I’m working to scale one-to-one learning.

In 1984 Benjamin Bloom described the “ Two Sigma Problem", noting that students tutored with one-to-one techniques performed two standard deviations better than students in a traditional class.

He also dismissed large-scale one-to-one learning as “too costly” and not “realistic".

I believe Bloom was right about the effectiveness of one-to-one learning, but wrong about scalability. I’m building tools to prove that scalable, accessible one-to-one learning is possible today.
