How it works

Get help without handing over the thinking.

Good support should make the next step clearer while leaving the learner responsible for the thinking, choices and work. The Study Coach is built around that: Eddie stays beside the work to explain, question and guide, while the learner keeps ownership of the thinking and the work itself.

The same written assignment with Eddie open beside the work, including Talk It Out.

What using The Study Coach actually looks like.

You don’t have to arrive with the perfect question or even know exactly what is wrong. Bring the assignment, the problem, the notes, or the idea that isn’t coming together yet. The Study Coach helps you figure out what you need, work through it, and keep what matters so you can come back to it later.

Bring what you’re working on

Start with the real assignment, question, material, or idea.

Get unstuck in the way that helps

Learn the missing skill, ask Eddie, Talk It Out, or see the idea another way.

Do the thinking and the work

Write, calculate, research, organise, revise, practise, and make decisions yourself.

Keep what matters

Save, review, practise, plan, and return with more confidence the next time.

Real work first

Bring in the work you actually have to do.

Start with the thing that is actually in front of you: an assignment, a math problem, notes, research, a reading, or an idea you can’t quite organise yet. The Study Coach gives that work somewhere to live, so the learner can think on the page instead of trying to squeeze the whole learning process into a chat.

If part of the problem is a skill they need to learn first, they can step into Learn, work on that piece, and come back.

When the work is French from school, French Language Practice is there for Core French and French Immersion students: their own vocabulary, listening, speaking, and help with a worksheet.

Learn what you need, then return.

Sometimes getting unstuck means learning something first. Math, Reading, Grammar and Notes Learn give the learner a place to strengthen the skill they need, with Eddie available when another explanation helps. Then they can bring that understanding back to the work they were trying to do.

Talk It Out

When the words are messy, start by saying them.

Type it. Say it. Hear it. See it. Learners can use the microphone to say the messy version first, then read and edit their words before deciding what to send. The writing stays theirs. Eddie is there for the next move, not to invent the assignment.

Eddie can also speak responses aloud, and many Learn lessons include read-aloud support, so hearing an explanation is available when that works better than reading one.

01

Say it first

Use the microphone when the thought is still messy. You do not have to type the polished version to begin.

02

See it as text

Speech becomes editable writing. Read it back, change a word, or keep going until it sounds like what you meant.

03

Then continue

You decide what to send. The conversation with Eddie can continue beside the work, not instead of it.

The learner works here. Eddie coaches here.

Sometimes the learner needs an explanation. Sometimes they want a step checked. Sometimes they know what they mean but can’t get it onto the page. Eddie can meet those moments differently without quietly taking over the task.

The learner still writes, chooses, calculates, revises and decides what belongs in the work.

  • What does this mean?
  • Is this step right?
  • I know what I want to say but I can’t get it onto the page.

Sometimes understanding changes when you can see the relationship.

Math Work keeps the graph, the work pad and the learner’s reasoning together in one place. Visual Thinking gives ideas a structure you can see through flowcharts, mind maps, timelines and Venn diagrams. Sometimes seeing the relationship is what finally makes it click.

Visual Thinking

Visual Thinking gives ideas a structure you can return to — not just a picture to look at.

Learning doesn’t happen in a chat box.

Real learning leaves a trail: notes, materials, sources, questions, drafts, calculations, plans and things worth coming back to. The Study Coach keeps those pieces connected so the learner can find the thread again instead of starting from scratch every time.

Review

Return to what matters.

Seeing something once is not the same as remembering it later. Review gives learners different ways to come back: save what matters, practise recalling it, explain the idea in their own words, or check what they understand.

Saved Review
Come back to this — keep what matters so it is waiting when you return.
Flashcards
Remember this — practise recalling it, not only recognising it on the page.
Guided Practice
Explain your thinking — put the reasoning into your own words, with support beside you.
Practice Test
Check your understanding — see what feels solid and what still needs another pass.

The goal is greater independence.

Good support should help a learner become more able to handle the next difficult moment. Over time, that can mean knowing how to begin, recognising what is confusing, choosing a useful strategy, checking their own reasoning, and knowing when asking for help is the right next step.

Independence does not mean doing everything alone. It means becoming more confident about what to do when learning gets hard.

  • Start with less hesitation
  • Ask better questions
  • Check and revise their own thinking
  • Know when and how to ask for help

Support that stays with the learner.
