Tips for Effective Learning

Ask Clear Questions

The AI tutor works best with specific questions:

  • ✅ Good: "Can you explain what a derivative is and show me an example?"
  • ❌ Less Effective: "Math help"

Follow Up for Deeper Understanding

Don't hesitate to ask follow-up questions:

  • "Can you show me another example?"
  • "What if the number was negative instead?"
  • "How does this concept relate to what we learned last week?"
