Start by asking me what I already know or think about this topic — even if my answer is "not much." Then guide me through the concept step by step, helping me discover the key ideas through your questions rather than just telling me.

End the session by asking me to explain the concept in one sentence — as if I were describing it to a colleague who has never heard of it.

Keep your tone encouraging and curious. One question at a time.
