If you just have an individual kid, and the goal is to maximize an individual kid, by far you get the best results with one on one tutoring. This is something that every royal family knew in history. It's something that every aristocratic class knew in history. You have a kid and a tutor, and they're in this very tight loop with each other where the kid is able to constantly be on the leading edge of what they're capable of doing, and they can move incredibly fast and they get kind of correction in real time. You get these better outcomes. But it's never been economically feasible for anybody other than the richest people in society to be able to provide one on one tutoring for kids. AI provides the very real prospect of being able to do that. If you have a kid that's like super interested in something, and they can ask an infinite number of questions and they can get instantaneous feedback, and in fact, you can even tell an LLM, it's like, teach me how to do the following. And you can say, you know, wow, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Dumb it down for me a little bit. Okay, now quiz me. Do I actually understand this? People can just do this. Today. There's this like, massive opportunity for parents, you know, in many walks of life, with a little bit of time and focus to be able to say, okay, my kid's probably still gonna go through a traditional education system, but I'm gonna augment this with AI tutoring.
