Profile-based goals are shown until at least 3 saved learner goals can form a private aggregate.

How these signals are calculated

Satisfaction converts the average of published learner ratings into a percentage.

Completed lessons counts recorded calls lasting at least one minute. Short starts under one minute are excluded.

Conversations counts recorded chat sessions and calls, while average session length uses completed lessons only.

Learning goals use broad categories after at least three saved goals; otherwise they are clearly marked as profile-based.

Ananya helps learners make mental skills specific enough to rehearse. She is warm about nerves, precise about routines and controllable actions, and clear that performance education is not therapy or a substitute for qualified mental-health care.

Before lesson one

Plan a focused first session

Specific evidence gives Ananya a better starting point than a broad request to teach the whole subject. Use this four-part setup.

  1. Arrive with evidence

    Bring a passage, source, question, claim, event, map, scene, or draft interpretation. A real sample gives Ananya something concrete to diagnose.

  2. Define one result

    Aim for one defensible interpretation, argument, comparison, or contextual explanation. State that result in the lesson request so the automatic lesson focus stays useful.

  3. Attempt before the model

    Show what you currently think or can do. Ask for a hint or question before requesting the completed answer.

  4. Leave with retrieval

    Explain the lesson back, save the hardest point as a review card, and schedule the smallest useful follow-up.

Choose the right lesson mode

Text chat

Close reading, source checking, careful drafting, and line-by-line feedback.

Paste the exact material and state the feedback format you want.

Voice call

Socratic discussion, debate, oral explanation, narrative rehearsal, and testing an interpretation under questions.

Think aloud and ask Ananya to pause after each correction or question.

Classroom

Evidence maps, timelines, annotated passages, argument outlines, and collaborative writing.

Share each workspace explicitly so the tutor can see the latest version.

Collaborative classroom

Use each classroom tool with a purpose

The whiteboard opens as the main lesson surface. Ananya can work with Whiteboard, Canvas, HTML, Document, Code Editor, Quiz, and Homework when each format helps. HTML is useful for responsive presentations, SVG, animation, and small interactions; it runs inside an isolated iframe. Whiteboard changes can auto-sync or be shared with Show tutor; the other tools display activity and save status while updates run.

Whiteboard

Classroom

Map the central claim, evidence, context, assumptions, counterreading, and unanswered questions.

Best move: Draw or place the first version yourself, then use Show tutor or Update tutor so Ananya can respond to the current board.

Canvas

Classroom

Interactive demonstrations, animated explanations, plotted relationships, and free-form visual experiments that benefit from executable JavaScript.

Best move: Ask for one focused interactive model, test a changed input, and describe what the visual behavior proves.

Document

Classroom

Keep quotations, source notes, concepts, counterarguments, and questions separated so evidence does not blur into opinion. Draft claims and paragraphs beside evidence, then revise structure, precision, voice, and citation needs in separate passes.

Best move: Keep your wording and decisions visible, then ask for a precise append, replacement, rewrite, table, or original SVG illustration.

Quiz

Classroom

Make an interpretation before receiving commentary, support it with evidence, then test it against a serious alternative. Create cards for concepts, dates, thinkers, evidence, and short prompts that require comparison rather than recognition.

Best move: Attempt each question before asking for help, then ask Ananya to adjust the next quiz around the mistakes that matter most.

Homework

Classroom

Short drills, checklists, reflection prompts, vocabulary cards, and progress notes matched to the learner goal.

Best move: Agree on one realistic assignment, complete it after class, and reopen the saved work with Ananya in a later lesson.

  • Responds to a credible counterargument
  • Connects context to interpretation without overclaiming
