Students made 5× the progress of a typical school year, based on a pilot of LearnPF we ran from March to July 2026.
- Started below 50%
- Started at 50% or above
On the concept pretest, students who started below 50% averaged 35 and the rest averaged 70, a 34-point gap. On the mastery lesson, they averaged 73 and 79, a 6-point gap.
PF-trained AI. Not a homework solver.
Most AI tools hand students the answer. Ours is our own model, fine-tuned to tutor the way Productive Failure teaches: students explore and fail first, and the AI keeps them thinking.
Fine-tuned for Productive Failure
Our own model follows a Productive Failure lesson from exploration to instruction, instead of a general chatbot told to be Socratic.
Never hands over the answer
It asks students to explain their attempts, probes their misconceptions and nudges them on, so the thinking stays theirs.
Built on our own research
It comes from our team’s peer-reviewed work on steering AI tutors to follow Productive Failure, with a field study in Singapore classrooms.
Frequently asked questions
What is Productive Failure?
Students try a problem before they’re taught how to solve it. The teaching then connects their attempts to the concept and method. Developed by Prof. Manu Kapur, this approach has been studied in classrooms since 2006.
Is LearnPF’s AI a homework solver?
No. It’s our own model, fine-tuned for Productive Failure tutoring. It guides students without revealing the answer, by asking them to explain their thinking and working through their attempts.
Will it fit our timetable?
LearnPF lessons are designed to run in your existing maths periods. Tell us about your timetable in the demo and we’ll show you how a module would fit.
How much preparation will teachers need?
Our modules are ready to run, and teachers can use class analytics to review progress and decide what to revisit.
Does it cover our year groups and curriculum?
Schedule a demo with us and tell us which year groups and topics you teach, and we’ll confirm the lessons available for your school.
