From researchto industry

AI will fundamentally change education. One thing will not: universities are hubs for collaborative learning, for meeting like-minded people, and for personal growth. The human part has to stay at the front. We are a team of former TUM students and a professor, bringing together experience from science, software development and business.

The OneTutor team

What we are for

Education is more than the transfer of knowledge.

Good education is interactive, individual, challenging, inspiring and social. Everyone has a right to that.

Vision

Every learner will have a tutor that makes them think, and people to think with.

Mission

We build a tutor whose only job is to make you learn, and we put it in the hands of the institutions that teach you.

What we believe

The future of education is human and AI. Human experts will be needed to curate the AI.

Cohort based tutoring can surpass the level any individual tutor, human or AI, could ever reach.

Learning is a motivation problem, not a knowledge problem. Knowledge has been free since the internet, and MOOCs proved that access alone teaches no one.

Time to understanding cannot be shortened. How that time is composed can be, and that is where effectiveness comes from.

Rolling out AI tutors in education without studying their effects is irresponsible.

Our co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer, Prof. Dr. Alexander Pretschner, holds the Chair of Software and Systems Engineering at the Technical University of Munich, is Scientific Director of fortiss and a founding director of the bidt. That is why the last one is not a slogan.

Our path to personalized learning

We didn't just build a tool; we researched a solution. Here is how we evolved from a simple concept into a platform that bridges the gap between rigid structures and modern student needs.
