The traditional path—from early grades to university—has long been heralded as the sure way to success. But the rise of AI is flipping that script. Apprenticeships, mentorships, and real-world problem-solving are becoming the new gold standard, and tools like Cotutor.ai and Apna PC are the catalysts. In this engaging conversation between Dr. Malpani and a curious parent, we explore how AI-powered learning will shape the future of education—and why TeachToEarn is leading the charge.
Mrs. Mehta : Dr. Malpani, these days I can’t help but wonder: is school actually preparing my daughter for the real world? She’s bright, curious—but school work feels disconnected and lifeless. Everyone keeps saying AI is the future—how does that fit into education?
Dr. Malpani : Great question! The traditional model treats learning like a conveyor belt: sit, listen, test. But AI is disrupting that by making learning more personalized, real-world, and engaging. Take Cotutor.ai—it’s like having a mentor who adapts to your child’s pace, style, and interests. You’re not just getting answers; you’re building understanding.
Mrs. Mehta: So AI goes beyond video lessons? How?
Dr. Malpani: Absolutely. Research shows that AI-powered tutoring systems—like the Korbit platform—delivered learning gains 2 to 2.5 times higher than traditional MOOC-style platforms, all thanks to personalized, active feedback . Cotutor.ai follows the same principle on a deeper level:
- It models expert thinking, showing students how professionals approach real problems.
- It coaches gently, providing hints and scaffolding as students solve challenges.
- It promotes reflection: learners explain their reasoning.
- It automates practice, offering tailored exercises that adapt over time.
This mirrors the time-tested cognitive apprenticeship model—mentoring by thinking aloud, guiding, reflecting, and exploring—but at scale through AI.
Mrs. Mehta: That sounds powerful. But is this appropriate for young teens?
Dr. Malpani: Definitely. The AI-apprenticeship model works across ages and subjects. For instance, a teen interested in sustainable cooling solutions can use AI to translate complex engineering papers, simulate experiments, and even build prototypes—all while receiving expert-like guidance. It’s immersive, practical, and deeply motivating.
Mrs. Mehta: This is all so impressive. But what about under-resourced families? Most innovative tools are expensive or unavailable.
Dr. Malpani: That’s where TeachToEarn comes in—with their Apna PC. For just ₹9,999, you get a preconfigured learning computer that includes AI-powered tutor access like Cotutor.ai, along with curated modules that go far beyond textbooks. Children can experiment with coding, design, language, and even mentor others—earning accolades or pocket money in the process.
This is more than a device—it’s a portable learning center powered by AI.
Mrs. Mehta: It really is night and day from traditional schooling! And parents don’t need to wait for schools to adopt these methods?
Dr. Malpani: Exactly. You can start right now at home. AI-powered learning is already outpacing outdated methods. Plus, it aligns with new hiring trends: employers in AI and green tech increasingly prefer skills over formal degrees—especially as apprenticeships and project-based learning prove more effective than traditional university programs .
Mrs. Mehta: That gives me hope. My daughter could learn what she loves, build real projects, and even begin to earn confidence and income.
Dr. Malpani: Yes! And along the way, she’ll join learning communities—peers, mentors, and AI—that blur the line between student and professional. This builds intrinsic motivation, lifelong learning habits, and real-world capabilities.
