AI Educational Materials Expand As Birthrate Declines

What's the Trend for Tutoring Demand and Market?

TOKYO - In recent times, the work environment for "teachers" has been frequently discussed. "Working weekends as a club advisor, no days off," "staying up late preparing for classes," "dealing with children and parents..." Despite the challenges, the demand for personalized instruction, especially one-on-one tutoring, is on the rise. This trend is notable even among younger students.

The Try-Style AI Learning Diagnosis offers a two-choice quiz that claims to diagnose a student's academic abilities in just ten minutes. As AI rapidly becomes commonplace, assisting in work efficiency and supplementing human resources, its limitations are also apparent. "AI alone is merely a tool," and what is increasingly sought after is the "companion" teacher who can guide and support students alongside the technology.

The diversifying needs in education have also led to a trend where students utilize both cram schools and private tutors. This combination caters to different aspects of learning, providing a more comprehensive educational support system.
