Understand every lesson.
Then prove it.

Most tutoring stops when the homework is finished. We do not mark a topic complete until your learner can explain it unaided, and pass a check on new questions a week later.

The method

The CAQA Mastery Cycle

Six stages, in this order. A topic only turns green when the last two are passed.

1

Diagnose

We find the gap underneath the gap, not the topic your learner named.

2

Explain

Explicit teaching in small steps, with understanding checked at every step.

3

Model

A fully worked example, then faded, then handed over completely.

4

Practise

Spaced and mixed, never the same question type twice in a block.

The Prove Gate5

Prove

Teach it back unaided, then pass a check on new questions seven or more days later.

6

Transfer

Apply it in an unfamiliar context, with no help and no prompts.

Why stage 5 matters

Getting it right during the lesson measures short-term memory. Getting it right on new questions a week later measures learning.

Almost every tutoring service measures the first and calls it the second. We record both, and only the second turns a topic green. Try it on the example record: the row cannot go green until the delayed check is passed.
