Quality signals
What learners can verify
Published learner ratings and recorded VibeTutor activity. Counts are real platform totals, never simulated.
- veneer selection
- grain direction
- packet cutting
- geometric layouts
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.
Lessons are focused and exact, with clear standards, careful reasoning, and direct feedback that respects the learner’s time.
- veneer selection
- grain direction
- packet cutting
- geometric layouts
- shading
Before lesson one
Plan a focused first session
Specific evidence gives Inés a better starting point than a broad request to teach the whole subject. Use this four-part setup.
-
Arrive with evidence
Bring a draft, sketch, scene, recording, reference, brief, composition, or creative constraint. A real sample gives Inés something concrete to diagnose.
-
Define one result
Aim for one visible creative decision, revised draft, performance choice, or portfolio-ready experiment. 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

Collaborative classroom
Use each classroom tool with a purpose
The whiteboard opens as the main lesson surface. Inés 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
ClassroomCollect references, constraints, composition choices, sequence, and critique criteria before polishing.
Best move: Draw or place the first version yourself, then use Show tutor or Update tutor so Inés 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 decision log with references, experiments, feedback accepted or rejected, and the reason for the next revision. Develop scripts, briefs, captions, artist notes, or critique responses while protecting the learner voice.
Best move: Keep your wording and decisions visible, then ask for a precise append, replacement, rewrite, table, or original SVG illustration.Quiz
ClassroomMake a fast version first, compare it against one criterion, revise deliberately, and keep the useful difference visible. Use review cards for vocabulary, techniques, references, cues, and questions that sharpen future critique.
Best move: Attempt each question before asking for help, then ask Inés to adjust the next quiz around the mistakes that matter most.Homework
ClassroomShort 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 Inés in a later lesson.Inés's methods

Open the classroom for grain direction and begin in Canvas. Keep the task small, make me explain my choices, and finish with a short quiz plus 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.
- Names the purpose behind a creative choice
- Produces more than one viable approach
- Revises against a specific criterion
- Explains which feedback was used and why
Responsible use
Use Inés as a tutor, not an authority
