Ever wish you had a tutor that never got tired, remembered your mistakes, and explained things like you're five?
I built that. And I did it in a weekend—with GPT-4, some no-code tools, and a love for Python.

😩 The Problem
Learning to code can be lonely and overwhelming.
Videos are passive, courses lack personalization, and human tutors are expensive.
💡 The Idea
I wanted to build a GPT-powered AI tutor that:
- Creates personalized quizzes 📋
- Explains hard concepts in simple terms 🤓
- Tracks my weak spots and brings them up later 🔁
