teraEd builds AI infrastructure for schools. Our platform, Luminect, tells teachers exactly what each student needs — and gives them back the hours they spend marking to find out.
The Problem
Teachers spend hours every day marking papers. The output is a number. 62%. It tells nobody what went wrong, where the gap started, or what to do about it. The best teachers can diagnose root causes — but there are never enough of them.
When a student falls behind in Year 3, it cascades through Year 4, 5, and 6. By the time anyone notices, the damage spans multiple years. Remediation targets the symptom, not the root cause. Schools lose years trying to fix a problem they never diagnosed.
In a class of 35, no teacher can catch every signal of distress. The students who need help most are the ones least likely to ask. Schools need a safety net that works even when nobody is watching.
The Product
Not another AI tutor. Not a test prep tool. Luminect gives teachers precise, actionable insight into every student's learning — and automates the work that used to make that insight impossible to find.
Teachers photograph stacks of student papers. Luminect reads, marks, and returns detailed skill-level feedback — not just a score. What used to take three hours takes twenty minutes.
Upload handwritten compositions. Get consistent, rubric-aligned marks with specific suggestions for improvement. Every composition marked the same way, every time.
Students open the app when stuck on homework. The AI guides them without giving answers. Teachers can push targeted exercises to any student who needs extra work.
When a student fails, Luminect tells teachers why. Not "weak at fractions" — precise, targeted diagnostics that pinpoint exactly what to reteach. Teachers stop guessing.
Every student has a living profile that grows with every interaction. Over time, Luminect knows exactly where each student is strong and where they struggle — across years, teachers, and subjects.
A silent support layer for school counsellors. Luminect detects signs of distress during student interactions and routes them privately to the counselling team — never to teachers, never stored on the student's academic profile. A safety net, not surveillance.
How It Works
They create worksheets, assign homework, mark student work — all inside Luminect, which handles the heavy lifting automatically.
Every student interaction makes the system smarter about that specific student — their strengths, their gaps, their patterns.
Luminect tells teachers what each student needs next. Teachers teach targeted, evidence-based lessons instead of guessing.
"The longer a school uses Luminect, the more precise its insights become. This is infrastructure, not a product you replace every year."
Why teraEd
teraEd is led by educators, for educators. Every design decision in Luminect is grounded in what actually happens when real teachers face real students. This is not software designed by engineers who read about education — it is software designed by people who have lived it.
"Our edge is educators who built the tech. 60+ years of combined classroom experience — Singapore MOE pedagogy, Cambridge curriculum, international school operations, EdTech product leadership — encoded into a platform that understands how students actually learn and where they actually break down."
For School Leaders
Luminect costs less than the monthly salary of one teaching assistant — while serving your entire school.
