Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit strong problem-solving abilities, positioning them as promising agents for Socratic teaching to guide students through step-by-step heuristic questioning. However, existing approaches typically adopt a one-problem-one-solution paradigm, restricting the teaching guidance to a single linear reasoning path. This design limits instructional flexibility, weakens error recovery, and restricts students' ability to engage in parallel thinking to explore multiple valid solutions. To overcome these, we propose ToST, a Tree-of-Thought Socratic Teaching framework that
