  • Teachers stay in control

  • Designed for scalability + trust

Problem

  • Students felt stuck when AI couldn’t help

  • Teachers couldn’t scale 1:1 support

  • Existing tools felt impersonal and overwhelming

Design challenge

Make AI tutoring feel safe, human, and reliable.

Solution

  • Reduce student frustration

  • Minimize teacher interruptions

  • Provide fast human help when needed

  • Create a scalable system

Success Metrics

  • Faster help requests

  • Higher completion rates

  • Positive teacher feedback

1. Discover

To ground the design process, I worked with insights provided by EduSeek’s UX research team. Using their findings, I helped synthesize findings into two core personas: students and teachers.

2. Design System Foundations

EduSeek.AI had to feel:

  • Warm and encouraging for students

  • Professional and structured for teachers

I helped define a visual language that balances both; using approachable color, clear hierarchy, and accessible components.

Exploring imagery styles that balance warmth, trust, and energy.

Building component system wasn’t just about consistency; it was about creating a visual language that could adapt to two very different user experiences: a teacher’s structured workspace and a student’s learning environment.

I focused on clarity, warmth, and accessibility, ensuring every component felt intuitive and simple.

Selected components from the EduSeek.AI UI kit.

Solving Real Problems Through Design

Problem

Students sometimes felt stuck or unsure how to move forward with only AI support.

Initial Solution

I introduced a quick SOS button to connect students with teachers instantly.

Initial Solution

Iterating Through Feedback

Teacher feedback revealed that constant live requests were disruptive, they needed a way to help without being pulled into every chat.

Outcome

⚡ Faster help
📉 Less teacher interruption
🙂 Higher student confidence
📈 Scales to full classrooms

Problem

Teachers spent too much time creating quizzes, while students struggled to review lessons effectively on their own.

Initial Solution

I designed an AI-powered quiz and flashcard system that automatically generates practice questions from lesson content; reducing prep time for teachers and giving students instant practice.

Initial Solution

Flashcard

Quiz

Iterating Through Feedback

During testing, students said they felt unsure about their progress. They didn’t know:

• how well they were doing
• what they had mastered
• or what to review next

I redesigned the flow to include progress tracking, score summaries, and actionable feedback at the end of each deck.

Refined Solution

Outcome

⚡ Faster help requests
🧑‍🏫 Reduced teacher workload
💪 More confident students
📈 A system that scales across classrooms

Problem

  • AI tutoring had to be safe for every student.

  • Teachers worried the AI might generate inappropriate or off-context responses.

Initial Solution

I added an inappropriate message alert that instantly flags the content, warns the student, and notifies the teacher. It keeps the chat safe, respectful, and transparent.

Iterating Through Feedback

This feature got good feedback, but teachers wanted more control. I updated it so they can manage the student’s AI access.

Refined Solution

Outcome

🛡️ Safer conversations
👩‍🏫 More teacher control
✅ Higher trust in AI
🏫 Ready for classroom adoption

Problem

Early-grade students struggled with text-based AI; many couldn’t read or type confidently yet.

Initial Solution

Added a voice interaction mode and redesigned the UI with larger, simplified controls.

Initial Solution

Iterating Through Feedback

Teachers needed flexibility for different learning styles and lesson formats→ introduced multiple activity types and customizable character voices.

Refined Solution

Outcome

🎧 Independent use by young learners
🧠 Higher engagement
👩‍🏫 Teacher-controlled experience
📚 Scales across grade levels

What’s Next

• Redesigning the B2B landing page to better communicate value for schools and educators
• Designing a B2C experience for parents to highlight trust, safety, and learning outcomes
