About
About Revision Genie
Revision Genie is an AI revision platform built by practising UK teachers. We exist to give every GCSE and A-Level student the kind of patient, one-to-one help that used to be reserved for families who could afford a private tutor. The AI supports our teachers' expertise — it doesn't replace it.
Why we built it
A student sits down on a Sunday night to revise. They get stuck on a past paper question. It's 10pm. They have three options: wait until tomorrow and hope a teacher has time, type the question into a generic AI that doesn't really know their exam board, or give up and scroll on their phone instead. None of those are good answers.
The closest thing we have to a fix is private tutoring. It works, and there's a reason wealthier families pay for it. But it costs forty to sixty pounds an hour, and for most households that's not a real option. The gap that creates between students who can afford one-to-one help and students who can't is huge, and it's growing.
We built Revision Genie because we thought AI could close that gap, but only if it was done properly. Not a chatbot that hallucinates the wrong syllabus. Not a notes-dump that students scroll past. Something that actually knows your exam board, marks your answers against the real mark scheme, and walks you through the bit you got stuck on in plain words, at your own pace, as many times as you need.
Our mission
The simplest way to put it: we want every student in the country to have a patient, knowledgeable tutor sitting next to them whenever they revise. Not instead of their teachers, but alongside them. Teachers are brilliant at the parts that matter most, but they can't be there at 11pm the night before a mock. That's the gap we're trying to fill.
AI is the tool that makes it affordable at scale, but the expertise behind it is human. Practising teachers shape how the AI explains things, what the exam practice looks like, and how answers are marked. The technology does the heavy lifting; the teaching judgement is ours.
What we won't do
We'll never be a tool for cheating. Our AI explains and challenges, it doesn't hand over answers without the working. If your goal is to copy-paste a finished essay, we're the wrong product. If your goal is to actually understand the material, we're built for you.
We won't lock the basics behind a paywall either. The free tier is genuinely useful. We'd rather every student have a tutor than a few have a perfect one. The paid plan exists for people who want unlimited use and the extra features, not because we're trying to gate the core.
Meet the team
We're a small UK team and we wear every hat — we write the code, design the lessons, answer the support emails, and pick up the phone when a school calls. There's no outsourced support desk. If you email us, one of us reads it. You can also read our revision guides on the blog, written by the same teachers.

Before teaching, Corey spent years as a software developer on international projects. He kept seeing the same thing in his own students: they weren't struggling because they couldn't do it, but because they had no one there at the moment they got stuck. He built the first version of Revision Genie on nights and weekends for his own classes, and still teaches every week, writing the code himself.
Corey on LinkedIn“Learning is the moment a student stops doubting themselves and starts believing they can do it. Our job as teachers is to help students feel capable, even when something seems difficult at first.”
The wider team
Joel Martin
Data Protection Officer
For everything outside our own expertise, we work with practising teachers and subject specialists across GCSE and A-Level to cross-reference content and sense-check explanations.
How we keep our content accurate
Accuracy is the whole point — a tutor that teaches the wrong thing is worse than no tutor at all. Every part of the platform goes through the same quality-assurance process, led by qualified teachers.
- 1
Grounded in the real specification
Content is built against the actual exam-board specification for the subject, so explanations, lessons and questions match what students are taught and examined on.
- 2
Reviewed by qualified teachers
Our Educational Quality Assurance lead and subject specialists cross-reference material against the curriculum and flag anything that doesn't match how a topic is actually taught.
- 3
Marked against real mark schemes
Exam answers are marked against the same criteria an examiner would use, with feedback explaining where marks were won and lost.
- 4
Corrected when it's wrong
If a student or teacher spots a mistake, a real person reads the report and we fix it. The founder teaches every week, so problems surface fast.
Revision Genie covers 50+ subjects across the major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel and OCR, spanning GCSE, A-Level and BTEC.
