If Koji were a human tutor and they taught my kid Geometry/Algebra II the way shown in these two demos, I’d fire them immediately. Ignore the shiny marketing and focus on what’s actually happening in these demos. - Koji allows the student to fumble around without a clue for a while. - Koji, then realizing the kids are confused, introduces some test points (a finite selection of what could be infinitely many), without explaining why any of these are good candidates: they just appear. - Students then proceed to test to see which point satisfies the equation - a Prealgebra standard. - But here’s the kicker - the most important concept the student needs to grasp, the reasons why the center of the circle is located at (1,0), is completely missed! Instead, the student just lines the circle up with the test point. But according to Koji, “you got it!” No, you have not. No high-quality human math tutor would ever do this. The second example (plotting the transformed square root) is even worse. Students cannot think with knowledge they do not have! I genuinely don’t like criticizing others who are trying to improve education. But since this has gone super-viral with almost nobody pushing back on these blatant issues, I felt I had no choice.

It should be making them geniuses.
