Tiger
School: Xinghewan Bilingual School.
Admission School: Cadigan Hill School.
Although Tiger is only a sixth-grade pupil, his profound knowledge of the world is far beyond his age. Such students are naturally favored by American junior high schools. However, Tiger's biggest problem is that the time he has left himself is too short.
At the beginning of tight application
Emoko came to Biyi Education at the end of June 65438+1early October/kloc-0+10, and the deadline for junior high school applications in the United States was June 65438+February 15, which means that only a few weeks were left for Emoko, and at that time Emoko was no different from preparing anything.
After learning about Tiger's situation, Mr. Frances of Biyi Education helped him set the general direction of his application from the beginning, gave full play to Tiger's strengths, prepared for TOEFL and gave up SSAT. Therefore, he didn't choose schools that need SSAT scores like Fay School and Eaglebrook School.
Tiger's language foundation is quite good, and Biyi Education has arranged an excellent TOEFL teacher for him. In just a few weeks, his TOEFL score was 870 points and 895 points (out of 900 points), which can be said to be quite excellent.
On writing training from the perspective of organizational language
In the first in-depth evaluation with Tiger, Mr. Frances found the child's particularly obvious advantages and disadvantages. Tiger is a thinking child, and his thinking is quite profound. For example, when asked "What is your good subject", he would tell us: "I like science and society because they are widely used. Society is geography, humanities and history. After learning this, you will be able to better understand the cultures of various countries, and it will be easier to travel or do research. "
At the same time, his language organization ability is still slightly insufficient, and it may be more difficult for readers to understand his meaning. In response to his questions, Teacher Frances assigned him a series of writing on related topics to help him sort out the logic bit by bit and make Tiger's thoughts shine through appropriate expressions.
The training of Tiger was quite effective, and he successfully passed the written test of Cadigan Mountain Middle School.
An interview class that pays attention to every detail
"I think one of my biggest shortcomings is that I have a low voice and sometimes stutter." Tiger told me this in our conversation, but in fact, in our short interview, the boy spoke a little slowly, but he was clear and confident.
Interview is the most important part of the application for boarding junior high schools in the United States. Teacher Frances helped Tiger correct the problems one by one according to his situation. Let Tiger try to introduce himself first, and then take out every point and practice it again and again. Once the boy's eyes or movements have a little flaw, Mr. Francis will point it out in time.
After several weeks of intensive training, Tiger can introduce himself logically and clearly when facing the admissions officer of Cadigan Mountain Middle School, mentioning his favorite subject and favorite book "Do you think you are smart?". This extremely clever child really won the favor of the admissions officer of Cadigan Mountain Middle School.
In just over 40 days, while completing the school work, I have to face complicated preparations. Tiger is naturally under great pressure, but the successful boy said airily, "There are also good and bad pressures. It is good to have a certain amount of pressure, but it is not good to have too much pressure. "
Perhaps it is this indifferent attitude, serious and responsible attitude, excellent academic foundation and professional guidance that makes it impossible for Tiger to get the admission notice from Cadigan Mountain Middle School.
