What Tegore does

Tegore follows K-12 school curriculum to design courses like Algebra I & Algebra II. In addition to working with high schools in the Bay Area to design the best in-classroom experiences, Tegore is developing the corresponding consumer product, a Duolingo for Math. Each lesson in Tegore follows a lesson plan (e.g. Polynomial Long Division), and the content is delivered with voice / interactive visuals, and checks students' understanding by using dialectic teaching.
