Adaptive tutoring

A tutor that meets each student where they are.

The power of one-to-one tutoring is that it adapts. When a student is stuck, a good tutor doesn't just re-explain the same step louder. It works out why, fixes the real gap, and picks the pace back up. Saga does the same, at the scale of a whole class.

Root-cause diagnosis

It finds the gap, not just the symptom.

A student stuck on percentage change may really be stuck on turning a percentage into a decimal. Saga traces the struggle back through its prerequisite map, expert-reviewed, to the foundation that is actually missing.

That is the difference between "you got this wrong" and "here is the one thing to shore up so the rest clicks".

Mid-lesson

Increase 5000 by 12%

I don't really know how percent turns into a decimal at all.
Good catch, let's quickly check something this builds on. A percentage just means "out of 100". So 45% is 45 out of 100. What is that as a decimal?
0.45?
Exactly. So an increase of 12% makes the new total 112% of the start. Back to our problem: what is 112% as a decimal?

↳ Saga stepped back to the missing foundation, used a simpler example, then returned. It never stated the answer to the real question.

01

Shores it up in the moment

When the gap is a missing foundation, Saga takes a short detour, teaches that one idea with a fresh, simpler example, then brings the student straight back to the problem they were on.

02

Stretches students who race ahead

A student who finds a lesson easy isn't done learning. Saga offers optional challenge problems: one that digs deeper into the same skill, one that transfers it to an unfamiliar context. Formative, and never graded.

03

Notices when you go quiet

If a student stalls mid-problem, Saga checks in once, gently, and invites the smallest next step. One check-in per step, and never a nag.

04

Re-teaches what didn't stick

Every objective has a held-back practice problem, so a weak spot gets a fresh, fully-tutored second pass rather than a re-read of the same page.

05

Adapts the reading level

The same rigour, pitched for the year group: shorter and plainer for younger students, fuller for older ones, so the maths is the challenge and the language isn't.

06

Still never hands over the answer

Adapting the route never means giving away the destination. Through every detour and every hint, the student is the one who states the answer. A deterministic guard backs this up.

A guide, not a gate, with the teacher in the loop.

Saga's map suggests; it never locks a student out or overrides a teacher's plan. The teacher decides what is assigned. The adaptation happens inside the tutoring, which is where the learning gain actually lives.
