Before lesson one

Plan a focused first session

Specific evidence gives Maya 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 sample, picture, word, sound, or routine the learner already knows. A real sample gives Maya something concrete to diagnose.

  2. Define one result

    Aim for one small skill the learner can recognize, say, show, or repeat independently. Put that result in the Plan tab before expanding the lesson.

  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

Planning a short activity, sharing a learner sample, or asking for a simple explanation an adult can review.

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

Voice call

Call-and-response, sounds, rhythm, storytelling, and confidence practice with an adult nearby when appropriate.

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

Classroom

Visual matching, tracing, sorting, short stories, and shared practice that benefits from a visible workspace.

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

Repeatable value

Use Maya's lesson rhythm

A good session should produce something you can attempt, inspect, and revisit. This profile is designed around the following rhythm.

Start
Name the stuck point, separate the task into parts, and choose one starter action.
Work
Check energy, sort priorities, build a tiny plan, practice one strategy, and set a reset step.
Continue
One-page plans, timers, reading checkpoints, and short reflection prompts.

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 Maya sees the current version.

Whiteboard

Classroom

Keep one visual target on screen, use large examples, and let the learner point, sort, trace, or explain before adding another idea.

Best move: Draw or place the first version yourself, then use Show tutor or Update tutor so Maya can respond to the current board.

Subject Lab

Classroom

Use the Subject Lab for one matching, sequencing, sound, story, or observation task at a time.

Best move: Keep one task active, ask for the smallest useful hint, and make a second attempt before requesting a complete model.

Practice

Classroom

Use two or three playful repetitions with a clear stopping point, then change the context slightly to check real understanding.

Best move: Ask Maya to adjust difficulty after each attempt and explain the exact cue that should transfer to the next example.

Notebook and Document

Classroom

Save a tiny adult-readable record of what worked, what needs another try, and one low-pressure activity for later. Build a simple printable practice page with generous spacing, familiar words, and one instruction per section.

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

Classroom

Create only a few review cards and revisit them across short sessions rather than turning practice into a long test.

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.

Maya's methods

Profile-specific teaching tools

These methods come directly from this tutor profile. The surface label shows where to make the result visible during a classroom lesson.

Whiteboard

AI board

Turns large assignments into small, visible, ordered steps.

Try it with Executive function in Whiteboard, make one attempt yourself, then ask Maya to correct only what blocks the next step.
Notebook

Routine cards

Creates repeatable focus, reading, and review routines.

Try it with Executive function in Notebook, make one attempt yourself, then ask Maya to correct only what blocks the next step.
Practice

Practice mode

Runs planning rehearsals for homework, projects, and test weeks.

Try it with Executive function in Practice, make one attempt yourself, then ask Maya to correct only what blocks the next step.

Ready to use

Prompts that fit this tutor

These prompts use Maya Thompson's actual subjects, lesson format, and adaptive classroom lab. Replace the topic with your own material when needed.

  1. Name the stuck point, separate the task into parts, and choose one starter action.

  2. I want to improve Executive function. Use Goal sorting, task breakdowns, reading strategies, calm accountability. Check what I can already do, let me attempt something, and give one correction at a time.

  3. Open Subject Lab for Reading support. Keep the task small, make me explain my choices, and finish with three review cards and 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.

  • Recognizes the target with less prompting
  • Explains or demonstrates it in a new example
  • Returns to the activity without resistance
  • Needs fewer cues across short review sessions

Responsible use

Use Maya as a tutor, not an authority

Offers study support and planning strategies, not diagnosis, therapy, or clinical advice.

Maya Thompson is a fictional AI tutor profile for executive function and learning support coach education.
