Problem
Many K‑12 students receive tutoring that relies on providing direct answers or scripted explanations, which often fails to reveal underlying misconceptions and limits long‑term mastery of mathematical concepts. Parents and educators also lack tools to monitor how a child learns in real time, making it difficult to personalize instruction and track progress.
Solution
CogBuddy offers an adaptive, question‑driven tutoring platform that engages students through diagnostic prompts rather than giving answers outright. The system records each interaction, learns the student’s response patterns, and builds a personalized learning pathway that targets identified gaps. Sessions are ad‑free, COPPA‑compliant, and available for free during the pilot launch, allowing parents and teachers to view detailed session logs and progress metrics. By focusing on guided discovery, CogBuddy aims to deepen conceptual understanding and foster independent problem‑solving skills in K‑12 learners.
Target Audience
Primary users are K‑12 students seeking math support, along with parents and educators who need actionable insights into a child’s learning process.
