Same tutor, different learner, completely different answer.
A tutor that does not know who it is teaching is just a chatbot with good manners. This is the profile you paste underneath your tutor instructions. Same subject, same question, and the answer changes to fit the person in front of it. Free, no signup wall.
- The blank learner profile template, seven fields, nothing you have to think hard about
- Two filled examples: a nine year old and an adult, so you can see the shape
- The test question that proves the profile is actually being used
- Works in a Claude Project, a ChatGPT Project, or pasted at the top of any chat
The template, and what it looks like filled in
Paste the template under your tutor instructions, fill the seven fields, and save. The two examples below are the same template filled for two very different people. Compare them and you will see what actually drives the change.
The blank template
Learner profile: - Age or experience level: - Current skill level (what they can already do): - Goal (what they need to be able to do, and by when): - Attention span: - Interests (use these for examples): - Preferred examples: - How much help before showing the answer: Use this profile every time you explain, quiz, or give feedback.
Any subject, any learner. The last line is the one people skip and it is the one that does the work. Without it the profile sits there and gets ignored.
Filled in: a nine year old
Learner profile: - Age or experience level: 9 years old, fourth grade - Current skill level: solid on addition, subtraction, and times tables to 10. Gets lost as soon as fractions appear. - Goal: keep up with her class on fractions by the end of the term - Attention span: about 10 minutes - Interests: horses, soccer, baking with her grandmother - Preferred examples: animals, sports, food she can picture - How much help before showing the answer: one hint first, then a second hint, only then the answer Use this profile every time you explain, quiz, or give feedback.
Kids, beginners, anyone who needs the idea before the vocabulary. Notice the interests line. That is where the examples come from, and it is the field most people leave blank.
Filled in: an adult
Learner profile: - Age or experience level: adult, 34, returning to school - Current skill level: comfortable with everyday arithmetic and a calculator. Has not touched fractions by hand since high school. - Goal: pass a nursing program math competency test in 6 weeks, where fractions are used for dosage calculations - Attention span: 20 focused minutes at lunch - Interests: not needed, keep it professional - Preferred examples: dosage and measurement, real clinical situations - How much help before showing the answer: assume competence, be concise, only add an analogy if I say I am stuck Use this profile every time you explain, quiz, or give feedback.
Adults studying for something with a deadline. The help line is doing the work here. Assume competence means it stops explaining what you already know.
The test that proves it is working
explain fractions to me
Ask the identical question under both profiles. Watch the vocabulary, the sentence length, and the examples. The child version should reach for something they can picture. The adult version should stay concise and skip the analogies. The math itself has to stay identical and correct in both. If the two answers read the same, the profile is not being used and your instruction needs tightening.
The profile is the free habit. The paid packs go deeper: full prompt libraries, subject-specific tutor setups, and workflow chains you can run start to finish. One-time purchase, instant download.
