+# 🎓 TinyTorch Instructor Guide
+
+**Complete instructor guide for teaching the TinyTorch ML Systems course.**
+
+## 🎯 **Course Overview**
+
+TinyTorch is a **Machine Learning Systems** course where students build every component from scratch. Students implement their own ML framework, then use their implementation to solve real problems.
+
+### **Core Philosophy: Build → Use → Understand → Repeat**
+- **Build**: Students implement functions like `ReLU()` from scratch
+- **Use**: Students immediately use `from tinytorch.core.activations import ReLU` with their own code
+- **Understand**: Students see how their implementations work in real systems
+- **Repeat**: Each module builds on previous work
+
+## 🚀 **Quick Start for Instructors**
+
+### **Verify Your System** (5 minutes)
+```bash
+cd TinyTorch
+tito system info         # Check overall status
+tito system doctor       # Verify installation
+tito module status       # See all module progress
+```
+
+### **Test Drive the Course** (10 minutes)
+```bash
+cd modules/00_setup
+jupyter lab setup_dev.py                    # Open first module
+python -m pytest tests/ -v                  # Run tests
+python bin/tito module export 00_setup      # Export to package
+```
+
+### **Verify Student Experience** (5 minutes)
+```bash
+python -c "from tinytorch.core.utils import hello_tinytorch; hello_tinytorch()"
+python -c "from tinytorch.core.activations import ReLU; print(ReLU()([-1, 0, 1]))"

+4. **Repeat**: Each module builds on this foundation
+
+### **Real Data, Real Systems**
+- Work with CIFAR-10 (10,000 real images)
+- Handle production-scale datasets
+- Build systems that actually work
+
+### **Immediate Feedback**
+- Tests show you're on the right track
+- Your code exports to a real package
+- You can use your implementations immediately
+

+
+## 🚀 **Ready to Start?**
+
+### **Your First Session**
+1. **Open terminal**: `cd TinyTorch`
+2. **Check system**: `tito system doctor`
+3. **Start module**: `cd modules/00_setup && jupyter lab setup_dev.py`
+4. **Follow instructions**: Complete the TODO sections
+5. **Test your work**: `python -m pytest tests/ -v`
+
+### **When You're Stuck**
+- Read the error messages carefully
+- Check the module README: `cat modules/XX/README.md`
+- Ask your instructor for help
+- Remember: everyone gets stuck sometimes!
+
+**🎉 You're about to build your own ML framework. Let's start with module 00_setup!**
