The risk of easy output

If a tutor solves too much, the learner may complete the task without building the underlying reasoning.

The Socratic alternative

A Socratic tutor asks questions, offers calibrated hints, and helps learners notice mistakes without outsourcing the core thinking.

What teachers need

Teachers need transcript evidence showing where the learner got stuck, not only whether the final answer was fixed.
