How we count school communities
Based on self-reported school names matched against Australia’s official school registry and deduplicated by parent-school identifier. Ambiguous and unverified entries excluded. These verified database figures describe reach and usage, not causal academic, wellbeing or teacher-workload outcomes. “Represented” means student presence, not a customer, partner, endorsement or formal school rollout.

100% HHD SAC
“I was sooo behind with content and studying for my SACs at the start of the year, but Tutorbear helped sooo muchhhh — I actually got a 100% on my last HHD SAC! I love using Polarbear AI. It’s so good. Thank you so much for making such a good study tool!”
HHD + lecture recording
“I am in Year 10 at the moment doing HHD 1/2 and maths pre-Methods. I LOVEEE the Polarbear website, as it has helped me so much and I get a lot of use out of the feature where you can record your lectures.”
English + Biology
“Polarbear has immensely helped me in English and Biology. I thought it was just an essay marker, then I leveraged Exam Cram for Bio — the subject I struggled with most — as well as perfecting my creative writing.”
Whole platform
“This is such a nice email with amazing tips! I just wanted to say Polarbear is such an amazing platform, and I definitely appreciate the work you all have been doing.”
VCAA marking
“Very helpful — it marks according to VCAA, which gives students an idea of where they’re at.”
Staying focused
“Thank you for all your lovely emails throughout the year — they always remind me to refocus.”
Written responses
“I absolutely love Polarbear! Having my written responses marked is incredible, as I rarely get accurate results when I grade my own work. I also really appreciate the targeted questions, which let me focus on the areas where I need the most help.”
Exam Cram
“The feedback given back for short-answer questions is so specific and detailed — extremely helpful, not just a few vague points like other AI websites.”
Latin
“I’ve been using Tutorbear for my Latin studies and it’s helping a lot! I was wondering whether having Latin mock exams could be a possibility? Thanks so much!”
Used across the year level
“Thank you! So appreciated. I love Polar, and so do people in my grade — it is a lifesaver.”
Tutorbear
“I am loving Polarbear as a whole. I mainly use Tutorbear as a substitute for ChatGPT, and it is way better than it too.”
Essay improvement
“You guys have really helped me with improving my essays, so thank you.”
Beyond Year 12
“I love what was done with the holiday mode and resume and career-letter features. It makes the platform have a lot more use, and the university mode is great too — it gives VCE students who are done this year a reason to continue using it.”
94% Health SAC
“Polarbear has been a great help, especially when understanding how to format responses to ensure full marks! I just got a 94% on Health because of this, so thank you. You guys are doing great, and these emails are really considerate.”
English Language
“I absolutely love Polarbear for marking my English Language essay. I was wondering if you could drop some practice exams for EngLang as well? That’d be truly incredible.”
VCAA aligned
“I love how you tailor everything to the case study and VCAA and give honest marking and don’t sugar coat everything.”
Targeted lessons + questions
“I’ve been loving using this site for random lessons in content I can’t quite grasp, and then following up with ten questions to lock in my understanding.”
Exam Cram
“This platform is amazing — thank you so much for creating it. For Exam Cram, I appreciate how our recent feedback has been reviewed, including having specific topics to study.”
Study rooms
“This website is adorable! I love all the features it has, especially the study rooms.”
Listening notes
“I really like Polarbear! I really like the listening feature that spits out notes.”
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Polarbear is a supplementary study tool. It can help a student practise, organise material and get feedback between classes, but important academic decisions and AI-generated answers should still be checked with trusted teaching material or an educator.
