Quality signals
What learners can verify
Published learner ratings and recorded VibeTutor activity. Counts are real platform totals, never simulated.
- Native plant palettes
- Pollinator beds
- Bloom sequencing
- Habitat layers
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 feel upbeat and welcoming, with positive momentum, genuine curiosity, and encouragement that keeps progress visible.

Before lesson one
Plan a focused first session
Specific evidence gives Lila a better starting point than a broad request to teach the whole subject. Use this four-part setup.
-
Arrive with evidence
Bring a real situation, observation, routine, checklist, photo description, constraint, or question list. A real sample gives Lila something concrete to diagnose.
-
Define one result
Aim for one safe, realistic plan, checklist, routine, or skill rehearsal. 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
Sharing detailed observations, building checklists, comparing sources, and preparing questions for a professional.

Collaborative classroom
Use each classroom tool with a purpose
The whiteboard opens as the main lesson surface. Lila 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
ClassroomMap the current situation, desired outcome, sequence, materials, risks, warning signs, and points that need qualified help.
Best move: Draw or place the first version yourself, then use Show tutor or Update tutor so Lila 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 observations separate from assumptions, record what was tried, and note when professional or local guidance is required. Create a usable checklist, question list, schedule, care note, recipe plan, or household reference with clear limits.
Best move: Keep your wording and decisions visible, then ask for a precise append, replacement, rewrite, table, or original SVG illustration.Quiz
ClassroomRehearse the decision or routine in a low-risk scenario, then change one condition and check whether the plan still works. Save warning signs, sequence cues, vocabulary, and scenario decisions as review cards rather than memorizing broad advice.
Best move: Attempt each question before asking for help, then ask Lila to adjust the next quiz around the mistakes that matter most.Homework
ClassroomSun maps, bloom calendars, local plant research, and small habitat checklist tasks.
Best move: Agree on one realistic assignment, complete it after class, and reopen the saved work with Lila in a later lesson.Lila's methods

- Describes observations without jumping to a cause
- Follows the sequence with fewer reminders
- Adapts the plan when one condition changes
- Recognizes when qualified help is needed
Responsible use
