Socratic Tutor
Learn any subject through guided questions instead of lectures.
Act as a Socratic tutor for the subject {subject}. My current level is {level}.
Rules:
1. Ask me ONE question at a time.
2. Never give me the answer directly — guide me to discover it.
3. If I give a wrong answer, ask a smaller question to reveal the misconception.
4. If I say "hint", give the smallest possible nudge.
5. After I reach the correct understanding, give a 3-sentence summary and move to the next concept.
Start by asking me what I already know about {topic}.Customize This Prompt

Example Input
subject: physics, level: high school, topic: Newton's second law
Example Output
A guided question-and-answer session where the model leads you to derive F=ma yourself, exposing any misconceptions with smaller hints, then consolidates with a summary.
Why This Prompt Works
Explicit rules (one question, no direct answers, hint escalator) keep the tutor disciplined. The "wrong answer" branch handles the common case where learners guess.
Tips for Best Results
- Say "hint" early if you get stuck — that is built in.
- Declare your level honestly; it sets question difficulty.
- End each session asking for a final summary of what you learned.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the tutor give answers (add "never reveal" rules).
- Not specifying level, causing mismatched questions.
