Oboe for Teachers

The Oboe team is excited to share that we’re offering free access to Oboe Pro for the first 1,000 teachers who email us at teachers@oboe.com from their school addresses.

Here’s why we’re doing this:

A teacher friend recently shared with us, “It’s never been harder to teach. It’s like every force is working against us, when all we’re trying to do is help.”

Educators are the main force ensuring the next generation remains smart, curious, and capable. And yet, over the past few years, the rise of artificial intelligence has caused an unprecedented shift in our ability to prepare students for the real world. Teacher burnout is on the rise while students' cognitive skills are on the decline.

That’s because AI wasn’t built with teachers and students in mind. So it’s left both teachers and students behind.

You grade a stack of essays and can't tell which ones your students wrote. You're not paranoid: 84% of high schoolers now use AI tools for schoolwork, and 63% of teachers say students have gotten in trouble for using it. The students sense the cost too. 67% of them say AI use harms critical thinking, up from 54% earlier in the year.

The struggle that builds real understanding never happens, and you absorb the fallout, policing a tool you never asked to bring into class.

Oboe was founded with a mission to make humanity smarter. We aim to turn AI on its head, by building a platform that is actually built for effective teaching and learning, with education as the primary use case rather than as an afterthought.

Give it a prompt and it builds a full learning experience, then teaches through conversation, checking your understanding and answering the question confusing you right now. It delivers ideas as worksheets, quizzes, diagrams, and songs you'll remember for years, so teachers spend less time producing and more time doing the part only they can.

Here are 3 ways we are seeing teachers use Oboe:

More resources our teachers have created using Oboe that we love:

  • A song for teaching 7th grade grammar and sentences clauses
  • Lessons for visually learning about ordered pairs in geometry
  • Podcasts for professional development about behavior management strategies
  • A study guide for a quiz on color temperatures and harmony in art class
  • A series of lessons and resources for teaching middle school financial literacy

If you teach, we want to help. Email teachers@oboe.com from your school email for access, and send this to a wonderful teacher who you think would love Oboe.
