Kyron isn’t just another video lesson platform. Students can learn interactively anytime, anywhere with expert teachers of their choice. In a Kyron video, teachers ask questions to students to gauge their understanding of a topic. Using conversational AI, Kyron provides immediate one-on-one differentiated support with pre-recorded teacher responses to guide students to conceptual understanding.
How Kyron Works
Learning starts in the classroom! Teachers identify topics where students need more practice. Students come to Kyron to review video lessons one-on-one with a teacher of their choice.
1
Kyron’s teacher introduces themself, shares the goal of the lesson, how it’s used in real life, and checks the student’s familiarity with the topic.
Students speak or write their responses to prompts as Kyron’s teacher walks through each concept. If they need more help, the teacher dives deeper. When students demonstrate understanding, the lesson moves on.

At the end of each lesson, Kyron’s teacher checks in with the student, reviews what they’ve learned and celebrates their accomplishments. Kyron shares student progress with the classroom teacher, highlighting areas for further practice.
How We’re Different
One-on-one Interactive Videos
Students thrive when they can connect with a teacher and get in-the-moment feedback. In our video lessons, Kyron’s conversational AI lets students speak or write to a teacher and receive thoughtful responses.
Expert Teachers
Students pick from a library of teachers that combine their knowledge of typical responses and common misperceptions with proven strategies to prompt and guide students to conceptual understanding and mastery.
Empathy & Kindness
Kyron’s prompts are created by our teachers who know when and where students need kindness and encouragement. Unlike generative AI, Kyron’s conversational AI uses machine learning to understand student responses and choose the appropriate pre-recorded teacher prompts.
Conceptual & Applied
Kyron lessons focus on collaborative learning, conceptual understanding and real-world application. We believe that students master topics by understanding the process of how things work, not through rote memorization.
Safe Space to Make Mistakes!
Kyron’s teachers encourage students to strengthen their thinking muscles. We see mistakes as valuable learning opportunities!
