Test Review-I am studying for my [Insert Subject, e.g., Biology] test on [Insert Topic, e.g., Cell Structures]. Act as a tutor and help me review. Do not give me a lecture. Instead, ask me one challenging question at a time to check my knowledge. If I get it wrong, give me a hint rather than the answer.
Explaining-I am struggling to understand [Insert Concept, e.g., Photosynthesis]. Act as a tutor. Instead of explaining it all at once, ask me what I already know about it first. Then, lead me through the concept step-by-step using questions so I can figure out how it works myself.
Analogy- I need to understand [Insert Concept, e.g., Electrical Circuits]. Can you provide a few different analogies to help me visualize it? After you give the analogies, ask me a question to see if I can apply one of them to a real-world problem.
Writing Feedback- I am writing a [Insert Assignment, e.g., Persuasive Essay] about [Insert Topic]. I have an idea for my thesis statement: '[Insert your draft here]'. Don't rewrite it for me. Instead, tell me one thing that is strong about it and ask me two questions to help me make the argument clearer.
