Q1. Why do so many parents send their children to commercial tuitions?
Because the schooling system is broken. Schools are obsessed with exams and marks, and parents understandably feel anxious. They want their children to “stay ahead” in the rat race. Coaching classes promise higher marks, shortcuts for MCQs, and the illusion of certainty. In a system where board percentages and JEE ranks seem like the only keys to success, tuitions feel like the only option.
Q2. Do tuitions really help students learn better?
Not really. Tuitions focus on teaching students answers, not concepts. They spoon-feed, repeat formulas, and drill MCQs. This may improve short-term scores but does little to build understanding or problem-solving skills. Students often become dependent on tuition teachers and lose the confidence to think independently. They may score well in exams, but when asked “Why is this the right answer?” they struggle.
Q3. What is the biggest drawback of commercial coaching?
Commercial coaching reduces students to machines for cramming. Instead of helping them master the basics, it encourages them to memorize solutions. This approach kills curiosity, creativity, and confidence. It’s like feeding a child fast food every day — it fills them up quickly, but it weakens their intellectual health over time.
Q4. So how is an AI tutor different from tuition classes?
An AI tutor doesn’t spoon-feed answers. Instead, it helps the student work through the steps until they understand why the solution is correct. This builds long-term mastery of concepts rather than short-term memory tricks.
Tuitions say: “Memorize these 50 MCQs.”
AI Tutor says: “Let’s understand why this MCQ has this answer.”
The goal is not just to clear the exam but to build the confidence and independence needed for future challenges.
Q5. How does an AI tutor give students more autonomy?
Unlike coaching classes, where one teacher lectures hundreds of students, the AI tutor is personalized. It adjusts to the child’s pace. Students can pause, ask questions, and revisit difficult concepts without fear of being mocked or left behind. It encourages them to become self-learners. This autonomy is powerful because it restores confidence — the student realizes, “I can figure this out on my own.”
Q6. What about the role of discipline and routine that tuitions provide?
Discipline is important — but true discipline comes from ownership. When children learn because they are curious, not because someone is forcing them, their discipline becomes self-driven. An AI tutor allows them to learn at their own time, in their own space, without the stress of commuting to crowded coaching classes or being forced into someone else’s schedule. Parents can guide and encourage, but the child takes charge.
Q7. Will using an AI tutor really help in exams like the JEE?
Absolutely. The JEE is designed to test understanding and application, not just rote memory. Many students who rely only on tuitions fail to crack JEE because they never built strong foundations. Our AI tutor helps students master the basics step by step, so they can solve even unfamiliar problems with confidence. Marks follow naturally when understanding is strong.
Q8. Is this AI tutor expensive like commercial coaching?
No. That’s the beauty of it — the AI tutor is completely free. While coaching institutes charge lakhs of rupees, we believe quality education should not be a luxury. Every child, regardless of their family’s income, deserves access to the best learning tools. With the AI tutor, the only investment needed is the child’s time and willingness to learn.
Q9. Does this mean parents should stop all tuition immediately?
Not necessarily. For some families, tuitions feel like a safety net. But parents should ask themselves: is my child really learning, or just coping? You don’t need to make a drastic change overnight. Try using the AI tutor alongside schoolwork. Let your child experience what it feels like to solve problems independently. Over time, many parents realize they don’t need expensive coaching at all.
Q10. What is the ultimate goal of this AI tutor?
The goal is simple: to put students first. To give them the autonomy to learn at their own pace, master the basics, and rediscover the joy of learning. Education should not be about fear of exams or dependence on spoon-feeding. It should empower children to think for themselves, ask better questions, and build a strong foundation for life — not just for marks.
Final Word
Parents want the best for their children, but the current system often leaves them trapped between schools, exams, and endless tuitions. Our AI tutor is a way out — a tool that restores student agency, builds confidence, and helps them truly learn how to learn.
