For the students whose ACT’s English and Reading scores are over 25, if they do all of the teacher’s assignments, we will guanrantee they get AP exam score at 4 or 5. Otherwise we will refund the full tuition fee.
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
Java programming 9/19 – 12/12 9:30-12:30pm $600 (12 sessions) Saturdays

不要单纯参加托福考试 – 征服托福:得分制胜战略

作为一名英语教授,最近我最重要的工作是为研究生水平的国际学生讲授MBA商务写作课程。

在我教授国际学生的四年中,我知道了很多他们与英语的斗争,理解了研究写作和作文的概念,以及英语语法和标点的问题。當他们更多地听取我的意见和修改,使他们的英语和写作更好,他们变得越来越驾轻就熟。当然,学生们最关心的是那些在课程结束的时候能取得最好的成绩,并且可以写出看上去很像地道的美国研究生写出的文章的学生们。 Continue reading


认识你的角色 – 在申请大学时学生与家长的关系

申请大学的道路是关于如何阐述你的故事,所以这个故事一定要吸引人、有说服力、并希望能至少在某一方面呈现出独特性。

任何一个好的故事主角的定位都要很清楚,一定有英雄或女英雄、反派角色、德高望重的智者、忠实的跟随者及一些看似不起眼但却很重要的配角。通常当一个学生在写申请大学文章时,常常会有一些角色混乱的情况出现,这都会导致不幸的结果。因为一般大学采纳的是”全面性的复审过程”,这个过程是在寻找一个人的某些特质,而申请时的两个重要相关人要很了解并坚持他们的角色。

学生
学生是故事的主人翁,也是一个要用他们自己的能力和毅力面对很多难关及艰困的厄运英雄。所以必须要是一个强壮、独立、成熟、充满知识及决心的人。根据他们的经验,他们得到了克服困难的能力,进而让他们面对高中生涯的后半期及进入大学后能更顺利。

学生应该是他们自己未来教育的拥护者,他们应该能接近老师、家长及其他大人,并能用成熟、尊敬及有益的方式来对话,而不是以冲动来问问题。也应该有勇气独立行动并找到解决办法,因为这是他们的故事而不是任何其他人的。

学生应该为他们学业上的表现负责,并把他们不能控制的因素排除在外。他们应该能尽力妥善地处理他们的时间来完成作业,彻底读书并完成所有的作业。他们的组织能力要能让他们不会丢失一些”容易的分数”,像是忘记或迟交作业、不了解方向或时间安排失误。

学生应该可以在他们能力范围内安排他们自己的人生,虽然他们还没成年,但他们应该能了解尊重、责任、对错关念、诚实、自尊及勇气,这些是现实社会中所需要的素质,所以对于学生而言越早知道越好。

家长
家长是很重要的支持角色,家长在学生每一时期都抱着强烈的支持精神。他们从襁褓时开始照顾孩子,所以他们对于身为一个监护人、支持者及商量对象有着很强的使命感。现在学生开始独立,家长必须要让出空间让他们成长,并了解他们的角色必须改变。

家长应该为学生还不能处理的事情上当一个保护者,但不代表他们要在每一个情况下都当主导人物。孩子成长的一部分是他们如何处理困境,而我们再次声明,这是学生的故事。有时候,情况失控时家长可以介入,但他们天生的责任应该是指导、讨论、提问及鼓励。学生应该自行主导,除非有需要他们帮忙或协助的时候。

家长应该准许他们的孩子负责任。有很多时候家长都对孩子的人生照顾的无微不至,他们控制了每天所有的时间表、逻辑及所有的细节和工作。当学生长大了,家长应该学着支持并教导他们如何处理生命中日渐增加的每个层面,包括课业、杂事、交通甚至是打工。家长应该是提供成熟的监督及指导,但他们应该容许学生成长及尝试。只要学生用负责任的态度来面对,最后他们应该了解提供帮助是一个负责任的选择,而不是无条件的义务。每一个人都会在某一时间里觉得无法承受,所以这时家长就须跳出学生家长来帮助学生,而学生的工作则是从困境中学习,而不让挫败成为一种习惯。

学生了解他们要学习、成长、发掘并建立目标是很重要的。家长应提供爱、指导、鼓励及提供孩子生命的架构。如果每一个人都尊重他们的角色,也尊重彼此,那么最后的故事结局将会是胜利的。孩子即将踏上人生的下一个旅程,家长应抱着骄傲的心情来看着孩子长大成人。


高中生减压小贴士

现在这个时候,我的那些高中学生们多数都压力山大。他们奋力保持有竞争力的在校成绩,复习ACT或是SAT和SAT Subject,完成各种学校实践任务以及小测试和重要考试,奔走于他们的社区志愿服务,同时还要准备意向学校的申请。要在这样繁重的日程表里做到不慌不忙井井有条,对于很多学生来说都是个挑战。

这样颇为艰难的时刻,我总是不断提醒学生们要注意身体,注意在繁重的学习工作中减压。不希望他们在这准备申请的关键时刻感冒生病。以下是我分享给学生让他们插入每日行程表中的五条小贴士:

贴士1 – 短途散步

走路可以让头脑清醒,产生安多芬,减少压力荷尔蒙。

贴士2 – 深呼吸

深呼吸,或者在數秒內連做幾次呼吸,這樣有助於減少緊張感,舒緩壓力。深呼吸可以刺激副交感神經運動,幫助我們平靜下來。

貼士3 – 吃一些健康的零食

水果,蔬菜,堅果等這樣一些健康的零食能夠減壓並補充即時能量。比如香蕉。一根香蕉含有422毫克的鉀,有助於幫助人在緊張的時候降低血壓。

贴士4 – 音乐

聆聽古典音樂可以讓人平靜下來,降低壓力荷爾蒙水準值。這樣能夠減少焦慮感。

贴士5 – 大笑

大笑的時候人體會吸入更多的氧氣,身體會產生更多的安多芬,而安多芬可以讓人身體放鬆。


24字真言是社会主义的人权宣言

这段时间研读《联合国世界人权宣言》,发现国内强调的社会主义核心价值24字真言与《人权宣言》几乎完美吻合(只有“爱国”和“敬业”这两项阙如)。可见人同此心,无论中外。 Continue reading


个性的自由发展

从小学马克思的共产主义学说,就对这个概念很熟悉:在理想社会中,个性的自由发展是每个人自然的生活状态,没有人需要为五斗米折腰。个性的自由发展往往带来特别的创造性,成就了自我,也推动了社会 (也可能毁灭一个社会,或使社会大踏步倒退,如果是不受制约的独裁者所处的时代)。 Continue reading
