🤖 AI Tutoring (e.g., Jojo AI) vs 🧑 Human Tutoring: Key Differences

1. Interaction & Personal Connection

  • AI Tutoring offers instant feedback, structured flashcards, and practice quizzes—designed to mirror IB command terms and syllabus structure.
    (Jojo AI Flashcards & Quizzes)
  • Human Tutoring provides adaptive, empathetic conversation, creative questioning, and emotional support—something AI can’t match.

🎯 2. Adaptiveness & Context

  • AI excels at accurately diagnosing strengths and weaknesses across topics, automatically adjusting practice.
    (Adaptive Jojo AI Learning Paths)
  • Humans excel at dealing with nuance—understanding why a student struggles, rephrasing explanations, and responding to ambiguous confusion.

⏱ 3. Flexibility & Availability

  • Jojo AI is accessible 24/7 from any device and does not rely on scheduling.

  • Human tutors require scheduling, may be expensive, and availability may be limited.

🎓 4. Feedback Quality & Meta-Learning

  • AI feedback is precise and consistent—especially on IB-style quizzes and command-term phrasing—but lacks deeper strategy guidance.
  • Human tutors offer meta-cognitive support: helping students plan milestones, reflect on errors, and adapt learning strategies long-term.

📘 5. Alignment with IB Integrity Standards

RevisionDojo’s AI tools are specifically curated for IB use—with built-in ethical guidelines:

  • Jojo AI encourages student-generated responses, helping users create their own written summaries and flashcards.
    (AI in IB Coursework Ethically)
  • Human tutors can endorse this standard, check for misrepresentation, and ensure academic integrity throughout.
