πŸ‘©β€πŸ« Teachers

What is the AI Copilot for teachers?

The AI Copilot helps teachers save time on administrative work:

Report cards can be exported as PDF.

Can I use AppAcademia as an independent teacher/tutor?

Yes! Independent teachers can sign up without a school and use the AI Copilot to create lesson plans and assessments. Your dashboard focuses on AI-powered content creation and personal teaching resources rather than school administration features like attendance or report cards.

How do I communicate with parents?
