When I was a math tutor at The University of Iowa’s graduate school, I noticed something deeply concerning yet common: most students weren’t struggling because they lacked ability—they simply needed a different kind of support. They’d turn to resources that spit out answers without clarifying the underlying concepts, leaving them stuck in a cycle of frustration.
That frustration inspired me to create MathGPT.ai. To me, AI in education shouldn’t just provide solutions; it should guide, encourage, and strengthen a student’s understanding at every step. It should make learning feel supportive and engaging, rather than isolating.
We see the impact of that philosophy daily. With MathGPT.ai‘s AI tutor, students gain an average of 7+ additional hours of structured, supplemental support throughout their courses—time they would have otherwise spent lost in problem sets or scouring the internet for quick fixes. Meanwhile, instructors get back valuable hours to focus on higher-level teaching and mentorship. And institutions can breathe easier, knowing they are implementing AI responsibly while upholding academic integrity.
The results speak for themselves: a transformed learning experience that emphasizes collaboration over mere answers, comprehension over quick clicks, and confidence over confusion.
But this is only the beginning. What started as an AI math tutor is expanding into STEM, business, and beyond—empowering students across disciplines and giving instructors the tools to teach with more freedom and creativity.
I believe in an education system where AI amplifies human potential instead of replacing it. It’s not about taking teachers out of the equation; it’s about giving them the support they need to ignite real, lasting understanding in their students.
Thank you for being a part of this journey—we’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to share what’s next.
