A convenient alternative to paper
No printer handy? Handwrite it on the iPad.
Real paper is still the best way to practise — it’s exactly how your child sits the exam, and most families just snap a photo of work done on paper. But when printing isn’t practical, they can handwrite the worksheet with an Apple Pencil and submit in one tap. It’s a convenience, not a compromise: still handwriting — not the type-the-answer, tap-the-option exercises other platforms call “digital”.

Open the worksheet on the iPad
When printing isn’t practical, pick the book and page and it opens full-screen, ready to write on — the same questions, in the same order, your child would face on paper.
- 2
Handwrite every answer with the Apple Pencil
They write each answer out by hand with the Pencil — working, crossings-out and all — the same way they would in the exam. No keyboard, no multiple-choice shortcuts that train the wrong habits.

Submit straight to marking
One tap sends the page in. It’s marked exactly like a photo of paper work — ticks, crosses and feedback come straight back, no camera step in between.
Questions parents ask
Isn’t practising on real paper better?
For exam practice, paper is still the gold standard — and IllumiTutor is built around it. Most families simply do the work on paper and snap a photo. The digital worksheet is here for when printing isn’t convenient. Because your child still handwrites every answer, it stays far closer to the real exam than platforms that make them type answers or tap multiple-choice.
What do I need to use it?
An iPad with an Apple Pencil. The worksheet opens in the browser — there’s nothing extra to install.
Does it replace writing on paper?
No — and it isn’t meant to. Nothing fully replaces the feel of paper. But unlike typing on a keyboard, your child still forms every answer by hand with the Pencil, with palm rest and pinch-to-zoom, so the practice stays true to the exam.
