Completed ✓
Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
You can look beyond grades and hourly rates to consider trust, teaching style, personality fit, scheduling, and your child's concerns.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.
02
Set your fit and cost guardrails
You decide what matters most before tutor profiles, prices, or persuasive consultations influence your judgment.
03
Talk with your child before choosing
You invite honest input without asking your child to solve the whole problem or agree immediately.
04
Research and screen tutor options
You search for candidates who match the actual need instead of choosing from price, credentials, or convenience alone.
05
Interview tutors with one scorecard
You ask each tutor the same core questions so personality and first impressions don't overpower the evidence.
06
Run a short trial and make the decision
You test the relationship before making a long commitment, then judge the fit using observations rather than expecting instant grade changes.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Start with what you already know, even if your notes feel incomplete. You can leave the candidate section blank and use the first three resources to guide your search. Keep your child’s private school records, diagnoses, and identifying details out of the prompt unless they’re truly needed.
Advanced instructions
You can adjust the scorecard weights before comparing candidates. You can also run the pack again after interviews using exact tutor answers, policies, references, and trial-session observations. Keep facts separate from impressions so you can see whether a strong personality is masking a weak teaching fit, or vice versa.
Use this when
Use this when your child may need academic help, but you're unsure whether tutoring is worth the cost, your child is resistant, or you're concerned about finding the right personality fit.
