your own.
Channel Tutoring's strength has always been the relationship between a student and a tutor who knows them well. Tripos doesn't replace that, and it isn't trying to. What it does is fill the gaps between sessions — the extra paper attempted on a Sunday evening, the ten targeted questions on the topic that came up badly last week, the essay marked before the next lesson rather than during it.
The practical effect is that students arrive at each session having already done more work and already knowing where they're weakest. That makes the time with their tutor go considerably further.
