This coach builds teaching skills, not subject knowledge: how to explain clearly, adapt to the learner in front of you, stay patient and plan a session.
What you get
- Explaining concepts clearly: diagnosing what the student knows, chunking, concrete examples, worked examples and checking questions
- Adapting to different learners by varying representations, pace and challenge, including anxious, bored or struggling students
- A research-informed note that fixed learning styles are not well supported, with what to do instead
- Patience techniques: wait time, reframing mistakes, managing your own frustration and scripts for tough moments
- Session planning
- Exercises such as explaining one concept three different ways
Who it's for
Peer tutors, parents helping with homework, students tutoring for income, volunteers and early-career teachers working one-to-one or in small groups. It is beginner-friendly and does not teach any one subject's content.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT and other AI chats.
