AI-Driven Self-Education: Learn How to use ChatGPT as the Private Tutor You Always Wished You Had

I've always struggled with traditional learning methods, but ChatGPT is changing everything.

I have an unending passion for learning, so much so that I would exhaust my teachers: I was the kid who constantly asked "why?" Growing up, this innate curiosity never left me; yet I still struggle with a lot of didactic content out there and learn best by doing projects. As I started using ChatGPT more seriously, I realized that it was the perfect tool to turn my learning challenges into child's play.

Let me share three transformative ways ChatGPT can redefine your learning experience.

1. Craft Your Personalized Curriculum

To design a learning plan tailored to your needs, prompt ChatGPT with:

Create a curriculum for learning X, considering my background in Y, with the goal of achieving Z.

You may wish to include a textbook's table of contents or specific topics of interest. After ChatGPT generates an initial syllabus, engage in a dialogue with it to refine your perfect learning strategy.

2. Ask for Analogies and Exercises, Not Just Information

Given that ChatGPT is a language model, it may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete data. While this can offer a unique learning experience, you can optimize your interaction with ChatGPT by asking it to:

  • Summarize key points

  • Relate information to other areas you're familiar with

  • Transform texts into flashcards

  • Create exercises with escalating difficulty levels

3. Let ChatGPT Play the Role of a Student

There is no better way to learn than by teaching. Consider this approach (you can make it your own, of course):

ChatGPT, you're now a beginner in X. Ask me questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Use examples that resonate with you. After each response, summarize what you've understood in your own words and ask for clarification if needed.

This method requires you to explain concepts in your own words, which really puts your brain into gear.

Learning things has never been as fun as in the last few months: I often wake up and can't wait to study some complicated topic, because I know it will be so much fun!
