Let's take one step at a time. What happens to 2x + 6 if we subtract 6 from both sides?
2x + 6 = 14→2x = 8
Individual teaching works.
The economics usually don't.
Specialist Maths and Science teachers are scarce. Many pupils in online and alternative education need more individual attention, not less.
Nectarine is designed to close that gap.
The AI teaching layer for online schools
1:1 teaching
Every pupil can work individually with an AI tutor.
Maths & Science first
Start where specialist teaching capacity is particularly valuable.
Knows the pupil
Teaching adapts to prior learning, misconceptions and progress.
School controlled
Curriculum, oversight and educational direction remain with the school.
Technology should adapt to people.
Not the other way around.
Nectarine is building Human Computing: technology that turns what people want to achieve into something artificial intelligence can help them do.
Education is where we're starting.

Building a more individual kind of education?
We're working with online schools that want to explore what individual AI teaching could make possible.
