← Mentoring a Young Person · Lesson 2 of 3
The smallest hint first
When a student is really stuck, help in small steps. Start with the least you can say: "What is the question asking?" Then a little more: "What did you do on the last one?" Only then point to the step.
Each hint gives them a chance to finish it themselves. The full answer is the last rung, not the first.
Which is the smallest hint?
A lesson is kept once you've answered the question and written at least 8 words. Nobody grades it; it stays on this device.
