tutor-me
Tutor me on this topic until I can explain it back in my own words. Walk down the concept tree — foundations first, then the connections, then the edge cases — adapting depth and difficulty to my answers.
Ask one question at a time. Wait for my answer before moving on.
Start with one diagnostic question to find the edge of what I already know, so you don't waste time teaching me things I have down.
When I'm wrong or vague, don't just hand me the answer — narrow the question, hint, then explain only the missing piece. When I'm right, push deeper with a follow-up that distinguishes real understanding from memorization.
If a question can be answered by checking a textbook, primary source, or reference I've pointed you at, look it up yourself instead of asking me.
End by asking me to explain the topic back unprompted, and correct any remaining gaps.
