How does the AI adapt to my student's level?
Kuliso runs dual-axis adaptation — it independently adjusts both content complexity (math, science, and ELA difficulty) and language support (how much native language scaffolding versus English) for each student. After every session, it recalibrates based on response quality, not just right-or-wrong answers. Students placed in MTSS Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, or Enrichment automatically receive appropriate pacing and scaffolding without any teacher configuration.
How does native language scaffolding work for ELL students?
When a student struggles with a concept, Kuliso switches to their native language to explain it — then gradually brings the explanation back to English as comprehension builds. This mirrors best-practice sheltered instruction. Teachers can set how aggressive the scaffolding is per student and can disable native language support entirely for students who are ready for English-only instruction.
What languages does the ESL AI tutor support?
Kuliso currently supports 247+ languages for tutoring, including Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, Arabic, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Somali, and Tagalog. New languages are added regularly based on teacher requests — if you need a language that's missing, contact support@kuliso.org and we'll prioritize it.
Is Kuliso WIDA aligned?
Yes — Kuliso covers WIDA English Language Development standards alongside CCSS (Math & ELA) and NGSS (Science). Teachers can browse and assign by standard in the Standards Browser, and student activity is automatically tagged to WIDA standards for progress tracking and reporting. MTSS tier placement is also suggested based on WIDA proficiency level.
Is Kuliso COPPA compliant?
Yes — Kuliso is fully COPPA-compliant and collects no personally identifiable information from students under 13 without verifiable parental consent. There are zero ads on the platform, no student data is sold or used for any purpose outside delivering the educational service, and all data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Does Kuliso integrate with Canvas, Schoology, or Blackboard?
Yes — Kuliso supports LTI 1.3 deep linking for Canvas, Schoology, and Blackboard, letting teachers embed Kuliso assignments directly into their LMS gradebook. Setup typically takes under 30 minutes. Kuliso also supports Clever SSO so students log in with their existing school credentials — no separate account creation needed.
Can I use Kuliso at home for bilingual education?
Yes — Kuliso works on any device with a web browser with no app to install. The Family Plan supports up to 5 child profiles, each with their own grade level, language, and subject settings. It's designed for after-school homework help, summer learning, and bilingual practice at home — all in the child's home language with gradual English bridging built in.
