Top 5 websites and tools all students should leverage on


June 22, 2021

Today, we’ll be sharing a variety of useful tools and websites to help you with your studies. The truth is, there are plenty of resources available for students of all ages to help facilitate the learning process.

Nevertheless, we do not support or encourage students to use any of these tools to cheat his or her way out of studying. It is important for students to attempt the homework prior to seeking required guidance or clarification.

We hope parents and students alike will find some of these tools helpful as we continue to tackle the new norm of attending online classes.

1. Symbolab

Symbolab is an advanced math education tool. It allows users to learn, practice and discover math topics using mathematical symbols and scientific notations as well as text.

2. Habitica

Habitica - Gamify Your Life

If you find yourself constantly procrastinating from getting homework and studies done, Habitica maybe the perfect tool for you!

Habitica turns life into an RPG game with your ‘bad habits’ as your mortal enemy. Completing daily tasks for example your homework or study sessions, grant your character experience and in-game currency.

Upon setting up your character, you can define the journey you’d like to set forth. In this example, we’ve selected ‘school’.

Upon selection, you’ll then be able to define your own bad habits you’d like to overcome, daily missions as well as a list of to do’s.

3. BrainFM

It’s been proven that music plays a vital role in facilitating the learning process. Whether it is to focus or relax, listening to the right music can either enhance the process. On the flipside, listening to the wrong types of music negatively impact the experience.

When it comes to studying, classical music has been a go-to music genre for many. However, Brain.fm has taken it a step further by incorporating science and countless experiments to create dedicated music to help individuals focus, relax or sleep.

If you find yourself frequently distracted by the music you are listening to, then be sure to give Brain.fm a try!

Unfortunately, they only offer a 3 days trial. But hey, there’s always an option to create a new account every three days am I right ;).

4. Coggle

Coggle is an easy to use online mind mapping tool. Although it is not the most aesthetically pleasing mind map, Coggle’s ease of use makes up for its shortcomings.

Mind mapping can be a great way for students to visualize lessons and better remember key learnings. With the free account, users can create up to 3 mind maps that can be exported as in .jpg or .pdf formats.

Do note that with the free account, users will be limited to a select number of formatting. To create a more beautiful mind map, you can explore Canva instead.

5. Grammarly

Lastly, we’ve got grammarly. As the name suggests, grammarly helps correct grammar mistakes and give suggestions on how a sentence could be better structured.

Grammarly offers a variety of apps to ensure great writing regardless of the app or device you are using to write.

We’ve found the basic, free version to be most sufficient for a start. Aside from correcting grammar, the app is also able to detect tonality and offer feedback accordingly.

Overall, the grammarly app is a must-have app for everyone regardless of fluency. Even the best of us may find ourselves making basic grammar or typo mistakes along the way.
