eSelf AI Collaborates with CET to Introduce Custom AI Tutors for Students Worldwide

New York, NY — April 29, 2025 — eSelf AI, a startup specializing in conversational AI agents, has joined forces with Israel’s Center for Educational Technology (CET) to roll out personalized AI tutors for students worldwide. This initiative, supported by Harvard University, aims to measure the impact of one-on-one digital tutoring at scale, making Israel the first country to implement AI tutors nationally.

Key Details:

• Pilot Launch: Begins in May 2025 with 10,000 students in A/B testing.
• Backed by Research: Inspired by the "Two Sigma Problem" study, which found one-on-one tutoring improves student performance by two standard deviations.
• Global Context: Addresses declining test scores and a UNESCO-estimated shortage of 44 million teachers.

Features of the AI Tutors:

• Dynamic Avatars: Responsive, customizable AI tutors adjust teaching styles to individual learning needs.
• Faster Than ChatGPT: eSelf AI claims its avatars respond quicker than ChatGPT’s voice assistant.
• Multilingual Support: Enhances accessibility for diverse student populations.

Leadership and Vision:

• Funding: $4.5 million seed round raised in December 2024.
• CEO Alan Bekker: "We’re bridging learning gaps with AI, not replacing teachers."
• CET’s Tzachi Langer: "This sets a global benchmark for AI in education."
• Harvard’s Victor Pereira: Emphasizes equity, calling it "the right way to implement AI in education."

Expansion Plans:

• Initial focus on Hebrew language instruction.
• Full K–12 subject coverage (math, computer science, etc.) by September 2025.
