Can AI tutor high school math? Asking how to avoid "get the hint, still can't solve it"

lxfater (107K followers) asks for advice on using AI to tutor a relative's high school senior struggling with math: re-explaining problems after school. The core worry is "the explanation looks clear, but the student can't solve it alone afterward." He's weighing two approaches — hint-only step-by-step guidance vs. repeated practice on wrong answers — and wants lessons learned from people who've tried.
