How does Wild Zebra work?
Wild Zebra incorporates each student’s interests and grade level to generate questions that are personally engaging and relevant for each student’s learning journey. Every time a student completes a conversation, our tutor evaluates how they did and adjusts the difficulty level as needed to ensure smooth progress.

How do I know my student is learning rather than just being given the answer?
The entire purpose of Wild Zebra is to guide students rather than simply giving them answers. The AI focuses on leading students toward solutions through inquiry, ensuring they engage with the material and understand it.

Do Wild Zebra questions follow a curriculum?
Currently, Wild Zebra partners with Test Innovators and the Educational Records Bureau to map each problem to a specific learning standard. When a student masters a particular learning standard, they will move on to the next level as outlined by the ERB. If your school is not part of ERB, don’t worry! You can still use Wild Zebra and know that your students will be seeing questions that overlap with robust test prep programs.

How do you determine mastery?
After each conversation with the tutor is completed, Wild Zebra evaluates the conversation to determine how much assistance was needed. A student will not be able to progress to more advanced learning standards until they are able to solve a problem clearly without needing assistance from the tutor.

How do teachers use Wild Zebra?
Teachers use Wild Zebra in a variety of ways! Although teachers can create assignments for individual students and classes, they are not limited to just that. Some teachers have their class use Wild Zebra for a set amount of time every week, while others might use Wild Zebra as a warmup to start the day. It can be used to focus on a specific learning standard, or pull from several learning standards to keep a holistic approach. Teachers can even input their own interests for students, so students can learn about history or science as they answer questions about math.

How do you ensure the AI won’t say inappropriate things?
Wild Zebra uses layered safety: we rely on the safety systems of the large language models we use and add student-focused guardrails so the tutor stays in an educational lane and refuses unsafe or inappropriate requests.

How is this different from iReady / Khan / IXL / other adaptive tools?
Unlike traditional adaptive tools like iReady, Khan Academy, or IXL, Wild Zebra doesn’t just adjust which questions students see—it adapts to how they think. Students engage in guided, back-and-forth conversations with an AI tutor that responds to their ideas, asks follow-up questions, and encourages productive struggle, making practice feel more like working with a tutor than taking another test. From the student side, sessions are interest-based and conversational, which increases engagement and reduces test fatigue. From the teacher side, Wild Zebra provides visibility into student reasoning and learning behaviors, not just right or wrong answers, while maintaining strong instructional guardrails around mastery, academic integrity, and progress.
