AI for DSA & Coding Interviews: The Tutor Mode Method
Most people use ChatGPT for DSA like this: "Solve this problem for me." They get a green tick today, then a blank stare when the interviewer changes one detail. This free course teaches the Tutor Mode Method: a simple way to use any AI (ChatGPT, Claude or any other assistant) as a tutor that makes you think, instead of a cheat sheet that thinks for you. What you'll learn: • The difference between using AI as a tutor and using it to cheat • Which AI tool to use for DSA practice • The 7-line "Guide Me" prompt that turns any AI into a tutor • A live demo solving a real interview problem (Number of Islands) in Tutor Mode • The 3 rules that make it work, and a 30-day plan to practise Includes 6 short video lessons, 3 written walkthroughs (Two Pointers, Trees and Dynamic Programming) and a fillable Tutor Mode Prompt Template PDF. Who it's for: students and developers preparing for coding interviews who want to actually understand DSA, not just copy solutions.
