Misconception-coded diagnostic questions with a Socratic tutor
Eedi
The specialist in misconception diagnosis: every wrong answer choice is written to reveal a specific misconception, and its tutor only asks questions. Answers are multiple choice, so it does not read written work.
On the seven criteria
| Criterion | Status | What the vendor states |
|---|---|---|
| Socratic questioning, not answer-giving | Stated | “It never gives answers, it only asks students questions,” and activates after a specific error.[1] |
| Reads written work | No | Students answer multiple-choice diagnostic questions (or hold up A/B/C/D cards in class). Handwriting input is not stated.[2,3] |
| Misconception-level feedback | Stated | The core of the product: every distractor is written by learning designers, and teachers see misconceptions broken down by wrong answer.[2,3] |
| Prerequisite gap filling | Partly | Predicts and helps resolve misconceptions, and suggests a lesson when a student is struggling.[1,4] |
| Curriculum fit | Partly | Covers multiple curricula, with a curriculum mapping page.[4] |
| Language support | Not stated | Not stated. Ask Eedi.[2] |
| Teacher reporting you can use tomorrow | Partly | Whole-class data and misconception breakdowns from each quiz.[3] |
| Published evidence | Stated | Reports randomized trials, including a 2026 trial of 1,179 students in which AI tutoring matched human tutoring in the lesson.[1,5] |
| Pricing | — | Eedi's school site says personalised learning is free; paid live tutoring has no published price.[4] |
