What are the best examples of AI prompts to create a library for studying different subjects like history and science?
Stop getting generic responses. This guide shows you how to build Custom GPTs and create subject-specific prompt libraries to turn AI into a personalized tutor that understands any subject.
Ready to create an AI study partner that is an expert in any subject you choose? Keep reading to learn how to build your first Custom GPT and assemble a library of powerful, subject-specific prompts.
How to Turn AI into a Personal Tutor for Every Subject
Let’s admit it — no two subjects are created equal.
Math demands logic and step-by-step thinking.
Science thrives on examples and visualizations.
History requires memorable narratives and memory tricks.
Coding calls for hands-on practice and syntax clarity.
Literature… well, that needs a deep dive into mood, meaning, and metaphor.
Yet most students are stuck using the same generic tools and strategies for all of them.
The result? You get vague answers, too much repetition, or worse — robotic text that doesn’t “get” how you learn.
That’s where most students stop using AI for learning.
But what if the problem wasn’t the tool, but the way we use it?
Stop Asking. Start Training.
When you prompt ChatGPT or Gemini with general questions like “Explain Photosynthesis” or “What is the French Revolution?” — you’re asking it to guess what you want.
But if you trained it — like a coach trains an athlete — to respond in your tone, your pace, and your syllabus… you’d get magic.
This is where Custom GPTs and Prompt Libraries step in.
Imagine this:
- You build your own “Science Simplified GPT” that explains tough topics using diagrams and analogies.
- You store a set of prompts like “Turn this concept into a flashcard deck” or “Ask me 3 quiz questions, then explain the answers.”
- You now have a virtual subject expert, custom-built for how you think and learn.
It’s like assembling a team of private tutors — except they live in your laptop, and they never get tired of your questions.
How to Build Custom GPTs (for ChatGPT Plus users)
If you’re a ChatGPT Plus subscriber, follow these steps:
- Go to Explore GPTs > Click “Create a GPT”
- Name it: Examples:
- MathMentor GPT
- BioBite GPT
- CodeCoach GPT
- Add Setup Instructions like:
“You are a subject-specific tutor for [Subject]. You explain using analogies, examples, visuals, and always check for understanding. Avoid jargon unless explained. Stay friendly.”
- Optional Customizations:
- Upload your syllabus or PDF notes
- Add personal preferences like:
“I prefer emojis, pop-culture references, or simplified tone”
- Save & Pin — and it’s yours forever.
Now, whenever you start a session, your AI tutor is ready with the tone, structure, and support that fits you best.
Build a Prompt Library for Each Subject
This is your magic vault — a folder or Notion page with ready-to-use, high-quality AI prompts for each subject.
Think of it like your AI recipe book.
Sample Prompts by Subject
Math
“Explain this formula like I’m in grade 8, then give me a real-life scenario using it.”
“Ask me where I’m stuck before solving this problem.”
Science
“Break this concept into three levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced.”
“Add visuals or examples from daily life to explain osmosis.”
History
“Turn this event into a short story. Add characters and motivations.”
“Give me a debate — one speaker for the British Empire, one against.”
Literature
“Summarize this poem using 5 emojis and explain each one.”
“Give me a character analysis table comparing Macbeth and Hamlet.”
Coding
“Line-by-line explanation of this Python code. Add comments too.”
“Turn this real-life problem into a beginner-friendly Python project idea.”
Save them. Test them. Modify them.
And every time you find one that really works — add it to your library.
Over time, you’ll build a toolkit that makes you feel like you’re chatting with your own brain, but smarter.

Congratulations — you’ve just set up a lifelong learning system, powered by AI and customized for YOU.
Remember this:
AI can’t learn for you.
But it can learn with you.
When you teach it how to teach you — the learning becomes personal, practical, and powerful.
Build your GPTs. Save your prompt vaults.
And start asking better questions — because that’s how smarter students are made.
Let’s keep going. You’re building brilliance, one prompt at a time.
