A tutor gives your students someone to ask when you are not there. This walks through building one, testing it, and putting it in front of a class.
Build it
Open My Library, click Create, then Tutor.
Choose With Agent to describe what you want, or From scratch to write the prompt yourself.
A good brief says who it is for, what it should help with, and what it should not give away: "a Grade 11 chemistry revision tutor that asks questions rather than handing over answers".
Set it up
Click Tutor settings and work down the page.
Socratic mode. Adaptive suits most tutors: questions first, more help if a student is genuinely stuck.
Knowledge base. Upload your own material so it answers from your course, not the internet.
STEM mode for maths and science.
Suggested questions to keep a conversation moving.
Click Save changes.
Test it before anyone sees it
Start a New chat and ask what a student would ask. Check it guides rather than just answering. After any settings change, start another new chat: an existing one keeps the old behaviour.
Assign it
Click Assign and tick your classrooms. Students find it in their classroom straight away.
Watch how it is used
Open the classroom, go to the Tutors tab and click the tutor to read the conversations and see where students are getting stuck.
