In this project I'm working on, I'm supposed to commit my progress to a repo using pull requests, and every commit has to be in a different branch. The problem is that the last 3 commits were pushed in a single pull requests and I'm supposed to move them into separate branches each. I tried reverting and creating new branches but it got messed up and I'm back at square 1.

Wait...do you mean each commit has to be sitting on top of the same base in separate branches, or do you need three branche will successive commits? – Tim Biegeleisen Apr 05 '16 at 11:12

In this answer, I will assume that your branch is called feature, and that feature has the three commits in question as its three most recent commits.
Create a new branch from feature:
git checkout -b onecommit
Nuke the two most recent commits, leaving the first of three commits remaining:
git reset --hard HEAD~2
Now push this branch containing just the first commit to your repo:
git push origin onecommit
To obtain a branch with just two commits you would follow a similar process:
git checkout -b twocommits
git reset --hard HEAD~1
git push origin twocommits
