Most tutoring tools assume students speak English. Kuliso is ELL tutoring software that actually works — teaching content in students' native languages while building English proficiency at the same time. WIDA-aligned, IEP-ready, and easy to set up.
Generic tutoring software treats ELL students the same as native English speakers. They weren't built for multilingual classrooms — and the gap shows.
Kuliso is a complete ELL instructional platform — not a bolted-on translation layer over a generic tutoring app.
The AI tutor responds in the student's home language — Spanish, Arabic, Vietnamese, Korean, Mandarin, Haitian Creole, Somali, and 13+ more. Students ask questions and get answers they can actually understand.
Content automatically adjusts to each student's WIDA proficiency level (1–6). Level 1 newcomers get maximum native-language support; Level 5 students get grade-appropriate academic English with light scaffolding.
Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies — all state-standards aligned. ELL students practice the same standards as their classmates, just with the language support they need to access the content.
Students get help at home in their native language, 24/7. Families who don't speak English can see what their child is working on and feel included in the process — not left out.
Text-to-speech, self-paced timing, visual supports, simplified language, and bilingual vocabulary — automatic for every ELL student. No extra configuration or separate tools required.
Track ELP growth alongside content mastery. See which students are ready to reduce scaffolding and which newcomers need more native-language support — in one view, without extra clicks.
Getting started takes minutes. No complex setup, no manual rostering from scratch, no training required to see the value.
Add your students, import from Google Classroom or Clever, or hand them a join code. Kuliso asks each student their home language and places them at the right WIDA level automatically.
Each ELL student's AI tutor adapts to their language and ELP level from the first session. Concepts are explained in their home language first, with English academic vocabulary introduced progressively.
Real-time updates on each student's content mastery and language development progress. Know who is ready for reclassification, who is struggling with grade-level content, and where each student needs more support.
Kuliso was built specifically for multilingual classrooms. General-purpose tutoring apps and translation add-ons don't come close.

Most tutoring software gives ELL students English content and expects them to keep up. Kuliso flips this — the AI tutor teaches content in the student's native language first, then builds English academic vocabulary alongside. Students aren't blocked from learning math or science while they're still acquiring English. WIDA-aligned scaffolding and built-in ESOL accommodations are included automatically.
Kuliso covers Math, ELA (English Language Arts), Science, and Social Studies for PreK through grade 12. All content is state-standards aligned and delivered with language scaffolding appropriate to each student's WIDA ELP level. The AI tutor can also help with homework across these subjects, available 24/7.
Both. Kuliso works for entire classrooms — it adapts automatically to each student's language background. Non-ELL students get standard English instruction; ELL students automatically receive native-language scaffolding, WIDA-adapted language, and bilingual support. You set up one classroom roster, and the software handles the differentiation.
Yes. Kuliso is especially effective for newcomers at WIDA Level 1 (Entering). The AI tutor communicates in the student's home language, uses maximum visual scaffolding, and introduces English vocabulary gradually. Newcomers can begin learning grade-level content from day one — no English proficiency required to start.
Yes. Kuliso qualifies for Title III (English language acquisition) and IDEA funding at the school and district level. We provide purchasing documentation and compliance support for district procurement teams. Individual teacher plans start at $2.99/month — no district approval needed to get started.
Your ELL students deserve more than a translation layer. Give them an AI tutor that teaches in their language, tracks their progress, and helps them catch up — not fall further behind.
