Will AI replace Tutors?

Not entirely. Today's AI tools can take on about 40% of the typical work in this occupation, mostly: develop teaching or training materials, such as handouts, study materials, or quizzes. The parts that stay human include: Provide private instruction to individual or small groups of students to improve academic performance, improve occupational skills, or prepare for academic or occupational tests.; Review class material with students by discussing text, working solutions to problems, or reviewing worksheets or other assignments.; Provide feedback to students, using positive reinforcement techniques to encourage, motivate, or build confidence in students..

People who learn to use AI for the automatable parts keep the edge. The 3-phase plan below shows where to start.
