[Don't make a mistake! ] How to choose a summer course]
6It's the middle of the month! Many of you may be thinking, "What should I do about summer courses?"
1There is no doubt that being away from schooling for more than a month will have a significant impact on children's education, for better or for worse.
I can understand the feelings of parents who said, "I want you to have a meaningful summer vacation," and for that reason, I would like you to avoid choosing the wrong summer course, and this time,"Don't make a mistake! How to choose a summer course"I will explain about.
Please refer to it.
[1.Clarify the purpose of the summer course]
If you are attending a cram school on a daily basis from elementary school ~ high school students, I think that the cram school will distribute an "application form for summer courses" as a matter of course.
Then, without any worries, I signed and submitted the application form as a matter of course, and the summer vacation will shift from commuting to cram school.
But before signing myself, I once again at home"Purpose of the summer course"Let's clarify.
"Why do you participate in the summer course?"Are.
And the cram school's summer course isIt really suits your purposeAre you doing it?
For instance
・If your goal is to live a regular life (go to bed early and get up early) even during summer vacation,"There are classes in the morning"Is it a summer course or not? Look at the schedule and examine it.
・If the purpose is to review because you don't understand the units of the first semester,"Thorough review of the first semester"Is it a summer course or not? Investigate the learning content of the summer course.
・I want to start over from the basics in the past month! If that's the purpose"Thorough individual instruction in subjects that you are not good at"Is it a summer course of tutoring that will give you a tutoring course or not? Inquire.
・If your goal is to dig deeper into your favorite subjects, acquire applied knowledge, and become a source of points for passing the entrance exam."Guided by a professional instructor"Is it a high-level summer course or not? Find out the instructor.
・If your goal is to focus on preparing for the school of your choice, you can go to a cram school where you can thoroughly prepare for the school of your choice."Instruction by experienced veteran instructors"Or not? Check with the cram school thoroughly.
And so on...
I (the child)
"Why do you participate in the summer course?"
The main premise is to clarify the purpose and participate.
I think there is a trend in cram schools that say, "If you are a cram student, it is natural to participate in summer courses," but why not calmly ask yourself, "Is there really a possibility that you will be able to achieve the goal you are looking for by participating in this cram school's summer course during the long vacation of more than one month?"
At this time, it may be a good idea to participate in a summer course at another cram school that seems to meet your goals.
If you are not attending a cram school, do not apply easily by looking at DMs and flyers, but make an objective decision by clarifying your purpose.
I went to cram school in the heat, took classes somehow, and somehow finished the summer course! You need to be careful not to become a "somehow" summer study.
Whether or not you can make effective use of this one-month or longer vacation will definitely have a big impact on your learning after the second semester (for entrance exams if you are a test taker).
[2.Check the schedule of the summer course you want to participate in before applying]
Even if the purpose of the summer course is clear and you find a cram school that meets that purpose, avoid "applying immediately".
First of all, after confirming the contents of the summer course,Let them show you the schedule of the course.
Some summer courses are held all day from 9 a.m. ~ 8 p.m. (even if there is a break or lunch time), but this is not recommended.
Some parents think, "It's better to be restrained at cram school because you won't study even if you stay at home," but almost all of those expectations will be betrayed and the summer course will end (although there is still a grace period if this is 1~2 times/week).
The reason is"I don't have time to calm down and review at home."Because.
In other words, you don't have time to take home what you learned in the summer course and review it.
All I can do is go to cram school and take classes.I became "in a state of neglecting the course" and couldn't learn it at allIt is.
Unlike regular cram school studies, summer courses tend to be hectic and study various units.
The unit changes one after another, so if you don't review it at home, the learning content will not stick.
However, if you take a summer course for a long time every day, you won't have time to review at home, and in the end, you may end up regretting it after summer vacation, thinking, "I went to that much summer course, was it meaningful?"
The cost is quite large, and the result of spending a lot of money and a lot of time and effortBe careful not to be "disappointed".
It is important to have a calm thought in the back of your mind, such as "The cost of summer courses is a contribution to the sales of the cram school business."
[3.Check the course materials and instructors]
nextLet's ask them to show me the materials for the summer course.
If you look at the teaching materials, you can see the level and difficulty of learning in the summer course to some extent.
The students (children) themselves look at the teaching materials and say, "Hey~ I'm going to learn this kind of content! Do you feel attractive or not?
ThisThe deciding factor of whether to take the course or notbecomes.
If you get the impression that "it looks easy~", or on the contrary, you think, "I don't understand this at all!", please think that it is not suitable for your level.
AlsoDoes the content of the materials match the purpose of your summer course? Also a judgment materialbecomes.
Even though the purpose of your course is "I want to review the first semester", if the teaching materials are pre-study for the second semester, it is completely out of your purpose, so refrain from doing so.
The biggest point in how to choose a summer course is"Who will guide you?"Are.
No matter how wonderful the teaching materials are and the cram school is in line with the purpose of your summer course, it will be the result of a difference in compatibility with the instructor.
Who will be guided by the summer course? It is determined byIt is no exaggeration to say.
Be sure to research the instructor before applying.
In particular, summer courses have a great impact on cram school sales, so we will recruit as many students as possible.
The number of instructors tends to be insufficient, and there are many cases where part-time instructors (some of whom are student part-time workers or inexperienced instructors) teach as temporary instructors.
The misery of paying a large amount of money but being taught by an inexperienced instructor"Missing lottery"Please make sure that your parents join in and see through the position of the cram school.
[4. Receive an explanation of the general class flow]
If you know the instructor, the nextLet's ask the cram school about the general flow of the class.
What kind of teaching method is the time allocation such as instructor's guidance ~ exercises ~ explanation ~ questions? Please receive an explanation until you are fully satisfied.
Some cram schools are like study rooms that are called summer courses but just let each student do printing exercises.
If you feel that the teaching method is ambiguous and the time allocation is not clear, please go back to the beginning.
[5. Is summer course really necessary?] Ask yourself]
Finally, in the first place"Is summer course really necessary?"Are.
Students are distributed flyers for summer courses from the cram school, and parents are urged to apply for summer courses at the cram school interview, and they sign the application form as if they were hinted at and dedicate their time and expenses to the cram school in the hot summer for more than one month.
However, "Is that summer course really meaningful?"
・Everyone in the cram school participates, so if you don't participate, you will be left behind.
・I don't study at home, so it's better to go than not to go...
・Because the cram school instructor recommends it...
・Because I don't want to be hated by cram school...
・If you are participating in a course, you will feel like you are studying.
・What should I do even if I say I am studying at home? Because I don't know
Are you feeling like this?
Even if the cram school does not distribute flyers for the summer course
Even if there is no reminder for summer classes at the cram school interview
Have you decided to "apply for this summer course yourself"?
If you are not attending a cram school
Even if the flyer for the cram school's summer course hadn't arrived at home,
Even if you don't see the poster of the summer course in front of the cram school,
Did you open the door of the cram school and apply for the summer course?
If you have decided to apply or have applied, I think it will surely be a meaningful summer course.
It is said that "summer is the Tennoyama of exams", and this summer is non-negotiable for examinees.
This summer is a really important time.
For that reason
"How to study efficiently to get closer to passing the school of your choice?"Are.
The best way to study efficiently
Areas I don't understand, units that I'm not good at"Only"How to ask a mentor to teach youAre.
Summer courses are conducted at the same pace with the same materials among almost many students.
To put it in an extreme way, you have to keep pace with other students, such as listening to explanations even in parts that you can understand, and practicing parts that are not frequent at the school of your choice.
Anyway
Please choose a summer course by studying on your own in advance, dividing the parts you did not understand and the parts you would like to be taught in depth, and carefully considering an efficient study method that will guide you in a short period of time.
In order not to become a summer course that is "meaningful to participate" or "satisfying to participate", choose carefully, especially for examinees.
Again,
There is no doubt that "how to make effective use of the summer vacation time given to everyone more effectively than rivals!" will be the decisive factor in winning the pass among many examinees in next year's entrance examination.
one side
If you are not an examinee and can afford it, why not try to establish your own study during the summer vacation?
・Try to study one teaching material by yourself.
・Try to challenge yourself with videos and reference books even if you don't understand it.
・Research your areas of expertise and interests in your own way and dig deeper.
Even if it does not lead to immediate results in improving grades, what you have researched, researched, and pioneered on your own will surely be useful in the future and train your thinking skills.
Let's not make this a summer course where "because my friends sign up for the summer course", "it is meaningful to participate", and "it is better to take it than not to take it".
I hope that it will be a "meaningful summer course" for everyone and that it will lead to good results in your studies after the second semester.
