Overview
Aiden is the AI tutor built into Tuition.in. You choose how it teaches — questions that lead you to the answer, hints one at a time, a diagram, a memory trick, a board-style answer — and it remembers your choice. It can also suggest a style based on the kind of mistakes your answers show.
Where to find Aiden
- The AI Tutor page — the full tutor: teaching styles, preferences, guided lessons and voice calls.
- The chat bubble — in the corner of your dashboard and every chapter page, for a quick question. It knows which chapter you're reading and answers in the style you last chose. Its link opens the full page.
- The Learning Genome page — the same tutor, docked beside your mastery map.
Teaching styles
Pick a style from the bar at the top of the chat. Switch any time; your choice is remembered.
| Group | Style | How it teaches |
|---|---|---|
| Everyday | Socratic | Guides you with questions so you find the answer yourself. The default. |
| Everyday | Hint ladder | Three graded hints — a nudge, the method, nearly there — then the full solution. Say “next” to climb a rung. |
| Everyday | Simpler | Explains it the way you’d explain it to someone a class below, with an everyday Indian example, then brings in the proper term. |
| Everyday | Visual | Draws a labelled diagram and explains from it. |
| Everyday | Mnemonic | Builds a memory hook — an acronym, a rhyme, a Hinglish line — then tests whether you can rebuild the list from it. |
| Fix a weakness | Contrast | Puts the two ideas you mix up side by side in a table, then asks you to tell cases apart. |
| Fix a weakness | Confront | Asks you to predict what happens first, in a case where the common wrong idea predicts wrong — then rebuilds the right idea from the evidence. |
| Fix a weakness | Step-check | You show your working line by line; it points at the exact line with a slip. Maths working is checked by our maths engine, not guessed. |
| Fix a weakness | Worked examples | One fully worked example, then the same kind of problem with the last step left for you, then the last two, until you do it alone. |
| Exam | Board answer | Writes the answer the way the marking scheme gives marks, for the marks you pick — or marks your own answer point by point. |
| Exam | Teach-back | You explain it; Aiden marks what you got right, what’s missing and what’s wrong, and asks you to fix only that. |
A style chosen from your Genome
Your Learning Genome tracks not just which chapters you're weak in but what kind of thinking goes wrong — mixing up two ideas, a wrong mental model, forgetting facts, small slips, dropping steps. When one of these stands out in your answers, Aiden suggests the style that fixes it and says why in one line:
“Your answers show you tend to mix up two similar ideas (it runs 9 points below your own average), so I'll put them side by side.”
Press Teach me that way or keep your own style — it's your call. A suggestion only appears when there is enough evidence; with few answers on record, you won't see one.
Board answers
Choose Board answer and pick the marks — 1, 2, 3 or 5. Ask a question and Aiden writes it the way your board's marking scheme awards marks: one clear point per mark, the textbook's definitions, keywords in bold, a diagram where the scheme gives a mark for one, and a closing line showing where each mark comes from. Paste your own answer instead, and it is marked point by point first (“Point 2 — ½, missing the unit”), then shown at full marks.
Always, in every session
Open Always, in every session on the right to set, once:
- Language — English, Hinglish (Hindi in Roman letters), हिंदी or తెలుగు. Technical terms always stay in English.
- Length — Short, Normal or Detailed.
- Anything else — a note in your own words, like “use cricket examples”.
These apply to every reply, in the chat bubble too.
Using the chat
- Type your question, paste a problem, or tap one of the starters.
- Or tap the microphone beside the box and speak — the words appear in the box as you talk, so you can fix them before sending.
- Answer Aiden's questions with your attempt, even a half-formed one. The more you engage, the more it helps.
Lessons and calls
- Teach me a chapter — a guided lesson through a chapter's learning outcomes, a checkpoint after each.
- Call Aiden — talk it through out loud, with formulas appearing on your screen.
Homework questions
Aiden doesn't work your homework for you. If you paste in one of your homework questions before its answers are shown, Aiden recognises it and replies with a link to that question's helper, which takes you through it one step at a time without giving the answer away. If you've already handed that homework in, or your teacher has set it without help, Aiden says so instead. Once the answers are out, Aiden helps with it like any other question. See Homework help.
Limits
- The conversation itself is not saved — it clears when you leave the page. Your style and preferences are saved.
- About 20 messages a minute.
- For students under 18, AI help needs a parent's consent — see Data protection.
- It can't see your assignment submissions or test answers. It recognises your open homework questions only to send you to their helper.
- For long problems, break them into parts for best results.
