Mathematics is one of the most fearful subjects for many students.
Some students may have a gap in their knowledge, which needs to be properly fulfilled. They often do not understand lessons because of the weak foundation. Professional math tutors begin with simple math concepts, allowing these students to make good progress and creating a positive impact on them.
Taking new approaches
Similar to solving math problems to arrive at the correct answer, some methods work for some but not for others. Therefore, professional math tutors ensure to assess the abilities of the young learners so that they can customize the approaches of learning according to the individuals' capability.
Giving space and time
Some students cannot rush through topics because they will miss out a lot. They can get stuck into a critical problem, and they might take a bit more time than others to learn a new method or lesson, which is completely fine.
Removing math myths
Some students have a misconception that either they are good at math or they are not. Such perspective discourages the children from understanding math. Professional tutors ensure to drive off such myths from children's mind.

【推荐1】Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork—everything from taking tests to researching a paper. But unfortunately, most schools don’t have classes that teach you how to take notes. So here are some tips.
Write down key facts. If you have a teacher who writes notes on the board, that’s good: You can copy them down. If not, write down the most important points from class. Does your history teacher mention the date of a key Civil War battle? Does your English teacher give examples of Shakespeare’s use of irony (讽刺)? Write it down!
Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may mention lots of dates and facts in class but only write the key ones on the board. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat a certain date or piece of information. After a while, you’ll get to know a teacher’s style.
Don’t overdo it. Don’t be crazy about taking notes. You’ll be frantic (慌乱的) if you try to write down every word that’s said in class. And if you focus too much on getting your notes right, you might miss important points. Some people actually learn better by listening, writing down a few key points, and then going over the material after class.
Ask. Don’t be afraid to ask the teacher to repeat something you miss. If you don’t want to ask in class, see your teacher afterwards. It’s much easier than wondering if you got the notes right as you study.
Compare. Keep your notes handy when you’re doing your reading homework.

【推荐3】From December 1st, 2023 to November 30th, 2024, visitors can stay in China for up to 15 days without a visa. Below are several easy steps for planning a first China tour.
Decide How Many Days to Stay
We suggest you take at least a week for your first trip to see the highlights in the top three cities: Beijing (3–4 days), Xi’an (2 days), and Shanghai (1–2 days).
To discover more of China, like charming Guilin and lovely Chengdu pandas, you would need a few more days.
Consider When to Travel to China
Things to do in Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai are seldom affected by the seasons.
Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are generally the most comfortable and recommended times for a China tour. They are neither too hot nor too cold, but fall is generally drier and warmer than spring.
A more ideal travel time for you could be March and early April or September when there are smaller crowds, favorable prices, and still good weather.
China is a good summer holiday destination too.
Consider Your Budget
The biggest cost could be international airfares. The cost of airfares from the US or Europe to China varies a lot depending on when you fly and which airline you use, from around US$1,200 to US$3,000 for an economy round trip.
The biggest price difference between the off and peak seasons is in the price of hotels and airfares. Prices in peak seasons can go up by 50 to 100%.
For a private tour, the average cost per day is about US$220–350 per person, including flights/trains within China, 4- or 5-star hotels, lunches, attractions, guides, and private transport.
We Believe Private and Tailor-Made Tours Are Best
With our private tours, you would have much more personal choice in how your tour goes. You could have more hand-picked and interactive experiences, like visiting a local family with your own local guide.
With private guiding and transport, we would make full use of your time. You could focus on the sightseeing you want to do, skipping what’s not of interest and the long queues in the most crowded attractions.

Some students at the Open University left school 20 years ago. Others are younger but all must be at least 21 years old. This is one example of how the Open University is different from all other universities. Its students must either work full-time or be at home all day, for instance, mothers of families. They do not have to pass any examinations before they are accepted as students. This is why the university is called “open”. The university was started in order to help a known group of people who missed having a university education when they were young.
The first name for the Open University was “the University of the Air”. The idea was to teach “on the air”, in other words, on radio and television. Most of the teaching is done like this. Radio and television have brought the classroom into people’s homes. But this, on its own, is not enough for a university education. The Open University student also receives advice at one of the 283 study centers in the country. In 36 weeks of the year he has to send written work to a “tutor”, the person who guides his students. He must also spend weeks every summer as a full-time student. Tutors and students meet and study together, as in other universities. At the end of the Open University’s first year, the results were good. 3 out of 4 students passed their examinations. If they do this every year, they will finish their studies in 4 or 5 years.
1. What is the best title of this passage?2. Why is the university called “open”?
3. What does the “University of the Air” in paragraph 2 mean?
4. Who does the known group refer to ?
5. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
【推荐2】Science can help you improve your study methods. For more than 100 years, psychologists have done research on which study habits work best. Here are 4 tips to improve your study habits.
Space out your studying
Nate Kornell, a psychologist at Williams College, thinks it’s a good idea to study the day before a big test.
Practice, practice, practice!
Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills.
Test yourself
Scientist Nebel suggests. “
It’s hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about? Why do they matter? Psychologists call this elaboration.

And it creates a bigger network in your brain of things that relate to one another.

B.Try your best |
C.Of course, nothing can replace studying with your mother |
D.The same should go for learning |
