Teach Your First Concept

Teach Your First Concept

Your Challenge

Explain one thing you know well to someone who doesn’t—and make it click.

Pick any topic you understand. Teach it to a friend, family member, or even yourself in the mirror. The goal? Make someone say “Oh, NOW I get it!”

What You’ll Experience

In just 30 minutes, you’ll:

  • Break down complex ideas into simple steps
  • Use AI to find different teaching approaches
  • Discover what makes explanations actually work
  • Feel the satisfaction of making something click

This gives you the experience of teaching. The full project starts with planning your tutoring business.

The Simple Process

Step 1: Pick Your Topic (3 minutes)

Choose something you know well:

  • A math concept you finally understood
  • How to do something in a game
  • A cooking technique
  • A sports move
  • Any app or tool you use

Pick something you could explain without notes.

Step 2: Find Your Student (2 minutes)

Who will you teach?

  • A younger sibling or cousin
  • A parent who’s curious
  • A friend who’s struggling
  • Even yourself (record it!)

Someone who genuinely doesn’t know this yet.

Step 3: Plan Your Explanation (5 minutes)

Ask ChatGPT:

I need to teach [topic] to [person and their age/background].
They don't understand it yet.

Give me:
1. Three different ways to explain this concept
2. A simple analogy that might help
3. One hands-on activity to make it stick
4. What confusion to watch out for

Pick the approach that feels most natural to you.

Step 4: Teach It (15 minutes)

  • Start with “This is like…” (use the analogy)
  • Break it into 3 simple steps
  • Check understanding: “What part makes sense so far?”
  • Let them try the hands-on part
  • Adjust when you see confusion

Remember: If they don’t get it, that’s feedback on your explanation, not their intelligence.

Step 5: Refine Your Approach (5 minutes)

After teaching, ask your student:

  • What clicked for you?
  • What part was still confusing?
  • How would you explain it to someone else?

Ask AI: “My student understood [this part] but got stuck on [that part]. How can I explain it better?”

Your Teaching Checklist

✓ Did you make something complex feel simple?
✓ Did your student have an “aha” moment?
✓ Did AI help you find better explanations?
✓ Could your student explain it back to you?

Congratulations! You just discovered you can teach—and teaching is just helping someone see what you see.
