Final Year Project
Project Title
Ilm Dost: An AI-Powered Socratic Math Tutoring System for Primary School Students
Description
Ilm Dost is a full-stack web application designed to improve math comprehension among underprivileged Grade 5 students aligned with the Sindh Board curriculum. The system pairs a React/TypeScript frontend with a Node.js/Express backend and PostgreSQL database, deploying a fine-tuned Phi-4 language model via LoRA adapters to deliver Socratic tutoring, guiding students through reasoning rather than providing direct answers. The platform supports student and guardian roles, OTP-based login, quizzes across seven curriculum chapters, voice input via the Web Speech API, and engagement mechanics including streaks and badges. A curated evaluation dataset benchmarks the fine-tuned model against the base model using dual rubrics assessing pedagogical quality and mathematical accuracy. The project aims to address Pakistan's learning crisis through accessible, conversational AI tutoring.
