The Introvert’s Guide to Education

Go to school. Ask questions. Engage in discussions and debates with your classmates. While these study tips have merit, they don’t apply to a niche part of the student population — The Introverts.

For these select few who prefer self-company over others’, simply making it to school, a social space founded on extroversion, is already quite the accomplishment. The thought of asking questions in class and drawing a roomful of attentive eyes to oneself often intimidates introverts into keeping silent regardless of their burning questions. On top of that, the fear of asking “stupid questions” and incurring judgement from their peers may even stump their learning — especially detrimental for students in higher grades whereby critical thinking and active questioning are the bread and butter of the advanced curriculum.

Get Over Your Fear of Asking Questions with Õpet

Enter Õpet, an AI-enabled chatbot that assumes the role of a digital private tutor. Like a Siri for education, the smartphone app self-learns national curriculums and internalises the content, providing students with quizzes, tests and answers to natural language questions.

Introverts can count on Õpet for the following:

Personalised Teaching

Introverts can have their me-time without compromising on their ability to ask for help. The Õpet Chatbot operates on an I’m-Here-If-You-Need-Me basis, making no disruption to students yet always remaining open to answer pressing questions.

Judgement-Free Responses

Introverts can rest assured that there will be no such thing as a stupid question when they’re speaking to a bot. The 24/7 accessible Õpet Chatbot fills the role of a teacher who never judges; instead, students can ask questions in a variety of ways: by uploading a picture of the question or by asking in their own natural language. Once processed, the AI Chatbot will reply the student with the relevant explanations, including helpful links to resources.

Õpet’s aim to make education accessible to all encompasses helping introverts overcome their fears without losing out in school. In this age when education is arguably the defining gateway to future success, Õpet’s mission cannot be more meaningful.
