Question 1

How does vocabulary tracking work during a lesson?

Accepted Answer

Open any lesson in the classroom, select a word in the notes, and click 'Add to vocabulary' from the bubble menu. Tuton's AI generates concise definitions, part of speech, an example sentence, synonyms and antonyms, and a non-native-friendly pronunciation guide — then adds the card to the student's deck. During live lessons, Tuton also analyses the transcript every ~30 seconds and suggests vocabulary the student actually used, so you can save it without breaking flow.

Question 2

What is SM-2 spaced repetition?

Accepted Answer

SM-2 is a proven algorithm that schedules vocabulary reviews at the optimal moment — words a student knows well come back less often, words they're struggling with come back sooner. Tuton layers five mastery tiers on top (New, Learning, Familiar, Confident, Mastered) so both you and your student can see at a glance how each word is progressing.

Question 3

Does Tuton translate vocabulary into my student's native language?

Accepted Answer

Yes — over 150 native languages are supported. Set a student's preferred language once and every word card is auto-translated. If a student enters a word in their own language while studying, Tuton detects it and translates it to English before adding it to the deck. Translations are cached, so repeat lookups are instant.

Question 4

Can students study vocabulary on their phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Tuton mobile app gives students swipe-gesture flashcards, a study mode that records progress with SM-2, a 'practice everything' mode for revision, and a word-to-definition matching quiz for variety. They can search their deck, filter by mastery tier or due-for-review status, and add private notes on any word for personal mnemonics.

Question 5

Can my students add their own words?

Accepted Answer

By default, vocabulary is curated by the tutor — words come from your lesson notes, the classroom transcript, or the bubble menu. This keeps every student's deck focused on what you've actually taught. Students can still add private notes to any word, and you can enable student-added words on a per-account basis if you'd like to allow it.

Question 6

Can I see which words a student has mastered or is struggling with?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The vocabulary dashboard shows every student you teach, with their total words, words due for review, current accuracy, and mastery breakdown. Drill into any student to see individual word mastery, accuracy per word, and what's coming up next. The AI assistant uses this same data to recommend vocabulary activities tailored to each student.

Question 7

Is vocabulary tracking included in the free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AI-built word cards, native-language translations, the classroom bubble menu, live transcript suggestions, the spaced-repetition study app on web and mobile, and the tutor mastery dashboard are all included in the 7-day free trial.
