Build a study buddy that quizzes YOU

Most kids ask ChatGPT for the answer and learn nothing - you are going to make it teach you instead.

  1. Finish the step above first
    01

    Name the thing you are stuck on

    Pick ONE thing from school that makes your brain hurt right now.

    Not the whole subject - one piece. Like 'fractions' or 'why the sky is blue' or 'past tense in Spanish.'

    Type it below. Be specific. This is the thing your study buddy will teach you.

  2. Finish the step above first
    02

    Say what level you are

    ChatGPT explains stuff differently for a 3rd grader than for a high schooler.

    Tell it where you are so it uses words you already know.

    Type your grade or age. Simple as that.

  3. Finish the step above first
    03

    Find the EXACT confusing part

    Here is a pro move: do not say 'I don't get fractions.' That is too big.

    Zoom in. What is the exact moment you get lost? Like 'I don't get why you flip the second fraction when you divide.'

    The smaller you make it, the faster you learn it. Type the exact part.

  4. Finish the step above first
    04

    Notice the lazy trap first

    Almost everyone does this: they open ChatGPT and type 'do my homework' or 'give me the answer.'

    Write down what the LAZY version of your question would be. The one that teaches you nothing.

    You are writing it so you can spot it - and then never do it.

  5. Finish the step above first
    05

    Tell it how YOUR brain learns

    This is where you bring your own taste. Some brains love pictures. Some love stories. Some love real-life examples.

    Think about a time something finally clicked for you. How was it explained?

    Type how you learn best. This makes the tutor yours, not everyone's.

  6. Finish the step above first
    06

    Pick a real-life example you like

    A good tutor ties a hard idea to something you already know.

    Think of a real thing from YOUR life that could explain your topic. Pizza slices for fractions. A soccer team for fractions of a group. Whatever fits.

    Type one everyday example you want the tutor to use.

  7. Finish the step above first

    Wake up your tutor

    Time to meet your study buddy. Open ChatGPT and paste the pre-prompt below.

    It tells ChatGPT to be a patient tutor that explains your topic simply - then it will start teaching. Read what it says back to you.

    Do not rush. Actually read the simple explanation it gives.

    what will really happen

    ChatGPT can sound clear and confident even when it is wrong - check it against what you know.

    Its first explanation is generic; it gets useful once you push it to fit YOU.

    It may forget the rules and blurt the answer - remind it not to.

    Open ChatGPT (new tab)
    You are the most patient tutor in the world, the kind who never sighs and never rushes. I am a student at about a [level] level and I am stuck on [topic]. The exact part that confuses me is [stuck_point]. Explain [topic] to me in the simplest possible way, like I am [level], using this everyday example: [example]. I learn best with [learn_style], so lean into that. Keep it short - a few sentences. Use plain words and explain any hard word the first time you use it. Do NOT quiz me yet. Just give me the clearest, simplest explanation you can, then stop and ask if I am ready for you to quiz me.

    Let it quiz YOU

    Now the magic. Tell ChatGPT: 'Yes, quiz me one question at a time.' Then paste the pre-prompt below to set the rules.

    It will ask you ONE question. Answer it yourself - no looking it up. Guessing is allowed. Being wrong is part of learning.

    Type your best answer to its first question below too, so you have proof you tried.

    Open ChatGPT (new tab)
    Now be my quiz master, still patient and kind. Ask me ONE question at a time about [topic], starting easy and getting harder. Wait for my answer before the next question - never dump a list. If I get it wrong, do NOT tell me the answer. Give me one small hint and let me try again. If I get it right, tell me why in one sentence, then ask a slightly harder one. Remember I am at a [level] level and I learn best with [learn_style]. Start with your first question now.

    Did you answer on your own, or look it up first?

    Explain it back in your own words

    This is the real test. If you can explain it, you actually know it. If you can only repeat it, you do not - yet.

    Ask ChatGPT to have you explain the idea back. Then type YOUR explanation below, in your own words, like you are teaching a younger kid.

    No copying ChatGPT's words. Use your own. That is the whole point.

    Open ChatGPT (new tab)
    I want to prove I really get [topic] now. Ask me to explain [stuck_point] back to you in my own words, like I am teaching it to a younger kid. After I explain it, tell me kindly what I got right and what part still sounds fuzzy, so I know exactly what to review. Do not just say 'good job' - be honest and specific, because I actually want to learn this.
    hold on - judge it, do not celebrate
    • Could you explain it, or only repeat ChatGPT's words?
    • What is the ONE part that still feels fuzzy?
    • Did the tutor teach how YOU learn, or just how it always explains?

    Write your proof-of-learning

    Finish this sentence for yourself: because of this, now I can ______.

    Make it real. 'Now I can divide fractions and explain why.' 'Now I can tell past tense from present in Spanish.'

    This is your finish line. Type it.

    Build your reusable tutor prompt

    You did the hard part. Now let's save it so you never start from zero again.

    This step takes everything you typed and builds ONE tutor prompt you can reuse for ANY hard subject - just swap the topic.

    Read it over. This is your study buddy in a box.

    Do the steps above and your Your reusable tutor prompt shows up here.

    Save your study buddy card

    Tap save to keep your tutor prompt as a card you can come back to.

    Next time math or science gets scary, pull this out, change the topic, and paste it into ChatGPT.

    One prompt, every hard subject, forever.

    Ship it to the class wall

    You made something real - a tutor that makes YOU do the thinking. Show it off.

    Post your study buddy card to the class wall with #Glunty so others can steal the idea (the good kind of stealing).

    Then go be the kid who actually gets it.

The class wall - share yours

You built a tutor, not a cheat sheet

You just turned a slop machine into a study buddy that makes YOUR brain do the work. Keep this prompt - pull it out any time a subject gets hard.
