Every student deserves a great teacher and a clear plan.
Merit brings together lessons for every topic in high school classes, AP courses, and the SAT, ranked by how well they teach, with an AI study partner and a learning plan that follows your class calendar. It's free for students, and funded by tutoring, never by students.
Merit AI
A study partner that explains, quizzes, and finds the right lesson, grounded in the curriculum and the page you're on.
Ask Merit AIA learning plan for your classes
Your learning plan follows what you're covering in class and picks the best videos for it, with every quiz and test on your calendar lined up ahead of time.
Exam Sprints
A diagnostic, a day-by-day plan to exam day, unlimited exam-style practice, and a readiness score you can watch climb.
Tutoring help
Trusted tutoring services and free teachers for your subject, with Merit tutors coming soon.
Built with teachers
Teachers add the lessons they trust and write study guides for the topics students struggle with.
Free for students, funded by tutoring
Everything students use on Merit is free: lessons, Merit AI, the learning plan, calendar sync, and Exam Sprint. Merit earns money only from tutoring. Listing is free. Merit keeps 10% of sessions booked on Merit, and nothing else. Tutoring services that pay Merit are labeled Merit Partner, and nobody can pay to rank higher.
Merit is a company, not a nonprofit. The .org is about the mission: free learning for every student.

What is Merit?
Merit is where high schoolers learn their classes, every AP course, and the SAT: ranked lessons for every topic, an AI study partner, a learning plan that follows your class calendar, and Exam Sprints before big tests. It's free for students.
Where do the lessons come from?
From teachers and educators students already trust. Merit sorts every lesson into the course, unit, and topic it teaches and ranks it on how well it teaches. Teachers can also add lessons and study guides directly.
How does calendar sync work?
Paste the private calendar link from Canvas, Schoology, Blackbaud, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook, or upload a file. Merit matches quizzes and tests to topics and lines up lessons for each one in your learning plan, days before it happens.
What's free and what's paid?
Everything on Merit is free: courses, lessons, Merit AI, your learning plan, calendar sync, progress, and Exam Sprint. The only thing you pay for is a tutor, if you choose to book one.
Which courses are covered?
High school classes like Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 (regular and honors), every AP course from Calculus and Biology to Art History and Japanese, and SAT Math and Reading and Writing. More high school classes are added as their lessons come in.
How is Merit free? Why .org?
Merit is free for students and funded by tutoring: tutors and tutoring services pay Merit a share of sessions students book through Merit, never students. Merit is a company, not a nonprofit; the .org is about the mission, free learning for every student.
