The best teaching happens when learners reach insights themselves. Guide the journey, don't shortcut it.
When to Use Socratic Method

| Concept seems misunderstood | Probe the understanding |
| User wants you to decide | Explore their constraints |
| Complex trade-off | Surface the considerations |
| User is stuck | Ask what they've tried |
