What’s the AP Human Geography course and exam?
APHG is a social studies course to introduce students to the systematic study of patterns and processes that have shaped human understanding, use, and alteration of Earth’s surface. Students learn to employ spatial concepts and landscape analysis to examine human socioeconomic organization and its environmental consequences.
APHG Exam consists of two sections. The first section consists of 75 multiple choice questions and the second section consists of 3 free-response questions. The sections are 60 and 75 minutes long, respectively. It is not necessary to answer the free-response questions in essay form; instead, points are awarded on certain key words, examples, and other vital aspects.

How many students take AP Human Geography each year in US?
Since its inception in 2001, the number of students taking AP Human Geography has grown considerably, from 97,762 in 2002 to 191,773 in 2012, making it one of the fastest growing courses. Many  students select it to get exposed to college-level work while they are in high school.

Why Human Geography?
The greatest benefit is that students who enroll in APHG course tend to perform better in their later AP courses. The benefits of taking the exam ranged from an increased performance on the AP World History exam to a belief among students that they were more prepared for the rigor and expectations of high school.
The fact that we allow students to gain AP experience at a younger age, allowing the students to focus on only one AP course during their first AP experience. At that time, it was expected that Honors/AP students take two AP courses, AP US History and AP English. Students who are first exposed to AP with two concurrent courses will often fall behind at the onset and spend the rest of the year playing “catch up.”

Is AP Human Geography really as easy as people say?
It is the easiest of the humanities AP Exams. Just read The World Is Flat, study the AP Barron’s book, and watch a lot of FRONTLINE videos. Apart from the memorization of vocabulary words in the Barron’s book, you need to learn a few concepts like the Demographic Transition model, the Von Thunen model, etc… these are not just things you memorize, but that you understand why they are. And that’s pretty much it. You should be able to pass easily. Maybe put some more effort if you want a 4 or a 5.

为什么要在校外学物理课

公立学校提供的科学课非常有限,通常一个学年只能上一门。通常如果要把科学课都上了,必须寻求学校外的帮助。

许多高中的9年级通常是上生物,10 年级上化学。如果11年级上AP 化学的话,物理要么等到12年级,要么就没有机会学了。事实上,在一些私立高中,也有不少公立高中,物理是9年级就可以上。其实,无论在台湾还是中国大 陆,都是先学物理,后学化学的。对数学程度好的孩子,8年级完全可以开始学物理。

美国物理奥林匹克USAPhO的比赛内容基本上是物理的AP 的内容,没有偏和怪的题型。虽然每个高中生都有资格参加比赛,全国每年参赛的学生都不多。如果要准备并希望得到名次,尽早学习物理就很重要了。机会都在自己手里掌握着。

申请像MIT,CalTech这样的理工科的大学,有物理课的成绩至关重要。即使申请其他大学理工类的专业,高中学过物理课也会增加学生的信用分。

我们特地开基础物理班,内容主要概括Honor Physics 和 AP Physics B。招收没有物理基础的学生。

It is a concern for many parents with regards to the limitation of taking science classes at public high schools including some private high schools.

Due to the restriction that a student can only take one science class per school year, students would typically take Biology at 9th grade and Chemistry at 10th grade. If they take AP Chemistry at 11th grade then there are only two options left for the Physics course: either taking Physics at 12th grade or simply do not take any Physics course at their high school. Physics is one of the required courses when student entering a College and majoring in Engineering or Science, therefore, many high students are seeking outside help for taking Physics class.

This is not the case in many private high schools or a few public high schools. In those schools, students can take Physics even at 9th grade. As matter of fact, education system in Mainland China and in Taiwan believes that taking Physics at earlier high school years will strongly enhance the student’s Mathematic skills as well as provide good science discipline training. Therefore, students in Mainland China and in Taiwan always take Physics first before taking Chemistry or Biology.

One of the high school Physics competitions is the America Olympiad competition (USAPhO). Most of the content of the USAPhO are based on Physics AP content. Very good understandings of basic concepts enables students achieve higher performance on USAPhO. However, not many student sign up for the USAPhO competition even though it is open to all the high school students. It is important to start early, take the Physics course as soon as you are ready. Study and prepare for the once a year USAPhO!

We, Spring Light Education, offer a fundamental Physics class. It is equivalent to Honor Physics and AP Physics B. For those students who want to participate next years USAPhO, we will offer USAPhO competition class after two sessions of the fundamental physics class. And for those students who are not interested in participating USAPhO, the fundamental will prepare you for the AP Physics or SAT II Physics subject test.

Java and C++ Programming Classes will start soon

    Computer programming的课程的需求越来越大。但是能够提供这样的课的学校并不多。即使有的学校提供这门课,很多学生还是很难选得上。
有了Computer Programming 的基础,对找Summer intern 以及以后上大学后的学习都会有很大的帮助。
在数理化奥林匹克竞赛都越来越白热化的时候,USACO (USA Computing Olympiad)的参赛者不过一两千人。能够出线得到奖牌的比例非常的高。
春晖教育有数位有教学经验,又有实战经验的实力派老师可以教授不同程度和类别的电脑类课程。我们提供以下课程。

Computer Programming class is very popular now, but our high school didn’t provide much of   Computer programming classes. And even school has Computer Programming class, it’s very hard to have the class.  If students has more knowledge of Computer programming they get more chances to pursue summer intern jobs and in the future will help their collage applications. Besides,One of the high school computer science competitions is the USACO (USA Computing Olympiad), now the competitors isn’t over two thousand , students can have a great chance to win a medal.

SpringLight provides  Computer programming classes and experienced teachers teach different level of students. Right now we provide those classes:

C++ – weekday 9/14 – 11/30 6:30-9:30pm $600 (12 sessions) Mondays

Some biology background recommended
Goal: improve GPA and AP score, reach USABO Open exam

Course description:

The class has two primary goals:

First, to prepare students for the AP Biology exam by

(1) covering every necessary chapter in the Campbell Biology 9th edition text,

(2) completing worksheets, practice problems and exams, and

(3) reviewing historically paradigm shifting experiments.

Second, to support students in their preparation for the USABO competition by

(1) covering every single chapter in Campbell Biology 9th edition text,

(2) completing a variety of practice problems, and

(3) reading and discussing a variety of supplementary materials.

As the class is three hours long, the first two hours will cover primary AP Biology materials.  The last hour will cover supplementary material intended to aid students who are preparing for the USABO.

This class is ideal for students who are studying independently for the AP Bio exam or for any student interested in biology.


Biology SAT II Class will start from August 16

Time: 8/16 – 11/1, Sundays, 1:30 to 3:30pm, $600(12 sessions)

The instructor Eddie Zhang’s students have seen score increases of 200 points within 4 weeks. They have all scored between 730 to 800.

Class Structure:
Every student takes a diagnostic test before the first class to identify areas in which they need most focus. Outside of class, we will give students a weekly practice test in addition to questions specific to the week’s topic. Class lectures will cover every subject but address some more than others according to student needs. For the final three weeks, students will take at least two practice tests each week and class will be tailored to answering individual question and reviewing problem areas.

  • 8/16 and 8/23: Cellular and molecular biology (15% on E and 27% on M)  Cell structure and organization, mitosis, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, enzymes, biosynthesis, biological chemistry
  • 8/30: Ecology (23% on E and 13% on M)  Energy flow, nutrient cycles, populations, communities, ecosystems, biomes, conservation biology, biodiversity, effects of human intervention
  • 9/6 and 9/13: Genetics (15% on E and 20% on M)  Meiosis, Mendelian genetics, inheritance patterns, molecular genetics, population genetics
  • 9/20, 9/27, and 10/4: Organismal biology (25% on E and 25% on M)  Structure, function, and development of organisms (with emphasis on plants and animals), animal behavior
  • 10/11 and 10/18: Evolution and diversity (22% on E and 15% on M)  Origin of life, evidence of evolution, patterns of evolution, natural selection, speciation, classification and diversity of organisms

About SAT Biology II:
The SAT Biology subject test is a 60 minute exam with 80 questions.
It measures your understanding of the major concepts of Biology and your ability to use these principles to solve specific problems.
Although taking the SAT Biology Subject Test is not a compulsory criteria in the admission requirements of some universities, taking it can help you demonstrate your interests and showcase your strengths in the subject.

Notes:
*The SAT Biology subject test is offered in Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, May and June
*Calculator use is not permitted .
*Problem solving may requires simple numerical calculations (you need to know Algebra, trigonometry, etc) .
*Measurements are expressed according to the metric system.
*Experience in the laboratory is recommended.
*Take Biology E(Ecological) if you are comfortable answering questions about biological communities, populations and energy flow.
*Take Biology M(Molecular) if are comfortable answering questions about biochemistry, cellular structure and processes, such as respiration and photosynthesis.
*Fill the appropriate section on your answer sheet for the test you have chosen and make sure you indicate whether it’s Biology E or Biology M.
*You cannot take both tests on the same test date, but you can take them on two different test dates.
*The SAT Biology subject test reflects what is normally taught in high school.However, due to differences in high school classes, some students will find questions on topics they’re not familiar with. This is nothing to worry about. You do not have to get every question correct to receive a perfect score (800) for the test. Many students do well despite not having studied every topic covered.
