Warrington-based Amit Jain’s startup, MentoMind, is revolutionizing SAT preparation through a unique AI-based learning platform, functioning as a virtual tutor for K-12 students, writes Sarah Huffman for Technical.ly 

Jain, CEO and former computer science teacher, transitioned from corporate software engineering back to education, driven by the pandemic’s impact.  

MentoMind emerged from his desire to personalize education, overcoming the limitations of large classroom sizes. 

With two decades of AI experience, Jain envisioned an AI companion for students, aiding in prioritizing content, managing assignments, and providing answers. 

 MentoMind’s initial version was tested in an Indian prep school in 2021, focusing on standardized test prep based on feedback. The platform, launched in full recently, specializes in SAT preparation, aligning with the SAT’s digital transition. 

MentoMind, while not replacing teachers, aims to supplement their efforts, enabling personalized student attention. 

It provides educators and parents with insights into students’ interactions with the platform. The venture received a local boost from a Bucks Built Fund grant and a $1.5 million seed funding round. 

Jain acknowledges the journey ahead in AI and personalized education. MentoMind’s focus remains on refining its technology for broader educational applications. 

This initiative is part of a broader trend towards integrating AI into education, offering tailored learning experiences to students beyond traditional classroom settings.
