8 prompts that turn Gemini into a personalized tutor, from Socratic quizzing to 80/20 compression

A thread sharing 8 prompts that turn Gemini into a personalized tutor: a learning-style detector that asks 3 questions first, a 5-level mastery blueprint (intuition → expert mental models), an example-to-pattern extraction method, an 80/20 compression prompt (4 key ideas, 3 mistakes, 2 shortcuts, 1 mental model), a multi-format tutor (summary, ASCII diagram, story, checklist), and a Socratic mode that asks 7 questions to expose misunderstandings before teaching only what you got wrong. The core idea: have the model diagnose first, then teach — replacing passive video tutorials.
