Conversational Mentors for Learning
A guide that asks, explains, and prompts learners to revisit their reasoning, with teachers directing the journey.
01 / The Solution
When a student gets stuck, another explanation may help. But the first step is usually finding where the reasoning broke down, and a teacher cannot sit beside thirty students at once.
Conversational Mentors for Learning gives each student a guide that asks for reasons, offers a hint when useful, proposes comparisons, and invites them to check an answer, all within the goals of the lesson. Teachers choose content, level, tone, and feedback criteria. The mentor provides individual practice and highlights the steps worth reviewing, without ever treating an automated answer as a final assessment.
Delivered online and in the classroom, on any device, in the student’s language. A mentor can focus on one subject or one task; materials, tone, language, level, access periods, and use of feedback are set together with the school.
02 / How It Works
01
Define the task
Choose a question, a problem, or a text, and identify the steps students should be able to explain. The mentor is configured on those steps, with your materials.
02
Discuss and try
The mentor asks for reasons, offers a hint when useful, and invites the student to check an answer. It does not give the solution; it helps find where the reasoning broke.
03
Review together
The student compares their path with the sources and the feedback; the teacher sees explanations of reasoning, use of evidence, revised hypotheses, requests for help, and recurring difficulties, and decides what to revisit in class.
04
One question, several attempts
In a philosophy activity a student states a claim. The mentor asks which premise supports it and which objection might challenge it. The student returns to the text and revises the answer. An example to build on your own content.
