Tool by tool

MagicSchool

An all-in-one suite covering diverse prep tasks from lesson plans and worksheets to rubrics and parent letters. The UI is in English and built for the US system, so Korean outputs require editing. Free tier has monthly limits.

Diffit

Focuses on differentiating reading levels within a class, generating adapted passages, vocabulary, and questions. Level adjustments are calibrated for English, so Korean output varies. Free plans have weekly generation limits.

Brisk Teaching

A Chrome extension that integrates with Google Docs to adapt reading levels and give feedback on student writing on the spot. It cannot be used on other browsers and requires checking school privacy guidelines for student data.

Classting AI

The only tool here aligned with the Korean national curriculum, diagnosing student progress by standard. It avoids unfamiliar terms or system mismatches, but requires school-level adoption and has fewer creation tools.

Canva

Excels at visualizing teaching materials, from slides to posters, with Korean font support. Verified teachers and students get premium features for free. It is a design tool rather than a content generator.

How to choose

Start by identifying where you spend the most time. Choose MagicSchool for generating materials from scratch, Diffit for leveled reading, or Brisk for editing directly in documents. If diagnosing learning gaps is your goal, Classting AI accurately matches the Korean curriculum. Teachers and students should claim Canva for Education first. Check foreign tools for US-centric terms and verify school privacy rules.
