# Learn something until it sticks.

Use AI as a tutor who waits for your answer.

## Why try this?

Answering a question exposes what you understand more clearly than reading another summary.

## What to bring

A topic, your current level, and source material if accuracy depends on a course.

## Your starting request

Help me understand [topic]. I already know [related idea]. Explain one small piece using that connection, then ask me a question and wait. If I am wrong, give me a hint before the answer. Use my supplied source when available and flag anything it does not cover.

## Illustrative result

This is an authored teaching example, not a live model response.

A short explanation followed by a question you must answer. The next explanation responds to your actual misunderstanding.

## Then make it fit

Give me a new problem that uses the same idea in a different situation. Do not show the solution yet.

## Before you use it

Try a final question without AI. Check explanations against course material; follow your school’s AI rules.

## What you are learning

The test is what you can explain after closing the chat.
