TeacherZero · Student progress and targeted practice

Practice for what each student needs next.

I’m building TeacherZero to connect student progress with targeted worksheets: practice based on what a student needs to learn, with teachers in control of the final questions.

Start with the student, not a blank worksheet

A class can cover the same material without every student needing the same practice. TeacherZero tracks how each student is doing in school: what they have learned, what they have not yet understood, and where they struggle.

That progress guides what goes into the next worksheet, so practice focuses on the topics where the student needs more help.

Turn learning needs into questions worth asking

The teacher can bring in teaching material from a file, a textbook photo, or pasted notes, or choose curriculum topics. A model exam can guide the format, while the student’s learning needs guide the topics to practise.

Choose the question types and counts

Before generation, the teacher chooses the question types, sets how many of each to include, and adjusts the difficulty. That makes the balance of the worksheet a teaching decision rather than something left entirely to the model.

Review questions as they are generated

Questions appear one by one as the draft is generated. Type, topic, and difficulty labels make it easier to check whether the emerging worksheet matches the intended practice before moving into detailed editing.

Keep the teacher in control of the final questions

A worksheet can be nearly right and still need work. Teachers can rewrite a sentence, change the marks, adjust the answer space, or ask AI for a harder question, an easier one, or a different variation. There is no need to regenerate the whole sheet and lose the questions that already work.

Direct editing stays available alongside the AI controls. Broader changes can be requested conversationally, and AI edits can be undone. I designed the difficulty controls so “harder” asks for more reasoning, not more complicated vocabulary.

When the questions are ready, the teacher can assign the worksheet online or export a print-ready PDF.

From worksheets to ongoing student support

An earlier version secured a school contract for generated worksheets. I now lead product direction and AI features for the broader student-progress and practice platform, with frontend and infrastructure collaborators.
