A tutor that's read every page of your actual course
Load your syllabus and lecture notes once (90 seconds), then quiz yourself on Chapter 4, get a study guide for the unit test, and get coached through your paper — all without leaving the chat.
What it does
Most AI tutors know everything about everything — which means they'll confidently explain a concept your professor defined differently, or answer a question that has nothing to do with your exam. Course Companion Tutor is different: you load your own syllabus, lecture transcripts, and readings once, and from that point on the skill operates strictly against those materials. Setup takes 90 seconds. The included course-companion-setup-guide walks you through dropping your files into Claude Project Knowledge (Claude.ai) or a ChatGPT Custom GPT — step by step, both platforms covered. After that, you have five modes you can switch between at any point: TUTOR (Socratic or direct explanation, referenced to the specific chapter you're studying), QUIZ (5–20 questions from your uploaded materials, with remediation for wrong answers), STUDY GUIDE (structured outline notes for an upcoming test), PROJECT COACH (draft feedback and guiding questions — not ghostwriting), and CONCEPT CHECK (paraphrase a concept and get corrected on the spot). Quizzes and study guides output as printable HTML; tutor and coach modes stay conversational. This skill is built for AP students cramming for the May exam, undergrads who can't afford $80/hr tutoring, grad students working through dense theory, and certification candidates drilling a specific topic bank — anyone who has course materials and wants a study partner that has actually read them. Load it once per course and reuse it all semester. Bundled resources include quiz-generation-patterns, socratic-teaching-patterns, and project-coaching-vs-doing so the skill handles every mode correctly from session one.
