Learn something interactively, one checked layer at a time, instead of in a single explanation.
Why it works: The ask-one-question-and-wait loop forces interactive teaching; checking each layer before the next is what separates this from a one-shot explanation.
This is a message template. Fill in the blanks below, then paste it into the chat.
Teach me the following one layer at a time. Don’t deliver a finished explanation; build it up and check that each piece landed before adding the next.
What I want to learn: [concept or skill]
What I already know: [your starting point, or “assume nothing”]
Why I’m learning it: [context, so you can aim the examples]
Please:
Start with the simplest correct version, in plain language
Use a concrete example before any abstract rule
After each layer, ask me one question to check it landed, then wait for my answer
Introduce the jargon only once I understand the thing it names
If I get something wrong, treat it as a signal about where my mental model is off and aim the next layer there. Keep going until I can rederive it without you.
