Hawkes Learning, a leading provider of educational technology solutions, announces the launch of a new bilingual feature in AI Tutor, the secure, AI-driven tool designed to empower students by providing immediate, individualized support with contextualized responses, enhancing mastery and building confidence. With the addition of Spanish support in the tool, we are better able to reach more students by removing a language barrier and allowing students to focus on learning.
Meeting More Students Where They Are
The newly bilingual AI Tutor represents Hawkes Learning’s continued commitment to educational equity and its founding belief that with the right tools, every student can learn and succeed. This enhancement addresses a growing need in higher education by ensuring Spanish-speaking students have equitable access to personalized learning support, a population that represents:
- More than 41 million Americans who speak Spanish as their first language
- Nearly 18 percent of the total undergraduate population
- A demographic whose enrollment at colleges and universities has more than doubled in the past two decades, according to Pew Research Center
Equitable, Empathetic, and Easy
Students simply begin typing their question in Spanish and AI Tutor will automatically respond in the student’s language of choice. Built in a secure environment, AI Tutor provides peace of mind for instructors with guardrails around Hawkes’ trusted content, protection of user data, and prevention of shared answers. The tool understands the student experience and provides a supportive, personalized learning journey, guiding students toward mastery.
“I liked how it provided the same resources as AI tutor in English, making it very inclusive for all learners! AI Tutor made me feel less alone in the stress in that there’s an outlet to help.”
Sharon Kariyev, Student at SUNY College at Old Westbury
Supports More Students
Hawkes Learning invites educators and students to explore how AI Tutor can transform the learning experience and drive student success. Since its original launch one year ago, AI Tutor has served more than 81,000 students and had more than 460,000 conversations. On average, 40 percent of students utilized the tutor multiple times, proving ongoing assistance. This innovative tool represents the future of education, providing a secure, inclusive, and student-centered approach to mastering course material in a technology-forward landscape.
“At Hawkes Learning, we don’t just say that learning is for everyone; we are doing something about it,” said Scott Virkler, CEO of Hawkes Learning. “I’m thrilled to announce this bilingual feature to make learning much easier for such a large group of students. We truly believe all students deserve support, wherever they are in their learning journey.”
