Sixteen years of teaching one student at a time.
AP Guru has tutored more than ten thousand students for the SAT, ACT, AP, IB, IGCSE, and A-Levels since 2010. Learn AI is the newest course we offer — built on the same model that has worked for sixteen years.

Education works best when it's personal.
That's the entire idea behind AP Guru — and the entire idea behind Learn AI. One tutor, one student, in a room together. A curriculum that bends to the student's pace rather than the syllabus's. Tutors who know their subject deeply enough to teach it slowly. We have applied this idea to seven different exam boards over sixteen years. We are now applying it to the most important subject of the next decade.
Four principles. Each one earned the hard way.
01
A tutor with one student adjusts in real time — to the day they had at school, the chapter that landed, the chapter that didn't. A tutor with twenty students adjusts to the median. The median student doesn't exist.
02
Our SAT tutors teach the SAT every day. Our AI tutors have built models, not just used them. A specialist knows the trap question, the analogy that finally clicks, the timing trick no textbook prints.
03
Some fourteen-year-olds are ready for university calculus. Some eighteen-year-olds need to revisit fractions. We meet students where they are, not where the textbook claims they should be.
04
Capstones defended live. Tests scored honestly. Weekly homework reviewed by a human, not an algorithm. No participation trophies. We tell parents what their child can actually do — and where the work still is.
Sixteen years, six milestones.
From a Skype call with one cousin in 2010 to a school for students in forty countries today.
One tutor, one student, one Skype call. A young economics graduate is helping his cousin prepare for the SAT — and realises the model could scale to anyone, anywhere, with an internet connection.
From American test prep into the international curriculum world. The same one-on-one model, applied to a different set of exams. The first students from Singapore, Dubai, and London sign up.
A milestone we mark internally rather than publicly. The team has grown to a few dozen senior tutors. The curriculum library covers every major exam board.
What had been a hard sell to parents — taking a serious lesson on a video call — became the default. AP Guru spends the year scaling up faculty, infrastructure, and quality systems to meet the moment.
Across forty countries. Most by word of mouth. The curriculum team begins designing what will become Learn AI's Tri-Tier framework.
Sixteen years to the day after AP Guru's first lesson, the newest course in the catalogue opens its doors. Same model. New subject. The most important one in years.
Who runs the place.
A small, deliberately unhurried team. The founders still review the curriculum, interview senior tutors, and read the parent feedback every week.
Chirag graduated with a major in Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology. He is the co-founder of education companies like AP Guru and PaperVideo. At AP Guru he creates curriculum and mentors students with test-specific strategies.
Sneha graduated with dual degrees in Actuarial Science and Business Honours. At AP Guru she focuses on employing digital-age learning to enhance standardized-test instruction and create personalized learning experiences for every student.
Anita's experience as an educator and advisor spans over three decades. She has taught and led teams at leading international schools in Mumbai, and leads our teacher recruitment and teacher training.
Why we built Learn AI.
In 2024, parents started asking us — in the same breath as questions about the SAT — whether their child should be learning AI. The honest answer was yes, but not the way the market was offering it.
The AI courses available for high-school students were six-week bootcamps. Pre-recorded lectures. A teacher with twenty students. A "capstone" that was a worksheet with a fancier name. We thought we could do better, by doing for AI what AP Guru had done for the SAT — the same patient, one-on-one, specialist-led model, applied to a new subject. That is Learn AI.
