EducationAssessment & Feedback3MediumTutor$ implied
A 1-on-1 online tutor cannot determine if a nodding student genuinely understands a concept or is just memorizing and repeating back.
Existing method of asking student to explain back is unreliable because it can be mimicked through simple repetition without deep understanding, especially in online settings without visual cues.
