Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The technology to deliver 1:1 tutoring has finally arrived. Studies show that even having an average tutor shows significant improvement in student scores. However, no edtech companies are building an AI tutor yet, with many companies disavowing the technology's usefulness as it can't create a 100% perfect lesson plan yet. With AI, engagement and substantive learning no longer have to be diametrically opposed. A superhuman teacher will soon be buildable as AI labs continue to improve on accuracy and hallucination problems.
