The TUTORIN:Grow Project

 TUTORIN:Grow is a joint project of ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig and ZiLL (Centre for Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching) at TU Dresden. The project is funded by the European Social Fund Plus (ESF Plus) and runs from April 2026 to March 2028.

Our goal is to strengthen student success at TU Dresden by further developing tutoring as an innovative, scalable and future-oriented support structure. In particular, the project focuses on empowering tutors as multipliers, supporting female students and exploring the potential of artificial intelligence for tutoring and learning support.

Through the collaboration of educational and AI expertise, TUTORIN:Grow develops and pilots innovative approaches that support both tutors and students in their academic journeys.
