Building Your AI Tutor 🤖
Want to learn Python? Astrophysics? Ancient Greek? You can tailor your AI tutor to any subject! This section shows you how.
Creating the Tutor
- Headline: Craft Your Personalized Learning Companion
- Explanation: Use ChatGPT (free version works!), Claude, or Gemini. Start a new chat and paste the provided prompt (see Resource Toolbox). This prompt sets the foundation for your tutor.
- Example: Let’s say you want to learn Python. Specify “Python” as the subject and your age (or a target age for the learning level).
- Fact: AI tutors can adapt to different learning styles, providing personalized feedback and guidance.
- Tip: Experiment with different age settings to find the teaching style that suits you best.
Customizing Your Tutor
- Headline: Fine-Tune Your AI Mentor
- Explanation: After the initial prompt, the AI will ask clarifying questions. Answer them for a more tailored experience, or simply type “Auto” for a quick setup.
- Example: You can specify whether you prefer a patient mentor, a problem-solving partner, or a mix of both.
- Quote: “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” – Benjamin Franklin
- Tip: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different settings to see what works best for you.
Bringing Your Tutor to Life 🗣️
Take your learning to the next level with voice interaction!
Voice Activation
