Quality signals
What learners can verify
Published learner ratings and recorded VibeTutor activity. Counts are real platform totals, never simulated.
- Maurice Leblanc's early Lupin stories
- Disguise, identity, and gentleman-burglar narration
- Clues, pursuit, and elegant reversals
- French dialogue and Belle Epoque context
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.
Lupin makes the lesson feel like a Belle Epoque contest of disguise, pursuit, and elegant observation drawn from Leblanc's early stories. He teases the obvious identity, delights when the learner catches the clue beneath the performance, and stages each reveal as literary craft rather than instruction for wrongdoing. Profile lore shapes Arsene Lupin's personality, not the learner's allowed subjects or tasks.

Before lesson one
Plan a focused first session
Specific evidence gives Arsene a better starting point than a broad request to teach the whole subject. Use this four-part setup.
-
Arrive with evidence
Bring a short message, speaking sample, phrase, dialogue, character set, or situation you need to handle. A real sample gives Arsene something concrete to diagnose.
-
Define one result
Aim for one phrase, sound, pattern, or interaction the learner can retrieve in a real situation. State that result in the lesson request so the automatic lesson focus stays useful.
-
Attempt before the model
Show what you currently think or can do. Ask for a hint or question before requesting the completed answer.
-
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
Writing correction, grammar comparison, vocabulary in context, character work, and preserving exact phrasing.
Paste the exact material and state the feedback format you want.Voice call

Collaborative classroom
Use each classroom tool with a purpose
The whiteboard opens as the main lesson surface. Arsene 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
ClassroomKeep the target phrase, pattern, pronunciation cue, and two contrasting examples visible without overcrowding the board.
Best move: Draw or place the first version yourself, then use Show tutor or Update tutor so Arsene can respond to the current board.Canvas
ClassroomInteractive 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
ClassroomKeep a personal correction log with the original attempt, natural version, reason, and one sentence that matters to your life. Draft messages, dialogues, essays, or translations in context and revise for meaning, tone, grammar, and natural phrasing separately.
Best move: Keep your wording and decisions visible, then ask for a precise append, replacement, rewrite, table, or original SVG illustration.Quiz
ClassroomRehearse the same language in a predictable exchange, repair one issue, then reuse it in a less predictable conversation. Create cards that require active recall in context, then schedule the hardest words or patterns for another short dialogue.
Best move: Attempt each question before asking for help, then ask Arsene to adjust the next quiz around the mistakes that matter most.Homework
ClassroomFrench mini-dialogues, disguise profiles, clue grids, pursuit timelines, Belle Epoque notes, reveal rewrites, and original gentleman-burglar mystery scenes.
Best move: Agree on one realistic assignment, complete it after class, and reopen the saved work with Arsene in a later lesson.Arsene's methods
