For teachers: help a learner
TeachNow works best when the learner does the thinking and you help them keep a calm, steady learning habit.
Where TeachNow fits
Use TeachNow for one learner's own study: a hard school topic, a new interest, revision, or a skill they want to build. Start by agreeing on one small goal. Then let the learner use Lumi, practise, and show you what they found.
| Moment | A helpful teacher move |
|---|---|
| Before a session | Ask what the learner wants to understand or be able to do. |
| During a hard question | Ask which exact step feels unclear, then let the learner ask Lumi. |
| After a session | Ask for one idea they learned and one question they still have. |
| After a quiz | Use weak areas to choose a review, not to compare learners. |
Build a simple routine
A short routine is easier to keep than a long one. Try two or three sessions each week. A session can be one lesson, one practice task, or a short review. End by choosing the next small step before closing the page.
Talk about progress
Ask the learner to open their dashboard and show you the course they want to resume. The Learning Map can start a useful conversation: “Which skill feels ready?” or “Which one would you like to review?” The learner controls their own account and dashboard.
Support without taking over
Give the learner enough wait time to think. If they make a mistake, ask what they tried and what changed. If they need help, help them make the question smaller. Avoid typing answers or choosing quiz options for them; their own attempt tells Lumi what should come next.
