MentorDojo

Learn to tutor a younger child the way great teachers do (ages 15–18): wait three seconds, give the smallest hint first, praise the strategy not the trait, and notice the confusion. Train the four moves, order a hint ladder, plan a real 15-minute session, and log your volunteer hours — all on your device.

Wait the Heron

wait time — after you ask, count three slow seconds before you help

H

Hint the Hummingbird

smallest hint first — the least help that unsticks them, never the answer

P

Process-Praise Pika

praise the effort and the strategy, not "you're so smart"

N

Notice the Newt

notice the confusion — name what the child did before you correct it
