The LLMs completely changed education for me. Whether it's math or music theory or programming, I'd rank ChatGPT amongst the best teachers I've ever known. (There are amazing real-human ones too, but it's really hit and miss!). For $20/mo it's totally worth it, way cheaper than tutoring or buying more textbooks. But for infrequent use, probably the free plan is enough...?

I tried MIT OCW but found the videos too long and tedious... it's hard for me to just sit still and listen to videos like that for hours =/ I chose an in-person math class on purpose just to have that real community feel and a live teacher, but YMMV... probably many would prefer the online or async versions instead.

Would be very keen to know more about your learning experience and ideas to make it better. Would you be open to jump on a 15 mins call with me?
Hi! I'm probably not your target audience here, unless you're specifically developing a product that targets math education for midlife washouts, lol. But if you want some rando dude's opinion, sure, I'd be happy to jump into a call with ya. Just let me know and I'll find a slot on your Calendly.

But I think you'd get better feedback from someone who's actually in your target audience/user demographic :) I'm just an annoying grumpy gramps who hates math.
