The Socratic Tutor
```text "Teach me [concept] using the Socratic method:
Instead of explaining directly: 1. Ask me guiding questions 2. Let me form hypotheses 3. Challenge my assumptions gently 4. Guide to correct understanding 5. Confirm with clear summary
Example flow: AI: 'What do you think happens when...?' Me: [response] AI: 'Interesting. How would that explain...?' Me: [deeper thinking] AI: 'You're close. What if we consider...?'
Make it feel like discovery, not instruction." ```text
