For teachers
Credit for the teachers who spot the mistakes
Every misconception Shadow Tuition looks for should start with someone who has watched a student make it. The teachers and centres who help build it are credited here, by name and with their permission.
No one is listed yet. The cards are placeholders until the first teachers agree to be named.

Contribute a misconception (opens WhatsApp in a new tab)One teaching moment
A sketch of how a teacher might use misconception information. It isn’t a real classroom, and no real teacher or student is described.
01 · Before the lesson
A parent forwards their child's weekly report to the child's maths teacher. It notes that recent working on fractions suggests the tops and the bottoms are being added separately.
02 · Five minutes, one student
The teacher asks the student to talk through one question aloud, without correcting them. The student says you “just add the tops and the bottoms”.
03 · The explanation
Instead of repeating the rule, the teacher folds one paper strip into halves and another into thirds, and asks what size of piece would fit both.
04 · Later
Practice keeps returning to adding fractions with different denominators, in new forms, so the teacher can see whether the idea has stuck.
What a teacher can use today
The service is built for students and parents. If you’d like to use this approach in your teaching, ask us how it could fit.
Available now
- Practice and diagnosis for Grades 6–12, CBSE, ICSE and state boards, on WhatsApp. A parent registers the student.
- Each wrong answer looked at for the misunderstanding behind it.
- A weekly progress report for the parent on WhatsApp.
- Tutors and centres can partner with us. Weekly reports for students you refer carry your name.
Contribute a misconception
The misunderstandings the system looks for should come from people who have watched students make them. If you see a pattern again and again, tell us about it.
Send it
Email us the misunderstanding you see, an example of the working it produces, and the class or topic where it shows up.
We review it
The team reviews every contribution before anything is used, and may come back to you with questions.
Credit, with your consent
If we use it, you can be credited by name on this site. Only with your permission.

A contribution could look like this
- The misunderstanding
- Adding the tops and the bottoms of two fractions separately.
- Working it produces
- (1 + 1)/(2 + 3) from 1/2 + 1/3
- Where it shows up
- Fraction sums, and later in algebraic fractions.
- What has helped
- Paper strips folded into halves, thirds and sixths: pieces must be the same size before they are counted.

Three ways to work with us
Shadow Tuition is founded and built by Rohan, a practising teacher in Gurugram.
Understand the approach
A conversation about how wrong answers are read for the misunderstanding behind them, and how that could sit alongside your teaching. No sign-up.
