From Evaluation to Education

What if your evaluation report could talk back? GenTutor makes that possible.

Introducing GenTutor

GenTutor is GenEval's built-in AI tutor that helps students understand their evaluation results through natural conversation. Instead of puzzling over feedback alone, students can ask questions and get immediate, contextual answers.

Student Querying GenTutor

How It Works

Context-Aware Conversations

GenTutor doesn't start from scratch. It has full access to:
  • Your complete evaluation results
  • The original questions and rubric
  • Your specific answers and feedback
  • The subject matter and academic level
This means every response is tailored to YOUR evaluation, not generic study advice.

Natural Language Queries

Ask questions the way you'd ask a teacher:
"Why did I lose 2 marks on question 3?"
"What was wrong with my diagram for the circuit question?"
"Can you explain what 'concentration gradient' means? The feedback mentioned I missed this."
"How could I have improved my answer about World War I causes?"

Question-Specific Deep Dives

Click the chat icon next to any question to add it to your conversation context. GenTutor will then focus its explanations on that specific question, including:
  • Detailed breakdown of your answer
  • What the rubric expected
  • Conceptual explanations of topics you missed
  • Study recommendations for improvement

Key Features

🎯 Targeted Explanations

GenTutor explains concepts you missed in the context of YOUR answer, making abstract topics concrete and relevant.

📚 Study Recommendations

Beyond explaining errors, GenTutor suggests:
  • Specific topics to review
  • Chapters or resources to consult
  • Practice problem approaches
  • Memory techniques for key concepts

🔒 Safe & Private

Conversations are:
  • Tied to your individual evaluation
  • Not shared with instructors
  • Limited by credit allocation (prevents misuse)
  • Focused on educational support only

💡 Socratic Method

GenTutor doesn't just give answers — it guides understanding through questions, helping you build genuine comprehension rather than memorizing corrections.

Use Cases

Understanding Deductions

"I wrote about all 5 causes of WWI but only got 7/10. What happened?"
GenTutor might explain that while you mentioned all causes, you didn't explain the interconnections between them, which was worth 3 marks according to the rubric.

Clarifying Concepts

"The feedback says I confused osmosis with diffusion. What's the difference?"
GenTutor provides a clear explanation, tailored to the academic level of your exam, with examples relevant to the questions you answered.

Improving Future Performance

"What should I focus on for the next exam based on my weak areas?"
GenTutor analyzes patterns across your answers and provides a prioritized study plan.

Credit-Based Access

To ensure fair usage and prevent misuse, GenTutor operates on a credit system:
  • Students receive credits from their institution
  • Each query consumes one credit
  • Institutions can allocate credits based on their policies
  • Credits encourage thoughtful, focused questions

The Technology Behind GenTutor

GenTutor is powered by:
  • Large Language Models for natural understanding
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation for context accuracy
  • Evaluation Context Injection for personalized responses
  • Safety Filters to keep conversations educational

Why GenTutor Matters

Traditional feedback is a monologue. GenTutor transforms it into a dialogue.
Students don't just receive grades — they understand them. They don't just see mistakes — they learn from them. Every evaluation becomes an opportunity for growth, not just assessment.
