Edtech tutors need patient reasoning, maths support, safety layers, and strong privacy. The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB on our hosting hosts a school-safe tutor stack.

• Safety layer
• Capacity per classroom

Models

• Main tutor: Llama 3 8B FP8 or Qwen 2.5 14B AWQ (better maths)
• Maths-specialised: Qwen 2.5 Math 7B
• Safety screener: Llama Guard 3 8B or a DeBERTa classifier
• TTS for read-aloud: Coqui XTTS v2 (multiple voices)

Stack

Tutor LLM:    vLLM (Qwen 2.5 14B AWQ)
Safety:       Llama Guard 3 8B or classifier on port 8001
Voice:        XTTS v2 for read-aloud
Embeddings:   BGE-base for curriculum retrieval
Front-end:    Any (student portal, mobile app)

If memory is tight (tutor + Guard both active), use DeBERTa classifier instead of a full LLM guard.

Safety Layer

1. Every student message -> Llama Guard / classifier before tutor sees it
2. Student age/class set in session context, tutor adjusts tone and vocabulary
3. Output moderation pass on tutor’s reply
4. Flagged interactions log to staff review queue
5. Teacher dashboard shows aggregate topics and alerts

Capacity per Classroom

• Small group (10-15 active students): comfortable on Llama 3 8B FP8
• Larger class (30 students): use Phi-3 mini for the common layer and escalate hard questions to the 8B
• School-wide rollout (100+ concurrent): add second card or move to larger GPU

For UK schools, the UK-jurisdiction hosting plus self-hosted inference keeps you compliant with data protection on children’s info.
