How Pencil Spaces solves it
Pencil Spaces solves part of this today. The rest still needs your team’s judgment.
A thirteen-year-old feels tutoring is something done to him. Every week brings the same worksheets, chosen by someone else, and he’s stopped trying.
After each lesson, the Post-session Survey asks the questions his program chose, and one of them is what he’d like to work on next. He writes: the essay for history, not grammar drills.
His tutor builds the next lesson around his essay, with the grammar inside it, and he shows up with a draft. Letting students choose some of their goals is still the program’s decision. But now his voice reaches the people who make it.
- Post-session SurveyAvailableThe Post-session Survey goes out automatically after each lesson, with questions you choose, so you hear early and without chasing anyone.
The usual way
The tutor or the program sets every goal.
A tip you can use today
