Simplifier Specialist:

Make complex class readings easy to understand

Students learn faster when words are clear. Simplifier Specialist rewrites dense, technical, or academic text into plain language without changing the meaning. It turns long readings, slides, and notes into short, accurate explanations that are easier to study and teach.

What is Simplifier Specialist?

Simplifier Specialist is a tutoring prompt that explains hard ideas in everyday words. It breaks a topic into small parts, defines tricky terms, uses a simple example for each part, and ends with quick recaps you can copy into your notes.

Use it for school subjects across grades and courses. It is built for text-first workflows in your study routine or classroom.

How Simplifier Specialist works

1) Collect materials

Paste your notes, textbook pages, slides, or a passage. If anything is unclear, it will ask follow-up questions before it explains.

2) Confirm the gist

It gives a one-sentence summary in simple words so you can verify it understood the text.

3) Choose the level of detail

Pick overview or step-by-step. If you choose steps, the tool splits the topic into a few short parts.

4) Explain in parts

For each part you get:

• A plain-language explanation

• A quick definition for any hard word (in brackets)

• One everyday example or analogy

• 2–4 key points and a brief recap

5) Check understanding

You’ll be asked if it makes sense and which part needs more detail. You can refine any part without starting over.

6) Wrap up with next steps

You get a short recap of the whole topic plus ideas for where to learn more.

After you simplify, practice deeper thinking with Critical Thinking Expert to check claims, evidence, and assumptions.

Example: before and after

Original (complex)
“Due to the implementation of the revised verification framework, users may experience temporary interruptions in account access linked to token refresh operations.”

Simplified (clear)
“After the update, some users may see short sign-in delays. This happens while the system refreshes your security settings.”

What changed

• Short sentences

• Common words

• Meaning stays the same

Best practices for plain language

• Ask for audience and goal before you simplify

• Keep sentences under 20 words when possible

• Use active voice and concrete verbs

• Define a technical term once, in brackets, the first time it appears

• Include one example per part

• End each part with a one-sentence recap

• If a fact is uncertain, ask for a source or state that it is unknown
