Helping Students Ace Math with AI: Dong Zhang on Personalized Learning, SAT Prep, and Confidence
About this episode
🎙️ In this episode of Parents: Is Your Teen College Ready?, Shelly Howard welcomes Dong, founder of Ace Rocket, to discuss how AI, personalized learning, and strong tutoring support can help students succeed in math and science.
🚀 Dong shares his journey from earning a PhD in astrophysics and working as an AI scientist at Amazon and IBM to building an education platform designed to help students reduce math anxiety, identify learning gaps, and prepare for exams like the SAT, ACT, AP Calculus, and AP Statistics.
📚 Parents will learn why math confidence starts with understanding a student’s current skill level, how personalized roadmaps can save time, and why AI can support learning but never fully replace the connection and motivation of a human tutor.
