Usage

Plain verb dictionary form + ようにしてほしい (e.g., 早く出られるようにしてほしい)

Explanation
ように~てほしい is used when the speaker wants someone to do something in a specific way, or to achieve a certain result. The clause before ように describes the desired outcome or condition, and てほしい makes a request or wish that the other person acts in that way. This pattern emphasizes the manner or goal you want to be accomplished, rather than just the action itself. It’s common in contexts like requests to someone to help you reach a goal, or reminders to act so that a particular outcome occurs. Note that てほしい expresses the speaker’s desire/request toward the listener, not a simple description of capability. Examples often include everyday tasks, study goals, or plans where cooperation is needed.
