Aletheia's AI tutor is like having a patient, knowledgeable teacher ready to help you learn. Here's how to get the most out of it!
Starting a Session
- Sign in with your family code and PIN
- From your dashboard, choose a subject (like Math or Science)
- Pick a topic to start learning
- The tutor will greet you and start with a question to see what you already know
The tutor follows your curriculum â it knows what topics you're working on and guides you through them step by step.
How the Tutor Teaches
Your AI tutor works like a real teacher in a conversation:
- Asks questions first â the tutor starts by finding out what you already know
- Explains concepts â clear explanations matched to your age and level
- Gives practice problems â after explaining, you'll get problems to try
- Checks understanding â the tutor asks follow-up questions to make sure you get it
- Quizzes you â when you're ready, the tutor will quiz you on what you've learned
You don't need to ask for quizzes â the tutor decides when you're ready and quizzes you automatically during the conversation.
What Your Tutor Can Help With
Your AI tutor can teach subjects including:
- Math â arithmetic, fractions, algebra, geometry, word problems
- Reading & Writing â comprehension, grammar, vocabulary
- Science â biology, chemistry, physics, earth science
- History & Social Studies â events, people, timelines, geography
- Languages â Spanish tutoring available
Homework Help with Photos
If you have a homework problem you're stuck on, you can share a photo of it! The tutor will:
- Look at your homework problem
- Ask you guiding questions to help you figure it out
- Give hints without just telling you the answer
- Help you understand the steps so you can solve similar problems on your own
The tutor uses the Socratic method â it guides you to discover the answer yourself, which helps you learn much better than just being told the answer.
Visual Explanations
The tutor can create diagrams to help explain concepts visually â things like:
- Process flows (water cycle, food chains)
- Timelines and sequences
- Cause and effect relationships
- Classifications and comparisons
Multiple Choice and Typed Answers
Sometimes the tutor gives you quick-answer buttons to tap (like A, B, C, D), and sometimes you type your answer. It mixes up the question types to keep things interesting.
Tips for Great Sessions
- Be honest if you don't understand something â the tutor will explain it differently
- Take your time â there's no rush and no wrong answers while learning
- Ask "why?" â understanding why something works helps it stick
- It's okay to be wrong â mistakes are how your brain grows stronger!
- Come back daily to keep your đĨ streak going!
Text-to-Speech
Want the tutor to read responses aloud? Toggle the volume icon in the chat to turn text-to-speech on or off. You can adjust the reading speed to whatever feels comfortable for you.
Study Guides
Your parent can generate study guides for your subjects from the parent dashboard. These summarize key concepts and are great for reviewing before a test â find them in your Study Guides section.
