PERSONALIZED TUTORING
Looking back through history, it’s common to find stories of
successful people who had some extra help along the way.
This includes personal tutors, mentors, or coaches who
played an important part in shaping their achievements.
The ancient ruler and conqueror Alexander the Great had
perhaps the most famous tutor: the philosopher Aristotle,
whose teachings played a role in shaping Alexander's
strategies and leadership style. The great artist Leonardo
Da Vinci also benefited from personalized tutoring. He
learned his craft in the studio of Andrea del Verrocchio, an
experience that shaped his approach to art and other areas
of study.
Fast forward to more recent times, and there is the example
of Oprah Winfrey who found a mentor in Maya Angelou and
Bill Gates who started learning computer programming from
a personal tutor during his teenage years.
Each of these stories highlights the value personalized
tutoring can bring, but until recently, access to tutoring was
largely restricted to those with the financial resources or the
benefit of proximity. However, now using AI, there are
unlimited use cases for finding a tutor in virtually any
subject. Online tutoring companies such as Chegg, for
example, are working in partnership with OpenAI to develop
ChatGPT-powered software programs to help students with
their homework.
