- The page says spoken hints are capped at 20 words and also appear as captions; the voice can be muted.
Field notes
The page walks through a sample distribution error: Ally points to the “+4” term, asks whether the 3 reached every term in the brackets, and waits for the student to correct the work. It describes worksheet-photo or PDF input as well as a blank writing page. For returning sessions, the site says the tutor opens with a remembered sticking point and tests teaching styles such as visual explanations, plain words, guiding questions, and worked examples.
