eSelf will bring private AI tutors to students worldwide

Israeli edtech company eSelf, which creates AI companions to help students with their learning, has announced a partnership with Harvard University and the Centre for Educational Technology (CET) to bring its AI tutors to every student in Israel.
As part of the pilot programme, due to begin in May with 10,000 students, avatars will provide virtual tutoring, adapting to each individual’s strengths and weaknesses and providing personalised guidance in a language of the user’s choice.
The rollout will cover all subjects from mathematics to computer science, and is expected to cost students around $10-$ 20 per month.
Tzachi Langer, vice president of marketing and product at CET said the programme would “redefine personalised learning for students”.
Victor Pereira, faculty and co-chair of the teaching and teaching leadership programme at Harvard, said the initiative “shows how AI can be used for good”.
This comes as UNESCO’s 2023 report revealed a global teacher shortage of 44 million, exacerbated by the pandemic.
