Before lesson one

Plan a focused first session

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

  1. Arrive with evidence

    Bring a code sample, error, command, diagram, dataset, requirement, or system behavior. A real sample gives Keiko something concrete to diagnose.

  2. Define one result

    Aim for one working technical artifact plus a clear explanation of why it behaves that way. 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

Pasting errors, comparing approaches, reviewing code carefully, and preserving exact commands or explanations.

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

Voice call

Thinking through architecture, explaining a bug aloud, interviewing, and checking conceptual understanding.

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

Classroom

Shared code, architecture diagrams, debugging traces, documentation, and testable worked examples.

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

First lesson preview

What happens in your first lesson

A clear, flexible outline drawn from Keiko's teaching plan, so you know what to expect before you begin.

  1. Step 1 Goal and context

    Choose one practical result you want from Swimming Stroke Mechanics and Sports Performance Science, body position, breathing, starts, turns, pacing, race strategy, video analysis, training loa. Keiko will use it to focus the lesson.

Collaborative classroom

Use each classroom tool with a purpose

The whiteboard opens as the main lesson surface. Keiko 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

Trace state, data, control flow, dependencies, and assumptions before changing code or infrastructure.

Best move: Draw or place the first version yourself, then use Show tutor or Update tutor so Keiko 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 a debugging log with symptoms, hypotheses, evidence, the smallest useful change, and the lesson to reuse later. Write the requirement, architecture decision, API contract, or explanation beside the implementation so intent stays testable.

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

Quiz

Classroom

Predict the result first, run or inspect the example, explain the difference, and then solve one nearby variation. Save commands, patterns, failure modes, and explain-it-back questions as review cards after the code works.

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

Homework

Classroom

Stroke observation sheets, turn checklists, pacing plans, split charts, session-RPE logs, recovery reflections, and short evidence appraisals.

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

Code Editor

Classroom

Use Code Editor for the smallest reproducible example, keep line numbers visible, and ask for tests or checkpoints before a full solution.

Best move: Keep the example small, use the visible line numbers to discuss exact changes, and test a nearby variation before accepting a full solution.

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.

  • Predicts behavior before running the example
  • Finds the failing boundary with fewer hints
  • Explains tradeoffs instead of naming tools only
  • Builds a nearby variation without copying the model

Responsible use
