Mitch: AI-Tutor

Learning support anywhere, anytime at no cost to learners.

I built an AI chatbot that mirrors my teaching style as an expert economics teacher. Students can ask it questions anytime, getting personalised help outside of class. This on-demand support has significantly boosted understanding and engagement. Average test scores have jumped 17%, and student feedback is overwhelmingly positive. Students love the ability to get instant clarification and support.

I hope my innovation sparks a shift towards greater personalised support in education. I envision a future where every student has access to a tireless, adaptive tutor that understands their unique needs and learning style. This can bridge gaps caused by limited class time and expensive private tutoring, making high-quality learning support accessible to all, regardless of background.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

I created this innovation because I saw my economics students struggle to get the personalised support they needed, especially outside of class. Private tutors are expensive, and not everyone can afford them. Understanding economics often requires tailored explanations and timely feedback, which I couldn't always provide as a single teacher. Mitch bridges that gap and solves the problem.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

My innovation takes the form of an AI-powered chatbot, trained on my teaching resources, explanations, and the common questions I receive from economics students. Students leverage it for timely support in several ways:

In-Class Clarification: During class, if a student gets confused about a concept, they can discreetly message the chatbot. It provides a quick, personalised explanation, even with examples, preventing them from feeling lost.

Homework Helper: When tackling homework, students can ask for definitions, example problems, or clarification on instructions. The chatbot becomes a virtual study buddy, offering on-demand guidance.

Independent Revision: As students prepare for exams, they can use the chatbot to review topics, get practice problems, and test their understanding.

"Just in Time" Support: The chatbot's 24/7 availability empowers students to get help the moment a question arises.

The chatbot acts as a constant companion in the student's learning journey.

How has it been spreading?

The success of my innovation has been truly rewarding. Not only have my students benefited significantly, but it's also sparked interest from other teachers who see the potential for similar tools in their own subjects. I've been helping them to build similar ChatBots for their classes. While I'm currently focusing on maximising the advantage this gives students within our competitive system, I'm also passionate about sharing this knowledge. I've begun conducting workshops and webinars to empower other educators to build their own subject-specific chatbots. This allows me to contribute to a wider educational impact while maintaining a competitive edge for my own students.
