Imagine a tutor that stays with you as long as you need for every concept of math, instead of the class moving on without you and that compounding over years.

Rather than 1 teacher for 30 students, 1 teacher can scale to 30 students to better address Bloom's 2 sigma problem, which discovered students in a 1:2 ratio with a tutor full time ended up in the 98% of students reliably.

LLMs are capable of delivering this outright, or providing serious inroads to it for those capable and willing to do the work beyond going through the motions.

I remember when I was at the uni, the topics I learned the best were the ones I put effort to study by myself at home. Having a tutor with me all the time will actually make me do the bare minimum as there always were other things to do and I would love to skip the hard parts and move forward.

The tutor is available for you all the time to learn.

If you read the article the other post shared, I think you might be surprised to find it's exactly what you are describing.

I don't think this answers the question in the comment you're replying to.
