To excel in the field of science one of the core subject a student needs to master is maths, while in Malaysia some students depend on the school and private tuition (which can cost high) to adopt in this area, many still find it difficult and often drop out from learning the subject all together.
To solve this perennial problem, a local startup is keep to make learning maths not only accessible but also fun and exciting. Tupai.ai, a Malaysia-based AI company, has launched a personal math tutor service to help secondary school students master Math and improve their SPM grades.
Notably, based on 2023’s SPM Math results where 52.1% failed or barely passed Math, the company is on a mission to help improve outcomes with the use of AI to teach math.
The platform is a fully autonomous AI math tutor that teaches math through natural text conversations. Unlike the well-known ChatGPT, Tupai incorporates the student’s Malaysian syllabus and delivers original content developed by local Math educators to ensure accuracy in teaching. The system also provides learning recommendations based on the students’ past performance, all the while assessing and tracking their performance and preparing them for SPM examinations.
Edmond Yap, co-founder and CEO of Tupai.ai, explained the rationale behind building Tupai. “We truly understand how demotivating it is to struggle with math. So, our team of educators, software developers and designers worked for the last year to build a system that can help students have fun and master the most difficult subject in school – Maths. We hope that helping students improve their math will also give them a boost of confidence in school.
The mission he said is to empower students to unlock their math potential, banishing the fear and anxiety that often come with math. By offering a personalised and conversational learning experience.
Tupai.ai is currently in Beta and is accessible new users will be offered a 75% discount if they on-board by Nov 30th. It’s a rare opportunity for students to experience the future of learning at a fraction of the cost.
