Teaching styles
The same topic can be taught many ways, so on scrimba.com/explain you pick who teaches it. Each style writes the lesson differently and narrates it with its own voice.
| Style | What you get |
|---|---|
| Explain | Simple words, small steps. The default: the simplest possible explanation, built on concrete examples. |
| Standard | Clear, well-rounded teaching. |
| TLDR | A few slides, straight to the point. The core insight instead of a full lesson. |
| Professor | Maximum depth, down to the bytes. How things actually work underneath: real memory, wire formats, engine behavior. |
| LOL | Funny and sarcastic, still accurate. |
| Per | Scrimba's founder Per, in his own teaching voice. Plain language, concrete examples. |
| Tom | Scrimba teacher Tom Chant, in his own voice. Plain and practical. |
Pick the style in the composer before you ask. The same question makes a different lesson in each one: ask for how DNS works from TLDR and you get four slides and the punchline; ask Professor and you get the packet bytes.
Where styles apply
Teaching styles are a scrimba.com feature. Explainers created through the @Explain Video Generator plugin or a coding agent are written by that AI in its own voice, so the style picker doesn't apply there.
