A research study by National Student Support Accelerator highlights the potential of Generative AI in education, focusing on Tutor CoPilot, a Human-AI system that aids tutors. A study with 900 tutors and 1,800 K-12 students showed that using Tutor CoPilot increased student mastery in math by 4 percentage points, especially benefiting lower-rated tutors (9 percentage points). At just $20 per tutor annually, it promotes effective teaching strategies. Despite some limitations in suggestions, the findings suggest Tutor CoPilot can improve educational quality and accessibility for underserved communities.
