Introduction to Manabie AI Tutor
In response to the increasing challenges faced by learning schools, including a shortage of tutors and support staff, Kawai-Juku One Co., Ltd., part of the Kawai Juku Group, has announced the launch of its newest educational service,
Manabie AI Tutor. Scheduled for release on June 1, 2025, this service promises to revolutionize the way students receive educational support in learning institutions across Japan.
Addressing Tutor Shortages
The pressing issue of tutor shortages has become increasingly difficult in today’s educational landscape. Many learning schools have adopted a self-directed approach to learning, where students engage in study while tutors oversee and assist as needed. However, it has become evident that schools are unable to provide 100% support for inquiries related to schoolwork or university-level questions. Recognizing this issue, Kawai-Juku One has collaborated with Manabie Japan LLC, a company specializing in educational digital transformation (DX), to develop a state-of-the-art AI tutor that can address student questions in real time, 24/7.
How Does Manabie AI Tutor Work?
Utilizing the latest generative AI technology based on OpenAI's ChatGPT, the Manabie AI Tutor allows students to submit photos of their questions from textbooks or practice problems. The AI system then analyzes the image and provides a step-by-step explanation along with the answer. This process allows for an extremely efficient method of solving academic inquiries.
Enhancing the Learning Experience
The implementation of the Manabie AI Tutor in learning schools means that tutors can provide individualized responses to student inquiries on a one-on-one basis. This ability is especially vital for schools in rural areas, where the demand for qualified tutors is often greater. The service acts as a powerful support tool for tutors, helping to relieve the burden of answering questions and enabling them to spend more time on interactive teaching and personalized guidance.
Practical Applications of Manabie AI Tutor
Using the Manabie AI Tutor, schools can differentiate themselves and enhance their offerings through various methods:
- - Promote the ability to handle any type of question to set themselves apart from competitors.
- - Integrate structured test preparation sessions that utilize the AI tutor.
- - Shift the responsibility for answering inquiries to the AI, freeing up staff to expand course offerings.
