Where can I get help with homework without breaking the rules?

Study-help communities that explain rather than do the work.

These communities help you learn the method. Both forbid cheating and “do it for me” posts.

Where to ask

r/HomeworkHelp

Best for: Any subject.

Why it fits: Its public description: “The purpose of this subreddit is to help you learn (not complete your last-minute homework)”

Rules to know before posting:

  • Include your instructor’s prompt or exam board.
  • Title prefix in square brackets with level and subject.
  • No “do this for me”, urgent or last-minute posts.
  • No payment offers or cheating.

r/askmath

Best for: Maths questions.

Why it fits: Its public description: “This subreddit is for questions of a mathematical nature.”

Rules to know before posting:

  • Explain your attempt and where you are stuck.
  • No questions from live exams or tests.
  • One or two questions per day; use the proper flair.
  • No AI in questions or answers; don’t delete after getting help.

Before you post

  • Show your working so far — it is required, and it gets better answers.
  • Say the level (school year, course) so explanations match.
  • Check your school’s rules on outside help.
