CUSTOMER STORIES
Working side-by-side with teachers
Hear directly from teachers on how Flint personalizes learning for their students and lets them be more creative in the classroom.
"One student used Flint to make a unit test study guide. Another checked homework by comparing their steps to AI solutions, identifying and correcting mistakes on their own. This independence and self-awareness are key signs of deeper learning."

Chaz Cleare
Middle School Math Teacher at The Kinkaid School
"I saw engagement in a high school math classroom like never before. My students look at this AI platform as a safe place to ask a personalized question that they did not necessarily feel like asking out loud or have the time to ask me personally."

Thomas Yates
High School Math Teacher at Graded - The American School of São Paulo
"Using Flint for review for the end-of-unit test was optional, but all but two students chose to use it. Their performance on the test was noticeably higher than in previous years, so what I did with Flint definitely had an impact."

Lara Cross
Physics and Astronomy Teacher at The Kinkaid School
"Students can have conversations that prod their thinking and push their comprehension. They receive instant feedback on their work which is both encouraging and constructive, enabling them to make targeted improvements. And - they love it!"

Sherry Pielsticker
6th grade humanities teacher at The York School
"I tried chatting in spoken Spanish, and Flint could roleplay and understand everything. It’s amazing how well it can keep asking deeper and deeper questions based on the initial prompt. A revolutionary tool for language learning!"

Sebastian Bartis
Spanish Teacher at St. Stephen's and St. Agnes
“Flint supports me in implementing differentiated instruction because I can have students getting feedback on an assignment while the rest of the class is practicing their conversational skills.”

Audrey Lamou
French teacher at St. George's
"Flint allowed students to ask questions about molecules they did not understand or pathways that were unfamiliar. They had a personal tutor to guide them through complex material at their pace and level of understanding."

Cheryl Cossel
Biology and Pharmaceuticals teacher at Episcopal
"Flint has been invaluable for introducing new concepts and assessing student understanding. My high flyers love how they can deep-dive into course content with an AI expert. Other students who need more attention can get a one-on-one tutor."

Matthew Davis
Computer science teacher at Episcopal
"With any other activity, top students want to move to more complex material, and others need more time on basics. In Flint's activities, I can rotate as a facilitator and Flint automatically scales the assignments to each student's skill level."

Jake Kazlow
Computer science teacher at Westminster
“For students that struggled, Flint gently put them back on track. I could do that myself, but not at 9pm when students are reviewing for a quiz. Flint’s AI runs personalized review sessions for me, and I can follow up with a kid if they’re stuck.”

William Heyler
History teacher at 'Iolani
"After finishing our narrative writing unit, I uploaded my editing checklist into Flint. I have never seen my students so engaged in editing. I had initially put a 30 minute time-limit on the assignment, but my students begged me to extend it. Wow!"

Keri Clifford
English teacher at Harker
"After a recent essay, one of my students said that the essay drafting tool in Flint was like having me there throughout the writing process. Flint functions as an assistant for, rather than a replacement of, students' writing."

Stephen Addcox
English teacher at Westminster
"Overall, my life has become much easier and streamlined with Flint. Flint has allowed me to spend less time planning and more time focusing on student interaction and reflection."

Bradley Evans
6th Grade Math Teacher at American School of Milan
"I have used Flint to help students prepare for debates, analyze economic data, and structure essays on global issues. These experiences not only make learning more engaging but also teach students how to use AI effectively as a learning partner."

Emmanuel Cruz
Middle and Upper School Humanities Teacher at Changchun American International School
"With Flint, I can now create one activity and easily adapt it for various needs. Watching students engage with Sparky and complete meaningful work moved me deeply. Flint makes personalization better and easier."

Rira Lee
Lower School English Teacher at Gunsan Dong Elementary School
"I started using Flint last year. I created quizzes for middle school science and math and later made IB-style questions. I learnt that if I add some resources and provide as many details as possible, Flint can create better and better tasks."

Sanjeev Sharma
MYP and DP Science and Math Teacher at Changchun American International School
"I used Flint to review a chapter prior to an assessment. Tthe students could translate the terms into their native language to learn the content better. Flint was also able adapt and put together questions suitable for the students' ability."

Khim Tiam Lur
MYP Math Teacher at Changchun American International School
"From a professional standpoint, Flint's impact on teaching practice is profound. By automating tasks such as document formatting and rubric construction, Flint AI restores the teacher’s focus to pedagogy, discourse, and relational teaching."

Joseph Shannon
Upper School Literature and Philosophy Teacher at Chartwell School
"Watching my multilingual learners confidently explore their curiosities with Sparky, switching fluidly between languages, showed me how AI can truly personalize learning and honor children's linguistic identities."

Lindsey Watts
Kindergarten and Nursery Teacher at Changchun American International School
"Flint makes it easier for teachers to personalize lessons and save time on routine tasks. Students get to use AI more as a study partner - not just for answers, but for guiding their thinking and building confidence."

Somkid Leewan
Educational Technology Specialist
"While I have successfully integrated other platforms for lesson planning and content creation, Flint's student-centered approach is what truly sets it apart."

Phillip Rustamov
STEM, ICT, CS, and Robotics Teacher at the Canadian School of Tashkent
"Flint allows me to see trends in student performance, identify areas where multiple students may need additional support, and set up small groups to focus on specific skills."

Bonnie-Jean Chudzinski
US History Teacher at Notre Dame Preparatory
"My students are able to engage in interactive lessons that challenge them without overwhelming them. AI has made it easier for them to understand concepts by providing immediate feedback, allowing them to learn from their mistakes in real-time."

Rooban Arumugam
Lower School Math and English Teacher at SJK(T) Selama
"I enjoyed seeing my students interacting positively with Sparky in activities and benefiting from its feedback. I was pleasantly surprised that teachers can also supplement the AI-generated feedback with personal comments."

Agnès Pommier
Upper School French Teacher at The Harker School
"Flint AI Tutor helped students with their Problem Statement Development. It helped them by identifying problem identification skills and focusing on data and facts to support their problem."

Anthony "Tony" Cesarano
Upper School Engineering and Computer Science Teacher
"I created a bot using Flint that supports students in reviewing and improving their answers. This process fosters ownership of learning and helps students develop reflective skills—turning feedback into a conversation rather than one-way critique."

John Salgado
Middle School Science Teacher
"Flint makes sure that students keep working on their language skills under proper guidance. Teachers can spend less time ensuring that students make corrections and concentrate instead on creating more meaningful interactive activities in class."

Galina Tchourilova
Upper School French Teacher at The Harker School
"This technology has empowered students to conduct research with the help of AI bots, practice skills through virtual tutors, create visuals for their projects, and enhance their writing abilities."

Vanessa Bolaños
4th Grade Teacher at Changchun American International School
"By using Flint, students are also learning how to use AI effectively. They are learning the importance of effective prompting when asking Flint for explanations in different ways or reflecting on learning by summarising key points."

Richard Strafford
Computer Science Teacher at The British School of Barcelona
"Students wrote and delivered first-person speeches as historical figures. Flint helped us design an interactive activity that supported each student through the writing process, regardless of their English proficiency level."

Kristine Chen
5th Grade Teacher at Changchun American International School
"Students can just explore a passion topic of their choice and can go as deep into the knowledge as they can comprehend. This gives me a chance to see how they think, what motivates them to learn, and makes me know more about each of my students."

Oliver Bernabe
Middle School Math Teacher at Shanghai American School
"The feedback from students has been overwhelmingly positive; they’re not only improving their maths skills but also developing a genuine understanding of AI’s strengths and limitations in a safe, supportive environment."

Dan Green
Math Teacher and Principal at Hyundai Foreign School
"Flint empowers my quicker students to design their own next steps, while others receive tailored AI support. They learn more effectively through AI role-plays, such as simulating CEO decisions, and by tackling exam questions with instant feedback."

Albert Schram
Business and Economics Teacher at Nexus International School
"What’s impressed me most is the nuance and complexity Flint helps me create. When something doesn’t quite work, I can adjust or rebuild an activity with ease. Nothing is lost—only refined."

Patty Gómez
Upper School Spanish Teacher
"My students love being able to interact with the material. They can ask questions, explore topics in their own words, and revisit explanations as many times as they need. That kind of autonomy and repetition is huge for SPED learners."

Ekaterina Vorobiev
Science Special Education Teacher at Livingston Public Schools
"Flint generates clear, shareable reports that I can provide to students and parents before assessments, enhancing communication and keeping everyone informed about the student's learning progress."

Bonnie Geiger
Middle School Science Teacher at Pine Crest School
"I have been teaching the teachers ways to use Flint to help their students' educational experiences: how to use Flint for different subject levels, grade levels, and how students can leverage Flint to help with their own study skills."

Curtis Hegge
Innovation Coach at American International School of Guangzhou
"I help teachers develop assessments in Flint that enhance visible thinking strategies and encourage deeper reflection and reasoning. Even teachers new to AI leave with tools they can use right away and the confidence to try something new."

Kelly Schuster-Paredes
Comp Sci and Ed Tech Integration/AI Specialist at Pine Crest School
"'It’s like having 20 of you in the room.' That’s what one of my Grade 12 IB French B students said after using Flint to prepare for their Individual Oral. Flint became a space where they could rehearse as much as they wanted, without judgment."

Anthony Daoudi
Upper School French Teacher at The York School
"Many of my students seek a challenge, and Flint offers them a progressive path to more difficult content. While we have access to other AI tools, none provide the highly interactive and responsive feedback that Flint can offer."

Katie Robbins
Grade 4 Homeroom Teacher at Shanghai American School
"One student used Flint to make a unit test study guide. Another checked homework by comparing their steps to AI solutions, identifying and correcting mistakes on their own. This independence and self-awareness are key signs of deeper learning."
