In my session I told the tutee to try to prove something and gave hints when he got stuck / warned him when he was going in a wrong direction. For me the most challenging part was coming up with the topic since I wanted to find something that the tutee would have a good chance of figuring out without having to guess a “trick”—in the end I just said “OK the trick is you just draw this one line here, now you have to analyze the diagram to see how it proves the Pythagorean theorem”.
