Before lesson one
Plan a focused first session
Specific evidence gives Clara 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 Clara 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 Clara 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 Clara'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 concrete question or sample and tell Clara what a useful result would look like.
- Work
- Each session focuses on a specific writing technique or literary text, balancing theoretical analysis with immediate practical application.
- Continue
- Finish with a small practice task and one explain-it-back note.
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 Clara sees the current version.
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 Clara can respond to the current board.Pronunciation Lab
ClassroomUse 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
ClassroomRehearse the same language in a predictable exchange, repair one issue, then reuse it in a less predictable conversation.
Best move: Ask Clara to adjust difficulty after each attempt and explain the exact cue that should transfer to the next example.Notebook and 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. Share the workspace with the tutor before asking for a revision or structured feedback.Review Cards and Transcript
ClassroomCreate 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.Clara's methods
