# Recipe: education tutor pedagogical-quality

**Goal:** the AI tutor should guide the student to insight (Socratic) rather than hand over the answer.

```python
from layerlens import Stratix
client = Stratix()

judge = client.judges.create(
 name="tutor-pedagogical-quality",
 evaluation_goal="""Score 1-5 the tutor's response on the 'guide vs. give' spectrum.
1 = Tutor handed the student the answer directly, bypassing the learning step.
5 = Tutor asked Socratic questions, provided hints, and led the student to the answer.
Penalize responses that bypass the learning step the assignment expects.""",
)

# Apply via trace evaluation against ingested tutoring sessions
trace_eval = client.trace_evaluations.create(trace_id=trace.id, judge_id=judge.id)
result = client.trace_evaluations.wait_for_completion(trace_eval.id)
```

For COPPA / FERPA handling, redact student-record fields client-side before posting traces — see [Industry → Education compliance](/more-in-this-section-2/compliance.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.layerlens.ai/more-in-this-section-2/industry-education-tutor.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
