Did you know that 90% of students that improve their grades grow in confidence? 🙌

We asked our tutor community for their thoughts 💭 

💙 Sara tutors high school maths. She tells us “My student had dyscalculia and lacked confidence. But I could tell she was determined, so my goal became to increase her self-confidence”.

Sara worked with her student for several months and, at the end of the year, they earned a grade way above a pass. But the real win for Sara? “My student ended the school year telling me she likes mathematics”.

💙 Samantha tutors English. “What joy when, after many hours of English support, the student tells me that it has become their favourite subject!”

She believes the 1:1 format allows students to regain self-confidence. “By establishing a relaxed climate, I remove blockages due to shyness, low self-esteem, lack of interest... Once the blockage is removed, their ability to understand doubles”.

How do we Balance Innovation and the Human Touch when Building AI Tools? 🤖❤️

Our Co-Founder and COO, Gregor Müller, recently had the opportunity to share with EdTech authority FE News his thoughts on leveraging AI as an educational tool while preserving the essential human element.💡🧠

Curious to know what he said? Jump into the article to read Gregor’s top takeaways in full: https://lnkd.in/dfCCSQxV

1. Know AI’s Limitations: While AI offers personalised learning and instant feedback, it can't replicate the inspiration and empathy that human teachers provide. Good teachers are role models who inspire and adapt in ways AI can't. 🌟
2. View AI as a Pedagogical Catalyst: With a significant teacher shortage, AI can reduce workloads by automating routine tasks and generating personalised resources, allowing teachers to focus on what they do best - inspire and educate. 📚✨
3. Listen to your Audience: Our Future of Education Report revealed that students adapt quickly to new tech, with 56% of UK students wanting to learn with AI. However, only 20% have access. This insight shaped our approach to creating AI-powered, interactive, and immersive learning experiences. 📊🎓
4. Be Open to Change: As AI evolves, so should our approaches. Staying curious, listening to end users, and being willing to adapt are crucial for continued success. 🔄🚀

AI has immense potential to enhance education, but the human touch remains irreplaceable.
