AI tutoring — the use of AI (especially LLMs and intelligent tutoring systems) to provide personalized, adaptive, scalable instructional support: conversational tutors, scaffolded feedback systems, adaptive platforms, and agent-based tutors with long-term learner models. Effectiveness hinges on pedagogical design (scaffolding, feedback quality, autonomy balance) rather than the model alone — see measuring-llm-tutors-teach-vs-solve and socratic-method.
AI tutoring encompasses the use of artificial intelligence — particularly large language models and intelligent tutoring systems — to provide personalized, adaptive, and scalable instructional support to learners. AI tutors can take many forms: conversational tutors that engage in Socratic dialogue, scaffolded feedback systems that guide problem-solving, adaptive learning platforms that personalize content sequencing, and agent-based tutors that maintain long-term learner models. The effectiveness of AI tutoring depends critically on pedagogical design choices — scaffolding, feedback quality, and the balance between autonomy and guidance — rather than on the underlying model alone.
