Your Own AI Tutor
Generative AI is enabling a new era of personalized learning, where educational content can be adapted in real-time to an individual's skill level, learning style, and interests.
Creating Adaptive Learning Paths
You can use an LLM as a personal tutor. Ask it to explain a complex topic at different levels of depth, from a simple analogy to a detailed technical explanation. You can ask it to create a custom study plan for you based on your goals and current knowledge, and it can generate practice questions and exercises tailored to the areas where you are weakest.
The Socratic Method
Instead of just asking an AI for the answer, ask it to teach you by using the Socratic method. Prompt it with: "Teach me about photosynthesis, but do it by asking me questions to see what I know and guiding me to the right conclusions." This active learning approach is far more effective for long-term retention than passive consumption of information.
