Study help and expert Q&A (live Chegg Tutors closed).

Chegg is an American education technology company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California. It is publicly traded (NYSE: CHGG), and its core consumer product is Chegg Study, an on-demand homework-help and Q&A service offering worked solutions and explanations across academic subjects, alongside textbook rentals and other student services.

Chegg Study works primarily as an asynchronous, on-demand model rather than scheduled sessions: students search a large library of step-by-step textbook solutions and expert-answered questions, or submit their own homework questions to paid Chegg experts. Coverage spans common college and high-school subjects, increasingly supplemented by AI tools. Notably, Chegg Tutors — the company’s separate live one-on-one tutoring service — was discontinued on January 31, 2021, so real-time human tutoring is no longer offered.

Chegg Study is sold via subscription: a basic plan is around $14.95/month and the Chegg Study Pack around $19.95/month, bundling tools such as a math solver, practice sets, and writing/plagiarism tools. The company reports millions of subscribers. It suits students who want fast, around-the-clock answers and worked solutions to specific homework problems rather than scheduled tutoring.
