The co-founder explains why the use of AI in teaching is necessary from the perspective of the Rocket Tutor founders. <strong>Yue Wu<\/strong>:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;To provide every student with a fully personalized education, we would have to clone every teacher on Earth 20 times. That&#039;s why we&#039;re using AI and data-driven techniques to achieve this,&quot; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nationwide expansion plans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rocket Tutor platform is currently open to secondary school students in grades 11, 12, and 13 in Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia and is initially focused on mathematics. By the end of 2024, the platform is to be expanded to cover all of Germany, covering grades 8 to 13. Expansion to other subjects, particularly other STEM areas, is planned for later. All expansion plans are part of the recently completed \u20ac1 million pre-seed financing round led by Caesar Ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic version of Rocket Tutor&#039;s services is freely accessible to all students; a premium account offers additional features, such as the ability for exam candidates to track their progress based on the Abitur format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI as a tool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Will AI even replace teaching staff in the future? <strong>Lionel R\u00fchlemann<\/strong>, co-founder of Rocket Tutor, not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;We don&#039;t believe that AI and technology will or should replace the role of teachers; rather, they should serve as tools to make education better, more accessible, and more efficient. High-quality education should be available to every student. Good high school results open doors for students to more career opportunities and thus to a better future.&quot;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>And <strong>Gregor Unger<\/strong>, Managing Partner of Caesar, adds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;While we could wait on the sidelines for more schools, more funding, or more teachers, Rocket Tutor is taking action by using technology to immediately improve results and boost students&#039; confidence\u2014so they can set themselves on the path to success. We are very proud to be part of this journey.&quot;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edtech startup Rocket Tutor has impressed Better Ventures, Caesar Ventures, and other investors with its AI-powered learning approach and raised one million euros in a pre-seed financing round.
