SummaryParaTutor is a multi-agent LLM scaffolding system that distributes support across asymmetric roles in parent-child math tutoring. Parents receive strategy, language, repair, and phase scaffolds; children receive visual grounding. A study with 23 dyads (children aged 10-12) found it increased child engagement and shared understanding versus generic LLM assistance.
Why it mattersMost agent tools assume symmetric single users; this study documents concrete scaffolds for role-asymmetric collaboration, a pattern likely to recur beyond tutoring.
