Main Ideas & Concepts

The video explains how tutors at Dim Tutoring can:

  1. Read and interpret student diagnostics to understand what to teach and how to adapt instruction.
  2. Use an AI tool called LessonCraft to turn diagnostics into a detailed lesson plan for a single lesson.
  3. Create teaching materials using AI (e.g., Zi/AI Slides), saving time by generating slide/PPT-based materials from the lesson plan.

Methodology / Workflow (Detailed Steps)

A) How to Read Student Diagnostics (What to Look For)

Where diagnostics come from

  • From the student’s back-office notes (already available in the system, e.g., on Miro)
  • Or by doing an own diagnostic in the first tutoring lesson

Most important sections to review

  • Top profile information

    • Student name
    • Age
    • Grade
    • Curriculum/program (e.g., Independent, Cambridge, IB, etc.)
    • Why it matters: you must adjust material to the student’s curriculum.

  • Language section

    • The instruction language
    • The language of materials to be used
    • Example: if the diagnostic says Indonesian, later materials should also be in Indonesian.

  • Student ability / work profile (performance-related factors)

    • Working speed (medium / fast / slow)
      • If fast: create materials with more questions to prevent boredom.
      • If slow: use gradual difficulty, starting easy, and fewer questions.
    • Concentration / attention
      • Example: if writing is often distracted, prepare lessons with extra support to reduce distractions.

  • Student goals / objectives

    • Examples:
      • improve math skills
      • prepare for Olympiad
      • strengthen mathematical foundations
    • Why it matters: align lesson content and focus to the student’s goals.

  • Study plan (the course “map”)

    • Organized into blocks with a specified number of sessions.
    • How to read it:
      • Start with Block 1 (e.g., 12 lessons) for foundation topics (example: decimal fractions, measurement).
      • After completing Block 1, move to Block 2 (e.g., 10 lessons) for the next set (example: numbers and basic operations).
      • Continue until the total lesson count is reached (example mentions up to 60 lessons).

B) How to Use LessonCraft AI to Create a Lesson Plan

Access / location

  • LessonCraft is linked via Miro (password/email shared personally).

LessonCraft workflow

  1. Open “Calendar Diagnosis”

    • Check the diagnostic date
    • Example: if the diagnostic date is January 13th, open that date inside LessonCraft.

  2. Quick child selection

    • Select the student by name (example: “Audi”).

  3. Verify child information

    • Confirm age, class/grade, curriculum, and language match the diagnostic.

  4. Learning goals section

    • Optional (can be added or not).

  5. Assessments / ability breakdown

    • Review what is:
      • mastered
      • in progress
      • and most importantly, what needs improvement
    • Example: improvement needed in geometry and measurement.

  6. Special learning needs

    • Not mandatory, but can be filled if the student has special needs.

  7. Mandatory fields (minimum required to proceed)

    • Lesson type
      • Choose “New topic introduction” to teach something new.
      • Choose “Review and reinforcement” to revisit previously studied material.
      • (Other lesson types exist, mentioned generally.)
    • Subject
      • Copy from the diagnostics (example: geometry & measurement).
    • Learning objectives / learning goals
      • Type them manually or copy/paste from the diagnostics.
    • Teacher comments
      • Optional (personal notes or example questions).

  8. Generate the lesson plan

    • Click the button at the bottom to generate the lesson plan.

Important note about scope

  • The generated plan is for one lesson only, not the entire course.

What the generated plan includes (one lesson structure)

  • Time breakdown (examples given)
    • Warm-up: 10 minutes
    • Introduction: 5 minutes
    • Additional details appear in further sections.
  • Teacher script
    • Provided for tutors who are unsure what to say.
  • Interactive activities section
    • Intended for homework purposes
    • Process:
      • Create a link
      • Send the link to the student after class.
  • Download and confirm materials
    • Check appropriateness, then download the PDF of the lesson plan.

Next step after PDF

  • Use the PDF to create the teaching material (next workflow).

C) Create Teaching Materials Using AI (Slides / PPT Generation)

AI usage for materials

  • Not required (manual creation is allowed), but AI helps save time.

AI tools mentioned

  • GPT Chat
  • Gamma
  • Canva AI
  • Zi (highlighted as frequently used)

Using Zi / AI Slides in the workflow

  1. Click “AI slides”.
  2. Choose a template from examples.
  3. Attach the previously generated lesson plan PDF.
  4. Request a presentation, for example:
    • “Make a PPT with 10 slides using the file”.

Result

  • AI generates slides including:
    • learning objectives
    • examples of questions for students
    • additional content included in the material

Editing after generation

  • If the tutor doesn’t like the output:
    • edit text
    • add pictures
    • adjust content as needed

Overall goal

  • Provide the easiest way to create materials quickly while keeping flexibility to edit.
