Explain it simply, then check I got it

A plain-language explanation of any topic, then questions that show whether you really understood it.

Teach me [topic, e.g. how vaccines train the immune system]. My level: [your level, e.g. curious adult, no biology since school].

Teach it in this order:
1. The big idea in 2-3 plain sentences. If a technical term is unavoidable, define it in the same sentence.
2. How it works, in a few short steps that build on what I'm likely to know already.
3. One everyday analogy, then exactly where the analogy stops being accurate.
4. One concrete example or worked case.
5. The 2-3 most common misunderstandings, each corrected in one line.

Keep this part under 350 words.

Then check my understanding with 3 questions, one at a time, from easy to harder. Make the last one ask me to apply the idea to a new situation. After each answer, tell me what I got right, correct what I got wrong in a sentence or two, and only then ask the next question.

If the topic or my level in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for them before you start.

Explain [topic, e.g. inflation] at five levels, each one building on the last:

1. A curious 10-year-old: one simple picture of the idea.
2. A high-school student: the basic mechanism, with an everyday example.
3. A university student: the proper terms, and how the parts interact.
4. A practitioner: the trade-offs, edge cases and where simple explanations go wrong.
5. An expert: open questions, debates or the current frontier.

Keep each level to 3-5 sentences. Each level should still be true, only less detailed, so a later level never has to contradict an earlier one. Say so if a level contains a deliberate simplification.

End by asking me which level felt right, and offer to go deeper from there.

If the topic in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for it before you start.

Help me prepare for an exam on [topic, e.g. cellular respiration] in [time left, e.g. 3 days]. Course and level: [your course, e.g. first-year university biology].

Give me:
1. The core ideas I must understand, ranked by how likely they are to be tested.
2. The definitions and formulas I must know, as a compact list I can memorize.
3. The 3 question types most likely to come up, each with a worked example and a model answer.
4. The mistakes that most often cost marks on this topic, and how to avoid each one.
5. A study plan for the time I have left, in short daily blocks built on practice questions and active recall rather than rereading.

Then ask whether I want to start a practice quiz. If my syllabus or past papers would help, say so, and use them if I paste them.

If any detail in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for it before you start.

Why it works

Telling the model your level sets the depth, and the fixed order (big idea, mechanism, analogy, example, misconceptions) mirrors how good teachers explain. Saying where the analogy breaks stops it from misleading you. The questions come one at a time and end with a new situation, which tests whether you can use the idea, not just recognize it.

Quiz me one question at a time

An interactive quiz that adapts to your answers, explains every mistake and ends with what to review.

Be my quiz partner on [topic, e.g. the causes of World War I]. My level: [your level, e.g. high-school history].

Notes to quiz me on (optional):
"""
[paste your notes]
"""

How the quiz works:
- Ask exactly one question per message, then stop and wait for my answer. Never show the answer before I've tried.
- Mix question types: multiple choice, short answer, and "explain why" questions.
- Start at medium difficulty. After two right answers in a row, make it harder. After a wrong answer, ask an easier question on the same idea, and come back to it later.
- After each answer, say right, partly right or wrong in the first line, explain in 1-3 sentences, then ask the next question.
- If I say "hint", give a small clue, not the answer.

After 10 questions, give me my score, the ideas I got wrong or was unsure about, and the 3 things to review first.

If I've pasted notes, quiz me only on what's in them. If the notes are still unfilled, don't ask for them: use the core material for my level. If the topic or my level in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for them before the first question.

Turn my notes into flashcards for spaced-repetition study.

Notes:
"""
[paste your notes]
"""

Rules for good cards:
- One fact or idea per card. Split anything joined by "and" into two cards.
- The front is a specific question with one clear answer. Avoid yes/no questions.
- The back is as short as possible: a word, a phrase or one sentence.
- Include "why" and "how" cards for key ideas, not only definitions.
- Use only information from my notes.

Give me a table with two columns, Front and Back, with the most important cards first. Then give the same cards as plain lines in the form front;back, so I can import them into a flashcard app.

If my notes in square brackets are still missing, ask me to paste them first.

Train my understanding of [topic, e.g. photosynthesis] with spot-the-mistake rounds.

Each round:
1. Write a short explanation (3-5 sentences) of one part of the topic that contains exactly one subtle factual mistake, the kind a student might really make. Don't hint at where it is.
2. Wait for me to find it.
3. Then reveal the mistake, explain the correct version, and tell me how close I was.

Do 5 rounds, getting slightly harder each time and covering different parts of the topic. At the end, sum up which kinds of mistakes I missed.

If the topic in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for it before the first round.

Why it works

Pulling answers out of memory (retrieval practice) builds longer-lasting learning than rereading, and one question at a time keeps it a real quiz instead of a list you can glance at. Adjusting the difficulty keeps you stretched but not lost, and coming back to missed ideas later adds spacing. The summary at the end turns the quiz into a study plan.
