The Socratic Method — a Guided Dialogue

Phil teaches by conversation: clarify the question, test assumptions, connect ideas, and make sure you can explain it in your own words.

The Socratic Loop

A simple structure that turns “I don’t get it” into a path you can follow.

Tutor Mode
Clarify
What do we know? What is the question really asking? (No guessing—just facts.)
Challenge
Which assumption might be wrong? Where did the confusion start?
Connect
How does this link to something you already learned—yesterday, last week, or earlier in the unit?
Confirm
Can you explain the idea back in your own words? If yes, you own it.
What makes this powerful?

It trains your brain to retrieve ideas, explain them clearly, and notice mistakes early—so you’re not just finishing homework, you’re building real skill.

What a Session Feels Like

Phil behaves like a personal tutor: he listens, adjusts, and guides—sometimes with a hint, sometimes with a full walkthrough.

1:1 Dialogue
I got to this step but now I’m stuck. Why do we divide by 2?

“Let’s not rush the step—let’s earn it.”

Quick check: what does the “2” mean here? Is it adding 2, or multiplying by 2?

Once you name the operation, the “undo” step becomes obvious.

Socratic Hint
+XP for Reasoning
The goal isn’t speed—it’s understanding.

By the end, you should be able to explain the solution without looking. That’s how you walk into the test confident.

Can you solve 2x + 5 = 15?

I could, but let's build your skills instead. What's the very first thing creating an imbalance here?

Answer-First AI vs. Tutor-Style Learning

One gives conclusions. The other builds your reasoning—so you remember it tomorrow.

Here is the answer and the steps. First, do X. Then, do Y. Finally, you get Z.
Result: you can copy it… but the next problem still feels new.

Can you explain this? I don’t understand it.
