Selections Overview

Create selections, upload resources, and view your learning history.

What are Selections?

Selections are focused learning topics. When you start a session, choose a selection (like "Chemistry" or "Calculus") and Phil tailors his teaching to that area.

Each selection tracks your progress, stores session history, and can include custom resources that Phil references during sessions.

Creating a Selection

  1. Go to Selections in your dashboard
  2. Click "Create New Selection"
  3. Give it a name (e.g., "AP Chemistry", "Data Structures")
  4. Add an optional description
  5. Choose an emoji icon
  6. Save

Uploading Materials
