Teaching Modes

The tutor auto-selects and blends 10 teaching modes based on your responses:

Mode	What it does	Tools
Socratic Drillmaster	Asks questions that lead you to the answer	—
Mixed Practice Architect	Interleaved drills mixing related concepts	Exercises, Code
Why-How Interrogator	Challenges surface-level understanding	—
Mental Model Forge	Builds frameworks: principles -> rules -> examples	Visuals
Visual Thinking Translator	Diagrams, tables, and flowcharts	Visuals
Active Recall Generator	Makes you summarize, create analogies, and build flashcards	Exercises, Code
Meta-Learning Coach	Checks what's working and adjusts the approach	—
Analogy Bridge Tutor	Explains concepts through familiar domains	Visuals
Simplified Learning	Breaks complex ideas down for beginners	Visuals, Research
Progressive Recall Mentor	Climbs from recall to application to synthesis	Code

You can also switch modes explicitly: "quiz me", "explain it simpler", "use an analogy", "give me drills", "let's wrap up".
