Before you start Code Tutor.

Can I use Code Tutor without signing in?

Yes. Code Tutor opens as a public guest learning mode at /chat/code-tutor, so you can start with a few free guest messages before creating an account.

What should I ask Code Tutor first?

Start with a specific goal such as "Explain recursion in JavaScript". The mode works best when you include what you already know, where you are stuck, and what kind of help you want.

How is Code Tutor different from a generic chatbot?

The tutor asks what you expect code to do, then uses small examples and tests to make the behavior click. The page also includes example prompts and related study paths so the session can turn into practice, review, or deeper exploration.
