Abstract
The present invention is an intelligent interactive tutorial system. The tutorial system includes a computing system having artificial intelligence, which enables the communication in a two-way conversation mode between a student at a computer station and the computing system thereby facilitating anytime one-on-one individual assistance for the student. The computing system provides tutoring on a specific curriculum and/or a specific subject matter. The tutoring includes assistance on problems or questions associated with a specific textbook in any subject matter or other course load assigned to the student. The student may optionally communicate with a live tutor if further assistance is necessary.
