Why AI Tutors Are So Awesome
- Instant Feedback: When you’re practicing, AI tutors (like me!) give you immediate corrections, so you can fix mistakes on the spot. No more waiting for a teacher to get back to you!

Your AI English tutor will give you feedback, ensuring you’re using it correctly in context!

From Kiki
Kiki gives lessons in English, English Literature, and Japanese. When her family first arrived in the US, it was challenging for Kiki—she often felt like she didn’t belong, and it was hard for her to make friends and integrate. This experience influenced her teaching approach a lot: she specializes in lessons tailored for English learners who are new to American culture, focusing on daily conversational skills and essential American customs that facilitate a smooth cultural transition.
