MyPrivateTutor, a top online marketplace for tutors are assisting pupils discover
tutors in India. The bot 'chats' with the customer posing a sequence of queries
about his studying requirements prior to creating a tailored catalogue of suggested

"Chatbots provide an intuitive way for students to find
answers to their questions and get help. While messaging is almost second
nature to today's youth, we are seeing that even their parents are far more
comfortable interacting with a messaging system than with an app or
website," revealed Sandip Kar, CEO and Co-Founder of MyPrivateTutor.
MyPrivateTutor is based in Kolkata that pairs tutors to pupils
utilizing exclusive machine-learning algorithms. While need for tutors of school-level
topics is at a growth, the startup perceives vigorous requirement for tutoring
in groups for example college topics, test groundwork, languages, programming as
well as after-school accomplishments.
With the expansion of AI platforms like IBM Watson, the figure
of chatbot submissions has seen an upsurge in the previous year but there have
been comparatively few utilized cases in the education sphere, excepting the
odd language knowledge apps.
"There is a huge scope of using AI for personalizing
education. In addition to using machine learning for better matching of
students to tutors, we are also working on building tools for customizing
lessons for each individual student. A chatbot for helping with homework is
also on the cards," remarked Anindya Kar, Co-Founder of MyPrivateTutor.
Pupils already utilize messaging apps like Facebook
Messenger or WhatsApp to create study groups, deliberate on forthcoming examinations
and swap opinions and concepts about their lessons. Chatbots can power this to
make the education understanding more useful and tailored.
