Frequently Asked Questions

Is it ethical for a tutor to use AI tools?

Absolutely. AI helps you prepare more effectively and create better materials. Your expertise is in diagnosing learning gaps, adapting your teaching style, and building student confidence. AI is a preparation tool, not a replacement for your skills as an educator.
