  1. Choose one learning targetYour output: A learning target in your own words.

    Pick a specific concept or problem type from the syllabus. Say what you should be able to explain or solve at the end.

  2. Gather the source materialYour output: A short source pack and a confusion list.

    Use your notes, textbook extract or teacher-approved material. Mark anything you find confusing and keep assessment instructions nearby.

  3. Try before getting helpYour output: Your first explanation or attempted solution.

    Explain the idea from memory or attempt a problem. Use a hint when stuck, then attempt the next step yourself.

  4. Practise and inspect mistakesYour output: A checked practice set and a mistake log.

    Answer questions without the solution visible. Compare feedback with the source and name the reason for each error.

  5. Plan the next retrievalYour output: A recall summary and the next practice task.

    Write a brief summary from memory. Choose what to revisit and schedule a small follow-up session that fits your week.

6 prompts available

Plan · Student

Turn a syllabus into one session

Bring: Learning target, topics, available time and source materialOpen prompt

PROMPT

Plan a [minutes]-minute study session for [learning target]. Topics: [topics]. Course material: [notes or excerpt]. Include a brief recall attempt, one explanation or example, practice and an end check. Fit everything into the time available. Do not introduce topics outside the supplied material. End with something I should be able to do without notes.

USEFUL FOLLOW-UP

Shorten the plan to twenty minutes and keep the most useful end check.

Before you use the answer: Match the learning target and difficulty to your course.

Prepare · Student

Explain a concept in layers

Bring: Topic, level, source excerpt and confusing pointOpen prompt

PROMPT

Explain [concept] for [study level] using this course material: [excerpt]. Start with a plain-language explanation, then a concrete example, then the course terminology. My confusing point is [point]. Mark anything not supported by the excerpt. Finish with two questions that test understanding; wait for my answer before showing solutions.

USEFUL FOLLOW-UP

Explain the connection between the two terms I confused, using a different example.

Before you use the answer: Compare the explanation and terminology with your course source.

Practise · Student

Ask for a hint instead of the answer

Bring: Problem, attempted work and exact stuck pointOpen prompt

PROMPT

Help me work through this practice problem: [problem]. My attempt: [attempt]. I am stuck at [step]. Give one small hint about that step, without completing the solution. Ask me to try again and wait. If I make an error, explain the relevant idea rather than simply giving the final answer.

USEFUL FOLLOW-UP

Give a second hint that points to the relevant rule without doing the calculation.

Before you use the answer: Use this for permitted practice and follow your course rules for assessed work.

Practise · Student

Make a source-based practice quiz

Bring: Course notes, target skills and question countOpen prompt

PROMPT

Create [number] practice questions from these notes: [notes]. Target skills: [skills]. Include recall, explanation and application questions. Present questions without answers first and ask me to respond. Afterwards, explain feedback using the supplied material and mark ambiguous questions. Do not introduce unsupported facts.

USEFUL FOLLOW-UP

Give me one new question for each concept I missed, without revealing the answer.

Before you use the answer: Check the answer key against the source before relying on the score.

Review · Student

Find the pattern in mistakes

Bring: Questions, attempted answers, correct answers and sourceOpen prompt

PROMPT

Review these practice attempts: [questions and my answers]. Verified answers: [answers]. Source: [material]. Group mistakes into concept confusion, missing recall, interpretation and execution where supported. For each, show the evidence and one targeted practice action. Do not infer ability or intelligence from this small sample.

USEFUL FOLLOW-UP

Choose the two errors most useful to practise next and explain your choice.

Before you use the answer: Make sure the verified answer itself is correct and that the proposed practice addresses your error.

Review · Student

Build concise recall cards

Bring: Verified notes and confusing pairs of conceptsOpen prompt

PROMPT

Turn these verified notes [notes] into recall cards. Each card should test one idea with a short answer. Include cards comparing these confusing concepts: [pairs]. Avoid giving the answer away in the question. Keep course terminology and flag any missing definition. Give me a small set I can review in one session.

USEFUL FOLLOW-UP

Rewrite cards with multiple questions into separate single-idea cards.

Before you use the answer: Check the cards for accuracy and practise answering before turning them over.

03 / SEE THE DIFFERENCE

What a more useful result looks like.

Illustrative example: a student keeps rereading a chapter but cannot explain its main idea without looking.

Starting point

Read chapter four again for two hours.

More useful version

Write a two-sentence explanation from memory. Compare it with the chapter and mark the missing relationship. Work through one example, answer three questions without notes, then revisit the two questions you missed in the next session.

The revised plan produces evidence of understanding and a specific next task, instead of only recording time spent.

04 / GO DEEPER

Choose your next guide.

Use a focused guide when you need more examples or a longer walkthrough.

More starting points for this task.

Choose one prompt and add your own details.

Study

Give me a hint, not the answer

Work through homework with support.Open the prompt

I am working on this practice problem: [problem]. My attempt is [attempt] and I am stuck at [step]. Help me reason through it. Start with one small hint, wait for my response and increase support only if needed. Explain the underlying method after I try. Respect my course rules and do not turn this into a finished assignment to submit.

Study

Spot the gap in my explanation

Find what you understand and what needs work.Open the prompt

Read my explanation of [topic]: [explanation]. Compare it only with [course source]. Identify what is accurate, what is missing and what is incorrect, quoting the relevant source briefly. Ask one follow-up question about the biggest gap. Do not rewrite everything before I have a chance to improve it.

Study

Remember a confusing distinction

Make similar ideas easier to tell apart.Open the prompt

Help me distinguish [concept A] from [concept B] using [course material]. Give a small comparison table, one example of each and a memory cue clearly labelled as a cue rather than a scientific explanation. Then give me three cases to classify. Wait for my answers before showing solutions.

Study

Practise for an interview or viva

Rehearse explaining your reasoning aloud.Open the prompt

Act as a practice examiner for [topic] at [level]. Use [syllabus or notes]. Ask one question at a time, then give concise feedback on accuracy, clarity and reasoning. Offer a follow-up when my answer is vague. Keep this as practice, flag uncertainty and do not claim to predict the actual exam.

Study

Read a paper with more clarity

Separate the question, evidence and limitations.Open the prompt

Help me understand this paper excerpt: [text]. Explain its research question, method, main finding and stated limitations in plain language. Separate what the authors report from your interpretation. Refer to the supplied sections and flag what cannot be determined from the excerpt. Give three questions I should check in the full paper.

Study

Learn something new in 20 minutes

A small lesson you can actually finish.Open the prompt

Design a twenty-minute introductory practice session on [topic] for someone at [level]. Ask about my goal, then divide it into a short explanation, a worked example, a task for me and a recap question. Wait for my attempt before giving the solution. Make the session self-contained and flag any resources I need.
