Guide a Student with the Personalized Tutor Agent

1. 1
   Initiate a Tutoring Session

   Navigate to a subject on Khan Academy and activate the Personalized Tutor Agent (Khanmigo). Start with a clear, open-ended question about a concept or problem to establish the learning goal. This signals the topic to the agent.
2. 2
   Engage in Socratic Dialogue

   The Personalized Tutor Agent is designed to guide, not just answer. When it asks a question, it's probing for understanding. Encourage the student to reason through their response. This Socratic method helps reveal and correct misconceptions.
3. 3
   Observe Adaptive Difficulty in Action

   If a student struggles, the Personalized Tutor Agent will dynamically adjust. It might offer a simpler, foundational question or provide a hint to scaffold the learning process, ensuring the student doesn't get stuck.
4. 4
   Review Progress and Reinforce Learning

   After a session, the agent can summarize what was learned. The Personalized Tutor Agent builds a persistent knowledge model to track mastery. Use this to identify strong points and topics that need review, enabling spaced repetition.

## Start a tutoring session on a new topic.
## Paste these prompts into the Khanmigo chat interface one by one.

# 1. Student starts with a problem.
"How do I calculate the area of a right-angled triangle with a base of 10cm and a height of 5cm?"

# 2. Agent responds with a Socratic question (simulated).
"I can definitely help with that! Do you remember the general formula for the area of any triangle?"

# 3. Student recalls part of the formula.
"I think it's something like base times height?"

# 4. Agent guides the student to the complete formula.
"You're on the right track! It's (base * height) / 2. Now, can you plug the numbers from your problem into that formula?"
