The Purpose of TutoriaLLM

Introduction

Hello. I am So Tokumaru, the developer of TutoriaLLM. I became interested in creating digital works when I started playing Minecraft in elementary school. Utilizing that knowledge, I have been teaching programming to children since I was in high school.

Background

My own experiences played a significant role in the background of developing this app.

Experience as a Learner

First, my experience as a learner. I became interested in programming through games like Minecraft when I was in elementary school, but there were not many opportunities to learn programming at that time. Even though I was interested, it was just a “this looks fun!” level of interest, so I didn’t try to learn on my own. I eventually realized the fun of programming when I was in high school, but if there had been people around me who could teach programming, I might have realized its fun much earlier. I always thought it would be great if there were an environment where I could easily get in touch with programming much earlier. Using online materials might solve these issues to some extent, but it often ends up being one-way communication.

Experience as a Teacher

Then, after becoming a high school student and taking on the role of teaching programming, I also felt various problems from the perspective of a teacher. There are not enough people to teach programming, and even now, when programming education is becoming more popular, I think the demand is not being met. I also felt it was a problem that there are children who do not have the opportunity to get in touch with programming due to language or economic circumstances.

What to Offer to Society

Noticing the increasing performance of AI and the active exploration of its use in the field of education, I decided to develop an app related to programming education, utilizing my experiences as both a learner and a teacher. Initially, I started developing it to solve the “annoying” things I felt when I was teaching as a teacher, but gradually I aimed to create an app that could provide more people with the opportunity to learn programming by leveraging my experiences. I thought that others might have had similar experiences, and my goal is to make the app available to such people as well. I plan to develop this software as open-source and provide it to educational institutions and companies as a foundation, so that more people can have the opportunity to learn programming.
