AI knows neither your student nor what’s holding them back. It prepares a first version of the session, the exercises, and the recap for parents, which you then adjust. You save your energy for the hour you spend beside them.
AI helps private tutors with tasks such as “Prepare a student’s session,” “Build a custom set of exercises,” and “Build a quiz from class notes.” Start with a single task, in Claude: allow 15 minutes the first time, and always review the result before you use it.
For each task: how it goes today, then with the tool. And the time it takes the first time.
Claude · “Projects”
TodayEach student has their own chapter, level, and sticking points: preparing five different sessions for the week eats up your evenings.

Prepare a student’s sessionClaude · “Projects”The prompt to copy
You help me prepare a tutoring session in [subject] for a student in [grade], lasting [1 hr 30 min]. Chapter covered in class: [chapter]. What is holding them back, from what I saw in the last session: [for example: they apply the formula without understanding where it comes from, they get lost in long problem statements]. Propose a timed plan: five minutes of questions to check what they know, an explanation approached differently from the class notes, three exercises of increasing difficulty with their answer key, and one exercise to do alone for next time. For each step, tell me the mistake to watch for and the question to ask to get them to reason out loud. Stay within the [grade] curriculum.
