Tier 1 · Nudge
A directional question — “what are you noticing?” — that points the student at the right idea.
Guided Hints
Three hints before the answer. Always.
A layered hint system that is enforced on the server, so the tutor never has an answer to give away. Each tier narrows the problem a little more until the student can finish it.

What you get
What makes Guided Hints different.
Tier 2 · Focus
A focusing question that isolates the step where the reasoning is stuck.
Tier 3 · Scaffold
The first step is shown and the rest stays hidden for the student to complete.
Worked example
Last resort: the same pattern with different numbers, never the original answer.
How it works
Three steps to get going.
Try first
The student makes an attempt before any hint unlocks.
Unlock in order
Each tier opens only after the one before it has been considered.
Finish solo
The student completes the original problem themselves.
Who it's for
Built for everyone around the learner.
Students
Get unstuck without losing the satisfaction of solving it.
Teachers
Support that builds independence instead of copy-paste answers.

Common questions.
Can a student skip straight to the answer?
No. The hint order is enforced by the server, not the chat, so it cannot be talked around.
What if the student is still stuck after three hints?
They get a worked example with the same shape and different numbers, then return to their own problem.
