SkillsTeacher.AI
Learn the specific, underlying sub-skills you need to know for school, work, and the future.
Frustrated by a struggling school system, endless EdTech dashboards, and growing pressure to adapt as AI reshapes jobs and the skills people will need for the future, a New York City teacher began teaching himself the major AI platforms to understand what they could actually do for learning.
After three years of study and experimentation, he wrote a book outlining a very different kind of learning system—one that focuses on teaching skills to children and adults. Then he built SkillsTeacher.AI, a way to identify and teach the skills underneath any assignment or task.
Finally. A learning system built around learning skills.
No shallow chatbot answers. You can deep dive into each skill as much as you want in different formats that include reading about them, videos, podcasts, and more.
SkillsTeacher.AI is built around more than 10,000 skills and a growing library of lessons, explanations, practice, and learning resources.
The goal is simple: find the skill behind the problem. Teach it clearly. Build the ability to handle the next challenge with less help.Don’t become dependent on the machines. Use the machines to build your independence.
What is it?
SkillsTeacher.AI is for helping people figure out what subskills are underneath a difficult task or problem, and then linking them to pre-made resources that we have carefully generated to deep-dive and teach you each sub-skill. So whatever problem, situation, document, assignment, lesson plan, homework, photo, whatever—just upload it and you’'ll get the skills and it’s learning resources.
What Problems Does it Help Solve?
It helps almost anyone, so maybe it depends on who you are:
-
Do you think your students lack basic skills?
Have you ever looked at a student’s assignment, and had absolutely no idea where to start?
Have you had students so far behind that they need their own support system just for them?
Has a principal ever packed students with IEPs in your classroom with very little support and expected everyone to move up three grade levels?
Did students getting left behind in your class but they are getting promoted anyway?
Do you wish you could leverage parents could help more somehow?
Does your principal want you to incorporate literacy, but you teach science, math, or music?
-
Have you ever had the deep-seated need for someone to just give you a simple explanation of something?
Have you ever thought you were “bad at math,” “bad at writing,” “bad at reading,” or “just not smart” when maybe you were missing one smaller skill nobody had identified?
Are you taking an AP or advanced class with a teacher who can’t explain everything in a way that works for you—but you also don’t want some stupid chatbot doing the work for you?
Have you ever wished someone could tell you exactly what you need to learn first instead of making you start the entire subject over again?
Have you ever been told to “try harder” when you genuinely had no idea what you were supposed to do next?
Have you ever understood most of something but gotten stuck because you were missing one earlier skill?
Has a teacher ever been impatient with you, embarrassed you, or let their personality get in the way so much that you eventually stopped liking the subject?
Have you ever thought you were bad at a subject when maybe nobody had ever explained it in a way that worked for you?
Have you ever had someone explain the same thing again, almost exactly the same way, as though repeating it would magically make you understand?
Have you ever wanted help understanding something without having someone simply give you the answer?
Have you ever had a teacher explain something and still had absolutely no idea what they were talking about?
Have you ever missed school, come back, and felt like everyone else had moved on without you?
-
Have you ever heard your child say, “I’m just bad at math,” “I can’t read,” “I’m stupid,” or “I’m just not good at school”?
Have you ever wondered whether your child actually couldn’t do something—or whether they were simply missing one of the skills underneath it?
Have you ever watched your child spend hours on homework they clearly didn’t understand?
Have you ever been given a test score, grade, or progress report that told you your child was struggling without telling you what they actually needed to learn next?
Has your child ever missed school and then gotten buried under make-up work with little to no support from the school?
Have you ever wished you could understand the skill your child was learning without having to become a teacher yourself?
Have you ever left a parent-teacher meeting knowing your child was “below level” but still not knowing what you were supposed to do about it?
Have you ever looked at an assignment yourself and thought, “What exactly are they asking my child to know how to do here?”
Have you ever tried to help with homework and realized you didn’t know how the teacher wanted it taught?
Have you ever wished you could be more involved in your child’s education but didn’t know where to enter?
Have you ever wished you and your child could learn something together so you could better guide, encourage, and motivate them without interfering or doing the work for them?
-
Are you the parent of a student with an IEP who worries about what happens after high school?
Have you ever wished someone could break those huge goals into smaller skills you could actually work on?
Have you ever wondered what happens when the teachers, paraprofessionals, case managers, accommodations, schedules, and other school supports suddenly disappear?
Have you ever wondered how to teach something as broad as “be more responsible,” “be more independent,” or “make better decisions”?
Have you ever thought, “My child is getting older, but I don’t know if they’re actually ready for real life”?
Have you ever known your child needed better organization, communication, planning, or decision-making skills but had no idea how to actually teach those things?
Do you wonder whether your child knows how to manage money, appointments, transportation, shopping, communication, conflict, work expectations, or asking for help?
Have you ever wondered how to teach your child the things school doesn’t always teach?
Have you ever realized there are hundreds of little things adults are simply expected to know—but nobody ever explicitly teaches them?
Have you ever wished you had a roadmap for helping your child become more independent without doing everything for them?
-
Do you know what you’re doing?
Have you ever faced a situation so complex that you realized it was beyond your current skill set?
Have you ever wished there were a 911 you could call where a SUPER-superintendent would pick up and give you advice like Al in Quantum Leap?
Have you ever wished you could take a complicated leadership problem and break it into the specific skills you actually need to handle it?
Have you ever watched someone make a terrible professional decision and wondered how you’re supposed to teach “better judgment”?
Have you ever had an employee who was struggling but couldn’t identify the specific skills they actually needed to improve?
Have you ever looked at mountains of school or district data and still wondered, “Okay, but what exactly are we supposed to teach differently tomorrow?”
Have you ever watched chronically absent students return academically lost and wondered how anyone was supposed to figure out everything they missed?
Do you ever wonder what happens to the students who drop out—and which skills they leave without?
Have you ever watched teachers drown in differentiation, intervention, paperwork, planning, and student needs while knowing you can’t simply hire enough people to solve the problem?
Have you ever made a decision before fully considering which stakeholders it might affect?
Have you ever bought another program, platform, or piece of educational technology and wondered whether anyone would still be using it six months later?
Have you ever wondered whether all the technology being added to schools is actually improving teaching—or just adding more technology?
Have you ever wished you could get some honest advice about this whole AI-in-education thing?

Who is SkillsTeacher.AI for?
-
I built SkillsTeacher.AI so you do not have to wait for someone else to tell you what you need to learn. You can bring in an assignment, question, document, or real-life problem, discover the skills involved, and follow links to lessons and resources that help you learn those skills. As school, work, and life change, you can return whenever you need to understand or strengthen something new.
-
I’m a teacher, so I built SkillsTeacher.AI to work with the curriculum, texts, assignments, and materials you already value—not replace them. You can teach skills directly with our resources or use our virtual assistants to add background knowledge, annotations, vocabulary, scaffolds, and other supports that make challenging material more accessible without simply lowering its quality. The system also helps uncover the underlying and prerequisite skills behind the work, giving you, your students, and their families resources to strengthen those skills.
-
I remember how overwhelming it can be to look at student work and wonder where to even begin. SkillsTeacher.AI helps you identify the skills underneath a student’s difficulty, understand what may need to come first, and connect those needs to lessons, supports, and assessments. It gives you a flexible instructional starting point while leaving you in control of your classroom and helping you build your own professional judgment over time.
-
I built SkillsTeacher.AI to help educators who are constantly adjusting instruction for students with very different needs, strengths, and levels of readiness. Special education, ENL/MLL, intervention, literacy, gifted, transition, and inclusion teachers can use the system to identify underlying skills, add targeted supports, adapt materials, and teach specific skills without disconnecting students from meaningful grade-level or real-world learning. The goal is to give you more ways to individualize instruction while still preserving strong content, high expectations, and your own professional judgment.
-
School leaders face complicated situations that rarely fit neatly into a single leadership course. SkillsTeacher.AI can help break a staff, family, instructional, operational, or leadership challenge into the specific professional skills involved and connect those skills to targeted learning resources. I designed the system to make professional growth more practical by starting with the real situations leaders are actually trying to solve.
-
As a teacher, I know parents often want to help but are not always told exactly what their child needs or how to teach it. SkillsTeacher.AI can help you understand what an assignment requires, which underlying skills may need support, and which resources can help your child learn them. My goal is to make it easier for school and home to work together without expecting parents to become professional teachers.
-
I know that counselors, social workers, paraprofessionals, parent coordinators, interventionists, and other school professionals face complicated situations that do not always come with clear training. SkillsTeacher.AI can help break those situations into the specific communication, support, planning, relationship, decision-making, or professional skills involved and connect you to practical learning resources. Instead of receiving broad advice, you can focus on the exact skills that may help you handle the situation more effectively.
-
I know that tutors and coaches often have limited time to figure out why a learner is struggling before they have to start helping. SkillsTeacher.AI can analyze the work in front of you, suggest underlying and prerequisite skills, and help you create targeted explanations, supports, practice, and assessments. You can spend less time searching for materials and more time working directly with the learner.
-
I built the larger SkillsTeacher.AI system around the idea that learning does not stop when school ends. A real-life challenge involving money, transportation, appointments, communication, employment, planning, self-advocacy, or daily living can be broken into specific skills and connected to learning resources. This makes broad goals like “become more independent” much more concrete, teachable, and useful.
-
I want future teachers to learn more than how to ask AI to generate a lesson plan. SkillsTeacher.AI gives teacher candidates a way to practice analyzing student evidence, identifying prerequisite skills, adapting real materials, differentiating support, and connecting assessment back to instruction. It can help programs teach responsible AI use while keeping instructional reasoning and professional judgment at the center.
-
I built SkillsTeacher.AI to help connect what is written in the curriculum with what students are actually showing us through their work. Coaches and curriculum leaders can analyze assignments, texts, assessments, and student evidence together to identify prerequisite skills, possible gaps, and places where teachers may need stronger supports or instructional resources. This creates a more concrete way to help teachers make decisions based on evidence rather than simply telling them to differentiate, reteach, or provide more support.
-
I believe people should be able to learn the skills they need when life actually requires them, not only when they happen to be enrolled in a course. SkillsTeacher.AI lets you bring in a real-life, educational, or workplace challenge, identify the skills underneath it, and connect directly to resources that help you understand and build those skills. Whether the need involves communication, organization, decision-making, writing, work, independence, or something entirely new, the system gives you a way to keep learning throughout your life.
