How it works
Five small steps from stuck to together.
- 01
Tell us about yourself
Choose your courses, interests, and how you like to learn.
- 02
Find your people
Discover tutors, study partners, and learning communities.
- 03
Learn together
Pick Teaching, Discussion, or Talk Mode — whatever fits today.
- 04
Stay connected
Message your matches, join Study Circles, plan the next session.
- 05
Grow your community
Help others, earn XP, and build friendships that last.
Smart, honest matching
Every match tells you why.
Course fit and shared free time come first, so a shared love of basketball can never outrank someone who actually knows related rates. No ratings, no popularity scores.

Discussion Mode
Work through problems together and exchange ideas.

- Reflection
“Two students untangle a related-rates problem side by side.”
Talk Mode
Connect casually, share college experiences, and build friendships.

Study Circles
The same faces, every week.
A small group of students who meet regularly to learn, discuss, and support each other. Each circle has a weekly time, a group chat, rotating leaders, and challenges you finish together — so you keep seeing the people who get you through the semester.

Made for OU students
Walking into the Math Center is easier with a friend.
We point you to OU's own support and help you find another student who wants to go too.
Drop-in math help
OU Math Center
Free drop-in tutoring for lower-division math courses on the Norman campus, focused on building understanding rather than just getting answers.
Writing consultations
OU Writing Center
One-on-one and small-group writing support, in person or remote. They teach writing — they are not a proofreading or grading service.
Campus tutoring hub
Tutor Sooner
OU's central hub for tutoring options across many subjects, including math, writing and the sciences. Search by subject to find the right center.
Study spaces
Bizzell Memorial Library
OU's main library, with group study rooms and quiet spaces. Check OU Libraries for which rooms can be reserved and who can reserve them.
“ChatGPT can explain a problem. A tutor can help you solve it. SoonerTogether helps you find someone who will face the next problem with you.”
