LingoAce, a global education technology company headquartered in Singapore, has launched Tutor Luna, an AI-native English learning platform designed specifically for children aged 4 to 12. The announcement was made on August 4, 2026, from Singapore and San Mateo, California.
Tutor Luna is built around a proprietary AI-native learning engine that continuously tracks each child’s progress, adapts instruction in real time, and personalizes the learning experience. Unlike conventional AI tools that mainly answer questions or deliver practice drills, the platform is designed to act as an active participant in the learning process. It aims to understand how each child learns and to support meaningful skill development over time.
“Technology alone doesn’t transform education better learning experiences do”, said Hugh Yao, Founder and CEO of LingoAce. “Over the past nine years, we’ve worked with more than 580,000 learners across 180 countries and regions, and one thing has become increasingly clear: every child learns differently. Tutor Luna reflects our vision for how AI should be used in education not simply to automate learning, but to understand learners, adapt to their needs, and help them build confidence every step of the way".
At the heart of the platform is an AI system that goes beyond simple right-or-wrong scoring. It analyzes spoken responses, pauses, self-corrections, and interaction patterns to form a richer picture of each child’s learning behavior. For example, if a learner repeatedly self-corrects a particular sound or sentence structure, the system can recognize the pattern and insert targeted practice rather than treating the issue as an isolated error. These insights influence pacing, instructional strategy, and the design of future activities, creating a more tailored experience for every student.
LingoAce intends Tutor Luna to evolve continuously. Its longer-term roadmap includes structured lesson delivery, adaptive lesson orchestration, personalized learning pathways, and eventually AI-powered mentorship that can support learners throughout their educational journey.
English was deliberately chosen as the first subject domain. Language learning requires continuous interaction, immediate feedback, and authentic communication, making it an ideal environment for AI-driven personalization. The company believes the capabilities developed through English instruction can later serve as a foundation for broader applications across education.

The platform draws on LingoAce’s established academic foundation. This includes internationally recognized curricula, globally aligned teaching standards, certified teacher training programs, and the company’s recent full accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) in 2026. Tutor Luna was developed by a dedicated AI-native team inside LingoAce that brought together specialists in artificial intelligence, product design, engineering, and learning science. The team operated on a core principle: AI should not be an add-on feature but a foundational element of how learning is designed, delivered, and personalized.
Since its founding in 2017, LingoAce has grown into a significant player in the global EdTech sector. The company operates across the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, Southeast Asia, and China. It has built a network of more than 7,000 professionally certified teachers and has delivered over 22 million classes to more than 580,000 PreK-12 students in more than 180 countries and regions. Its core business has achieved sustained profitability and positive operating cash flow since 2024. LingoAce has received recognition on Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies list and the GSV EdTech 150, and it won the EdTechX Asia Pacific Award in 2025.
The launch of Tutor Luna represents another step in the company’s commitment to AI-powered education. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape how children learn, LingoAce plans to keep investing in technologies that make education more personalized, adaptive, and accessible for learners around the world.
