Mostly, they don't. A trainee gets stuck on one step of a method: why a value is discounted, which rate applies, when one approach beats another. Finding the minute where the tutor explained it means skipping around the video. A general AI answers at once, but with a method from somewhere else, which the trainee then has to match against the one Viva taught.
Customer Story · Viva Tuition
An AI tutor in every lesson, grounded in Viva's own course content
Viva Tuition teaches ACCA and CIMA, and every lesson has an AI Tutor. A trainee stuck halfway through doesn't wait for a tutor. They ask right there, and the answer comes from that lesson. Viva rebuilt its course site on Bold, including the AI Tutor.

The problem
How do students get answers from course videos?
In the lesson
What does an AI tutor grounded in course content look like?
Here is Viva's own example. A trainee in the CIMA F3 lesson on terminal value asks why the terminal value is discounted back as well. The AI Tutor answers that it's a value at the end of the forecast period, not today, so it gets discounted at the same rate for the full forecast length.
Why it matters
Why answer only from your own course content?
Viva's tutors are qualified accountants who have taught these exams for years. Their method is what trainees pay for. A trainee can check an answer from the lesson they just watched against that lesson.
Bold answers only from a program's own teaching, and when the lessons don't cover something, it says so instead of guessing. The tutors still do the teaching. The AI finds where they said it.
