High-dosage tutoring works when quality is consistent—across tutors, grades, and subjects. AI Coach from Pencil Spaces turns every live session into clear, actionable insights so you can coach faster, scale confidently, and deliver reliably great outcomes.
Why AI coach matters
- Consistency at scale: Hold a uniform quality bar, no matter your tutors’ backgrounds or experience levels.
- Actionable coaching: Move beyond gut feel with objective evidence you can review together in minutes.
- Faster improvement cycles: Spot patterns early, coach precisely, and raise baseline quality across cohorts.
What it measures (and how it helps)
Grounded in Carnegie Mellon University learning principles, AI Coach evaluates four core dimensions proven to impact learning:
- Communication – clarity, pacing, and checks for understanding
- Engagement – student voice, participation, and momentum
- Content Accuracy – correctness and alignment to targets
- Instructional Clarity – scaffolding, examples, and transitions
Leaders can track rubric trends over time, drill into any session, and open a full breakdown with one click. Talk-time balance shows whether students’ voices are being heard. If engagement dips, you’ll see when—and why—so coaching stays specific and practical.
Tutors get plain-language explanations paired with instant playback of the exact moments that drove each score. They’ll see what worked (e.g., connecting complex concepts to real-world ideas) and what to try next when things missed the mark.
