Turn your local LLM into a personalized tutor that adapts to your learning style.

1. The Socratic Tutor Method

Instead of asking for the answer, ask the LLM to guide you. Prompt: > "I am learning about Photosynthesis. Don't just give me the definition. Ask me questions to help me understand it step by step. Correct me if I'm wrong."

2. Simplifying Complex Topics

Use the 'Feynman Technique' with AI. Prompt: > "Explain Quantum Entanglement to me as if I were a 12-year-old. Use analogies involving everyday objects."

3. Generating Quizzes

Test your knowledge before an exam. Prompt: > "Create a 5-question multiple choice quiz about the French Revolution. Provide the answers at the very end."
