Praktika.ai

we are on a mission to deliver efficient and engaging learning experiences for billions of students worldwide by bridging the gap between learning apps and human tutors. We have done this by creating a fully automated language tutorship experience powered by generative AI Avatars.

In this fast‑paced environment we like independent self‑staters who can work well in a team as well as unassisted and who enjoy the working environment of an early‑stage startup.
