no but current LLM can already almost give 1:1 support and differentiated assistance based on how the student comes.

I'm in edtech building this.

it's like having 1 teacher with 25 assistants.

I imagine that the problem with getting LLMs to do it is 1)hallucination and 2)a lack of training examples of teaching through text. We rarely teach purely through text messages, I think this might explain why LLMs almost never ask clarifying questions or use the Socratic method. But it might be possible to RLHF it into doing that. Can you say something about what your approach is?
