**AI Tutoring & Personalized Learning**
**Overview**
Bloom's "2 Sigma Problem" states that students tutored one-on-one perform two standard deviations better than classroom students. AI makes one-on-one tutoring scalable and free.
**Capabilities**
**1. Socratic Method**
Instead of giving the answer, the AI asks guiding questions.
*Prompt*: "I don't understand photosynthesis. Teach me like a 10 year old, but don't just tell me. Ask me questions to help me figure it out."
**2. Personalized Analogy**
"Explain the TCP handshake using a Basketball analogy."
**3. Feedback Loop**
"Here is my essay. Correct the grammar, but also explain *why* I made those mistakes so I can learn."
**Khan Academy (Khanmigo)**
Khan Academy integrated GPT-4 to act as a deeply integrated tutor, checking math steps line-by-line.
**Risks**
- **Hallucination**: Teaching wrong facts can be dangerous.
- **Cheating**: Students using AI to do the work instead of learning.
AI shifts education from "Factory Model" (One size fits all workflow) to "Personalized."
