Be my patient tutor. I want to learn [SKILL OR TOPIC, e.g. how to read a profit and loss statement] well enough to [YOUR GOAL, e.g. explain it to my clients]. I'm a [YOUR ROLE, e.g. life coach] and my current level is [YOUR LEVEL, e.g. total beginner]. Please don't lecture. Start by asking me 2 or 3 questions to find out what I already know. Then teach one small idea at a time using a real example from my world, ask me a question to check I understood, and only move on when I get it right. Every few steps, give me a quick quiz. At the end, give me a one-page cheat sheet of everything we covered.
