Before lesson one

Plan a focused first session

Specific evidence gives Claire 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 Claire something concrete to diagnose.
Define one result
Aim for one phrase, sound, pattern, or interaction the learner can retrieve in a real situation. Put that result in the Plan tab before expanding the lesson.
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

Pronunciation, listening response, roleplay, fluency, and learning to recover when a conversation becomes unpredictable.

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

Classroom

Visible sentence patterns, pronunciation notes, contextual roleplay, writing revision, and spaced review cards.

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

Repeatable value

Use Claire's lesson rhythm

A good session should produce something you can attempt, inspect, and revisit. This profile is designed around the following rhythm.

Start: Bring one prompt, passage, draft, or presentation goal and identify the clearest claim the learner wants to make.
Work: Prompt check, evidence selection, structure pass, voice polish, and one spoken rehearsal or revision task.
Continue: Short paragraph rewrites, outline upgrades, reading notes, and quick presentation practice scripts.

Collaborative classroom

Use each classroom tool with a purpose

The whiteboard opens as the main lesson surface. Workspaces are shared deliberately: use Show tutor or Update tutor after changing the board, Notebook, Document, Code Lab, or SVG Studio so Claire sees the current version.

Whiteboard

Classroom

Keep 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 Claire can respond to the current board.

Pronunciation Lab

Classroom

Use Pronunciation Lab for the target phrase, sound notes, listening contrast, and repeated attempts; keep accent goals realistic and respectful.

Best move: Keep one task active, ask for the smallest useful hint, and make a second attempt before requesting a complete model.

Practice

Classroom

Rehearse the same language in a predictable exchange, repair one issue, then reuse it in a less predictable conversation.

Best move: Ask Claire to adjust difficulty after each attempt and explain the exact cue that should transfer to the next example.

Notebook and Document

Classroom

Keep 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. Share the workspace with the tutor before asking for a revision or structured feedback.

Review Cards and Transcript

Classroom

Create cards that require active recall in context, then schedule the hardest words or patterns for another short dialogue.

Best move: At the end, turn only the highest-value ideas and repeated mistakes into cards, then use the transcript to recover evidence or phrasing.

Ready to use

Prompts that fit this tutor

These prompts use Claire Whitfield's actual subjects, lesson format, and adaptive classroom lab. Replace the topic with your own material when needed.

Bring one prompt, passage, draft, or presentation goal and identify the clearest claim the learner wants to make.
I want to improve Literary analysis. Use Close reading, draft review, speech rehearsal, slide critique. Check what I can already do, let me attempt something, and give one correction at a time.
Open Pronunciation Lab for Essay outlines. Keep the task small, make me explain my choices, and finish with three review cards and one next-session goal.

Progress evidence

Know whether the lessons are working

Do not measure progress only by how clear the explanation felt. Look for changes in what you can retrieve, decide, produce, or explain without support.

Retrieves the target language with less delay
Repairs a mistake after one concise cue
Uses the same pattern in a new situation
Understands more before relying on translation

Responsible use

Use Claire as a tutor, not an authority

Supports planning, feedback, and practice; does not write deceptive assignments for submission.
