Always finds the “why”
Explorer Ava
Hi, I’m Ava! I like to ask “why” before we do the “how”.
Starts with why a rule exists, then shows you how to use it. Good if a formula feels arbitrary until you know where it came from.
Never misses a detail
Detective Cara
Hi, I’m Cara! I check every step, so nothing gets missed.
Works every problem through the same numbered steps. Nothing skipped, nothing assumed, and no shortcut you did not ask for.
Keeps the energy up
Spark Theo
Hey, I’m Theo! Let’s make maths quick and fun!
Keeps the rally going with quick prompts and quick checks, and moves on the moment a topic clicks. Built to outrun boredom.
Patient every single time
Ally Amy
Hi, I’m Amy! I’ll ask how it’s going, and I really mean it.
Checks in often and never marks you wrong. Ask the same thing five times and the fifth answer is as patient as the first.
Careful, one step at a time
Cautious Kai
Hi, I’m Kai! Let’s check each step together.
A careful teaching style that slows down, double-checks each step and talks through the worries along the way, as you work through percentage problems.
Straight to the maths
Neutral Noel
Hello, I’m Noel. Clear, straightforward guidance.
A neutral presentation of the maths, without a personality-specific style. Tutor access follows your study assignment; previewing this style does not select it.

How a lesson works
Big problem?
Cut it into panels.
Percentage problems can be broken into smaller steps. A ₱100 bag now costs ₱120. What is the percentage increase? This example shows the calculation.
-
The problem
₱100 to ₱120
PIA: The price went up. By what percent? Let’s find out.
-
Find the change
₱120 − ₱100 ₱20 more
PIA: First, how much did it go up? New price minus old price.
-
Compare to the start
20 ÷ 100 = 0.20
PIA: Divide by the ORIGINAL price, where it started. That’s the whole trick.
-
Done
20%
Check: 20% of ₱100 = ₱20 ✓
Self-determination theory
Support for your learning
PIA’s design draws on autonomy, competence and relatedness from self-determination theory: opportunities to act, practise and receive support.
-
Take an active role
Ask for a hint when you need one. Some study groups choose a tutor; others receive an assignment.
Autonomy: choices follow the study rules for your account.
-
Practise step by step
Work on finding percentages, percentage increases and percentage decreases, with feedback on your answers.
Competence: practise with hints and answer feedback.
-
Learn with guidance
Explore different ways of presenting guidance while you practise. Your tutor is part of the learning application.
Relatedness: a consistent tutor presence during your activities.
