Enhancing Student Performance through EduMate: An AI-Powered Smart Tutoring System
Keywords:
Personalized learning, smart tutoring system, educational technologyAbstract
In the modern educational landscape, students possess unique learning styles, yet many institutions continue to rely on a one-size-fits-all teaching approach. This traditional methodology often results in struggling students falling behind while advanced learners remain unchallenged. This paper presents EduMate, an AI-powered personalized tutoring system designed to adapt to individual learning styles, proficiency levels, and academic progress. Utilizing a combination of Machine Learning (ML) and Large Language Models (LLM), EduMate functions as a web-based platform that offers tailored lessons, dynamically generated quizzes, and real-time AI conversational feedback. The system features dedicated interfaces for students, teachers, and administrators, effectively bridging learning gaps while equipping educators with actionable insights into student performance.
