Trusted by U.S. districts to support English Learners
English Learners need more opportunities to speak. Telo helps districts scale individualized speaking practice without scaling staff.
Give every English Learner up to 1 additional hour of personalized speaking practice every month.
Students practice the speaking skills they need to build confidence before state English language proficiency assessments.
One teacher cannot hold 25 individual conversations at once. Telo can help every student practice independently.
Teachers see participation, vocabulary growth and speaking progress after every session.
See how Telo gives students more speaking practice while teachers stay in control.
Telo analyzes each conversation so teachers can quickly see who is participating, who is progressing and who needs support.
Telo adjusts difficulty, vocabulary and feedback to each student’s level. Stronger speakers get pushed further; struggling learners get more scaffolding.
Each session starts from a prompt. Students ask Telo to “practice the chapter 4 vocabulary,” “quiz me on yesterday’s reading,” or “roleplay a market scene from the IB unit.” Telo builds the conversation around their request. No uploads, no integration to set up.
Aligns with whatever ELL framework your state uses: WIDA, Texas ELPS, California ELD, NY NYSESLAT, Mississippi ELPT, and any other. Common Core and IB too.
Track each student’s vocabulary growth, session length and error types. All mapped to your state’s ELL standards, so you see exactly where they progressed and what they need next.
Telo supports teachers by giving every student more individual speaking time, more personalized practice and more consistent engagement.
Students get dedicated 1-on-1 time to speak, think and respond.
Teachers set the goals, topics and rules. Telo reinforces instruction instead of replacing it.
Use Telo on the web or with the robot. It fits into the devices, routines and classrooms districts already have.
Choose the experience that fits your classroom. Both come with the full Teacher Dashboard.
A no-screen, physical companion that talks with students 1-on-1. Designed for focused, screen-free speaking practice in real classrooms.
The same Telo experience, now available on the tablets and computers your school already uses. No new hardware required.
From English fluency to classroom support, Telo helps students practice out loud with personalized guidance.
Built for ELL students. Targeted speaking, listening, vocabulary and fluency practice. Telo adapts in real time to each learner’s English level and gives every student more time to talk.
Real-time help on any K-8 subject: ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies. Students ask Telo to clarify vocabulary, explain definitions, or work through any exercise their teacher assigned.
Conversational practice in French, Spanish and Italian, with prompts and corrections suited to each learner.
Teachers choose the goal. Telo adapts the conversation to the student, the lesson and the skill they need to practice.
Natural, low-pressure speaking practice. Builds fluency, confidence, and reduces anxiety.
Reinforce today’s vocabulary, grammar, reading or unit theme through guided speaking.
Real-world scenarios like restaurants, stores or interviews that drive meaningful, contextual interaction.
Targeted practice for one specific skill: complete sentences, transitions, academic vocabulary and more.
Students ask, explore and clarify: vocabulary, grammar, images, or any topic they’re curious about.
Telo doesn’t just teach students. It teaches them how to use AI responsibly, ask better questions, and think critically about what AI says.
Students practice formulating their own goals out loud (“Hi Telo, I want to…”). They develop the habit of giving AI clear context, instructions and constraints, a skill they’ll use the rest of their lives.
Telo helps students recognize the strengths and limits of AI: when it’s helpful, when to verify, and when a teacher or peer is the better answer.
Students learn to question, push back and ask follow-ups, instead of accepting AI’s first response. Telo encourages curiosity, not passivity.
We treat student privacy as a non-negotiable. Telo is FERPA compliant, never trains its models on student data, and integrates with the identity tools your district already uses.
Telo is built to meet FERPA requirements. Student records stay protected and access is restricted to authorized educators in your district.
Conversations, recordings and student information are never used to train our AI models. Your students’ data stays your students’ data.
Native integrations with Clever and ClassLink. Provision classes and let students log in with one click.
