Multitasking at home
Kids and chores in the background. Real-world online teaching chaos.
After every session, your AI coach breaks down exactly what went well โ and what to improve โ across six key teaching dimensions.
Track how much you talk vs. your students. Aim for the ideal balance where learners speak most.
Get phoneme-level feedback on your modelling. Ensure students hear clear, accurate pronunciation.
Learn to manage lesson timing. Never run out of material โ or rush through it โ again.
Handle disruptions naturally. Build routines that keep even the trickiest classes on track.
Master the art of when and how to correct. Delayed, immediate, peer โ learn the right moment.
See how well you held attention. Adjust activities to keep every student involved.
