How Kuliso Teaches Curriculum in Sundanese
Most ed-tech platforms teach about Sundanese. Kuliso teaches in Sundanese. The difference is everything for a student who still thinks in Sundanese.
When a student encounters a math problem, they don't just need the answer — they need the concept explained in the language where their brain builds meaning. Kuliso's AI tutor delivers full grade-level instruction in Sundanese, not just translations of English lessons.

- Adaptive scaffolding: Kuliso adjusts difficulty based on each student's Sundanese literacy level and academic proficiency
- ESOL bridging: For students building English alongside Sundanese, Kuliso progressively introduces English academic vocabulary
- Standards alignment: Every lesson maps to grade-level academic standards — not simplified "ELL" content, but real curriculum
- IEP/504 support: Accommodation flags carry into Sundanese sessions automatically
