Tutory-AI-powered Socratic tutoring tool.

Example

A student struggling with the concept of fractions might be asked to think about dividing a pizza into equal parts, which helps them connect the abstract concept with a real-world example.

Scenario

A middle school student is confused about how to add fractions with different denominators. Instead of giving the formula, Tutory asks them to think about how they might add pieces of two pizzas, each cut into different numbers of slices. This analogy helps the student understand the need for a common denominator.

Example

When a student answers a question incorrectly, Tutory doesn't immediately correct them but instead probes their understanding with follow-up questions, leading them to identify and correct their own mistakes.

Scenario

A high school student miscalculates the area of a triangle. Rather than giving the correct formula, Tutory asks them to consider how they would find the area of a rectangle first, then relate that process to a triangle. This approach helps the student uncover the error on their own.

Example

For complex topics like Newton's laws of motion, Tutory breaks down the concepts into smaller, more digestible questions that build on one another.

Scenario

A college student learning about physics might struggle with understanding the concept of inertia. Tutory might start by asking about everyday experiences, like why a car suddenly stopping causes passengers to lurch forward, and use that as a foundation to explain inertia in more technical terms.
