homework helper
Academic assistance source
A homework helper is a person, resource, or tool that assists students with schoolwork.
The term covers tutors, study guides, websites, and AI assistants that answer questions or explain concepts.
Parents and older siblings often serve as homework helpers.
The phrase sometimes carries a slightly dismissive tone when applied to technology, suggesting the tool does the work rather than teaching: Students are using AI as a homework helper instead of actually learning the material.
