Teach Me Like [Great Mind]: Learn Anything the Way the Greats Taught It

Finally understand it, using the documented teaching method of Feynman, Socrates, Einstein, Polya and more.

Generic explanations often skip the move that makes an idea click. Teach Me Like applies the documented teaching method of a great mind, such as Feynman's plain-language rebuild, Socratic questioning or Einstein's thought experiments, to the topic you're stuck on. You get a hook, a clear core idea, a worked example, a check question, an honest note on what the explanation simplified, and a source note on where to check.

For adults (18+). A learning tool, not professional legal, medical or financial advice. It never speaks as a real person and never invents quotes.

What you get

• A method, not a costume. Every figure is described in the third person, using their documented approach. Facts always come first
• Three ways to learn: a quick explanation, an interactive lesson that checks your understanding chunk by chunk, or a study pack (recap, 5 practice questions, flashcards, review schedule)
• Built-in method cards for Feynman, Socrates, Einstein, Polya, Montessori, Confucius, Aristotle and Euclid, and cards built on the fly for others
• A reality check on every lesson that says where the simplification breaks, so a memorable explanation doesn't become a wrong belief
• A source note saying where to check, with anything uncertain marked [Uncertain]
• Honest labels: [Their method] for a documented practice, [Adapted] for the method applied to your topic
• An offline check of each lesson for required parts, first-person voice, quotes, citation-like text, directive advice and length

Example

You write: "Teach me compound interest like Feynman. I'm a complete beginner."

You get (shortened):

• Header: Feynman, using his documented method (third person). Method: say it simply, then rebuild it.
• Hook: If you lend someone $100 at 10 percent a year, do you collect $10 every year forever, or does something sneakier happen?
• Worked example: Year 1: $110.00. Year 2: $121.00. Year 3: $133.10. Year 10: about $259.37, against $200 with simple interest.
• Check: What would the balance be after year 2 at 5 percent?
• Reality check: The snowball picture assumes a steady rate. Real rates change, and fees and taxes shrink the result.
• Source note, next step: where to check the method, and a spreadsheet exercise to try yourself.

More prompts to try

• "Explain recursion the Socratic way. Ask me questions."
• "Help me understand relativity with Einstein's thought experiments."
• "I keep failing at proofs. Teach me how to start, using Polya's method."
• "Make me a study pack on the French Revolution."
• "No figure in mind. Which method would teach me Bayes' theorem best?"

Limits

• It won't complete graded work for you to submit. It teaches the method and reviews your own attempt
• It cannot browse sources, so it never invents citations. It tells you where to check
• The built-in check covers form and safety rules, not whether a fact is correct or the method is faithful to the figure
• A figure's method is drawn from their documented teaching or writing, and simplified
