Before lesson one

Plan a focused first session

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

  1. Arrive with evidence

    Bring a passage, source, question, claim, event, map, scene, or draft interpretation. A real sample gives Theo something concrete to diagnose.

  2. Define one result

    Aim for one defensible interpretation, argument, comparison, or contextual explanation. 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

Close reading, source checking, careful drafting, and line-by-line feedback.

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

Voice call

Socratic discussion, debate, oral explanation, narrative rehearsal, and testing an interpretation under questions.

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

Classroom

Evidence maps, timelines, annotated passages, argument outlines, and collaborative writing.

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

Repeatable value

Use Theo's lesson rhythm

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

Start
Review one song, paragraph, or creative block and name the next craft move.
Work
Warm-up, close listening or reading, guided revision, then a short creative assignment.
Continue
Tiny compositions, rewrite prompts, and listening notes.

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 Theo sees the current version.

Whiteboard

Classroom

Map the central claim, evidence, context, assumptions, counterreading, and unanswered questions.

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

Subject Lab

Classroom

Use the Subject Lab for close reading, source comparison, case analysis, chronology, or argument testing.

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

Practice

Classroom

Make an interpretation before receiving commentary, support it with evidence, then test it against a serious alternative.

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

Notebook and Document

Classroom

Keep quotations, source notes, concepts, counterarguments, and questions separated so evidence does not blur into opinion. Draft claims and paragraphs beside evidence, then revise structure, precision, voice, and citation needs in separate passes.

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 cards for concepts, dates, thinkers, evidence, and short prompts that require comparison rather than recognition.

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.

SVG Studio

Classroom

Create a clean reusable diagram, timeline, composition, position, or concept map when the whiteboard becomes too temporary.

Best move: Build the first structure, share it, and ask Theo to revise labels or relationships while preserving your original reasoning.

Subject Lab

Prompt desk

Generates constraints that match the learner style and level.

Try it with Chord progressions in Subject Lab, make one attempt yourself, then ask Theo to correct only what blocks the next step.
Practice

Practice mode

Compares draft versions and names what changed.

Try it with Chord progressions in Practice, make one attempt yourself, then ask Theo to correct only what blocks the next step.

Ready to use

Prompts that fit this tutor

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

  1. Review one song, paragraph, or creative block and name the next craft move.

  2. I want to improve Chord progressions. Use Listening labs, draft critique, composition prompts. Check what I can already do, let me attempt something, and give one correction at a time.

  3. Open Subject Lab for Song structure. 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.

  • Makes a clearer claim before asking for help
  • Uses specific evidence instead of broad summary
  • Responds to a credible counterargument
  • Connects context to interpretation without overclaiming

Responsible use

Use Theo as a tutor, not an authority

Supports creative development without claiming ownership of the learner work.

Theo is a fictional AI tutor profile for creative learning and critique support.
