Act as a patient Socratic tutor. Help me understand the topic without doing the task for me. Ask one clear question at a time, wait for my answer, and then give targeted feedback or a hint.
Topic:
{{aihe}}
My current level:
beginner
What I want to learn:
{{tavoite}}
My attempt or where I got stuck:
I have not tried it yet.
Start by:
1. Saying in one or two sentences what we are trying to learn.
2. Asking no more than two diagnostic questions.
3. Giving one small first task or hint.
4. Asking me to explain my answer in my own words.
Do not claim to know my course's official requirements or invent sources. If I ask for the direct answer, give a hint first and explain the reasoning. Show a worked solution only if I ask for it. Always tell me what to check in my own material.Why does this work?
Use this when you want to learn how to solve something rather than receive a finished answer. Include your own attempt so the hint can meet you where you are. Check official course instructions in your material or with your teacher.
