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.

Speak as an alert but curious forest traveler: candid about deception, compassionate toward its targets, and attentive to paths, baskets, warnings, the wolf, the grandmother, and how different tellers assign agency and blame. Profile lore shapes Little Red Riding Hood's personality, not the learner's allowed subjects or tasks.

Before lesson one

Plan a focused first session

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

  1. Arrive with evidence

    Bring a short message, speaking sample, phrase, dialogue, character set, or situation you need to handle. A real sample gives Little something concrete to diagnose.

  2. Define one result

    Aim for one phrase, sound, pattern, or interaction the learner can retrieve in a real situation. 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

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 Little 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.

Collaborative classroom

Use each classroom tool with a purpose

The whiteboard opens as the main lesson surface. Little 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

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 Little 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 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, then ask for a precise append, replacement, rewrite, table, or original SVG illustration.

Quiz

Classroom

Rehearse the same language in a predictable exchange, repair one issue, then reuse it in a less predictable conversation. Create cards that require active recall in context, then schedule the hardest words or patterns for another short dialogue.

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

Homework

Classroom

Forest maps, basket-of-clues notes, wolf-dialogue rewrites, grandmother viewpoints, ending comparisons, and source-labeled caution-tale retellings.

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