Chapter 13: Private Tutor One-on-One Guidance

Son, hurry up and get up to eat breakfast; even if you want to study, you must finish breakfast first, because studying originally consumes a lot of energy and nutrition.

If you can't even keep up with meals, that will really hurt your body, oh.

The next morning, Mother Wang Qin got up and began preparing breakfast; she originally thought she herself was already getting up very early, but each time she thought about it, she discovered that Li Mingyang had already gotten up early.

She furtively opened the door and took a glance; her son was not playing, nor was he lounging to kill time, but was studying earnestly.

Seeing this scene, Wang Qin even had the urge to burst into tears; her own son had truly grown up, oh!

Now he not only knows how to study, but even his self-discipline is outstanding; he doesn't need adults to arrange or remind him, and each day he can plan his study life very well.

So, after seeing this scene, Wang Qin had already secretly made up her mind.

Originally, the senior year of high school is already quite important; let alone now that our little rascal already knows you study, so I must take good care of him in daily life as much as possible.

At the very least, I must not let my son worry more about daily life; moreover, nutrition must be thoroughly considered, and I must keep up with my son's study pace.

Thinking of these, Wang Qin silently added many more thoughtful items to her originally plain and ordinary breakfast.

Only after the breakfast was ready did she gently knock on the door with very gentle movements and voice.

Got it, I'm coming.

Then, when you all arrive, Li Mingyang instinctively replied with a sentence, quickly tidied up his things and got up; from morning until now he has almost finished the amount of questions on a math worksheet.

His stomach was really a bit hungry; if his mother and others weren't at home, Li Mingyang estimated he would have already gone downstairs.

Sitting at the family dining table and seeing the varied breakfast on the table, Li Mingyang even unconsciously rubbed his eyes, wanting to see if he was hallucinating.

Has their family's condition become this good now? Even breakfast is so elaborate!

Although the items aren't that expensive, and can even be said to be common breakfast foods, the variety is perhaps too many—altogether there are five or six kinds.

pan-fried soup buns, Li Mingyang's favorite black rice porridge, fried dough sticks, soy milk, and even sliced scallion oil pancakes on the side!

"What are you staring at? Hurry up and eat breakfast; aren't these all your favorite foods? Even if you can't finish them, trying a bit of each is good."

"Just consider it a change of flavor, but remember to eat your fill; studying also counts as a kind of heavy physical labor, and it also consumes a lot of energy, oh."

Looking at his mother's expression on her face, Li Mingyang's gaze became even more dazed; is this really his mother? Does his mother still have such gentle moments?

Fantasy! It's truly too fantastical!

While eating breakfast, Li Mingyang couldn't help but slightly shake his head and sigh a couple of times; of course, he could only sigh silently in his heart.

He feared that if he spoke his words out loud, a slap would land on the back of his head the next second.

"How have your studies been lately? Are there any areas that feel particularly difficult?"

Not only was Mother there, but Father also quickly appeared beside the table; facing this miraculous scene, Li Mingyang truly felt a bit at a loss, wondering what this old couple was up to.

Logically speaking, it's rare to encounter a weekend when they don't need to get up early; they usually sleep until after 9 or 10, but now it's only just before 8:30.

How come both of them just got up?

"Studying... I haven't encountered any particular difficulties; as long as I review a few more times, I can basically understand everything."

"After all, there are plenty of supplementary study materials these days; if the textbook alone is hard to understand, self-studying with the supplementary materials poses no problem."

Li Mingyang, while taking big bites of the scallion oil pancake, answered offhandedly, and even his speech was somewhat indistinct.

I have to say, Li Mingyang suddenly felt that what his mother had just said was indeed reasonable; after this period of earnest studying, he felt his appetite was growing larger and larger.

Clearly, just a moment ago when he walked out of the room, he felt only a little hungry, but now after eating two bites, he doesn't feel even a bit full.

Moreover, he even feels his hunger growing stronger, and unconsciously his eating manner has become voracious, like a wolf gulping down food.

"Last night I discussed this with your mom; what do you think, is this approach appropriate?"

"We won't bring up the old topics anymore; after all, those are already past events, and since you now want to study hard, and the College Entrance Exam is not far off."

"Although from this month's effort we can see that even through self-study you could achieve quite good results."

"But I feel the efficiency of self-study is still a bit slow, isn't it?"

"So your mom and I have been thinking, should we hire a private one-on-one tutor for you? When you have something you don't understand normally, you can concentrate your questions when the tutor comes."

"I think this should have a good effect, at least much faster than you relying on your own self-study now; I don't know what you think."

I have to say, topics between men tend to come rather simply and directly, although one can see that Dad wants to be as tactful as possible.

But after sitting down, it seems there's nothing else to talk about, so they could only stiffly launch into a discussion about tutors.

Upon hearing this, Li Mingyang couldn't help but stare for a moment, a tutor? Or a one-on-one tutor invited to come home?

Regarding this issue, he really hadn't thought about it before, but the moment it was brought up, Li Mingyang felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

Just as Dad said, his self-study efficiency definitely cannot compare to having a teacher personally instruct.

And now there are only a little over two hundred days left until the College Entrance Exam, which is indeed quite tense; even more specifically, it's already less than nine months.

He wants to achieve his goals in the remaining time; perhaps having a tutor's help would be much better?

Perhaps the earlier part is still okay, after all the knowledge points are relatively simple, but as the math level advances later, Li Mingyang increasingly feels it's taxing.

It's not that he can't understand these things; rather, his efficiency is getting slower and slower.

Isn't that exactly the meaning of a teacher? For knowledge that he understands relatively slowly, the teacher not only has learned it himself, but is also likely to summarize some experience.

He can even link many knowledge points together, allowing his study efficiency to break through to a new height.

So after a brief thought of just a few seconds, Li Mingyang directly nodded his agreement:

"I think this can work, but my main subject right now is still mathematics; if we're going to hire, let's hire a math tutor."

"However, we must hire someone with a higher level, after all my current math level seems pretty good as well."

"If it's just an ordinary tutor, it likely won't have much effect on my current grades."

In order to avoid wasting time, energy, and money, Li Mingyang straightforwardly and clearly proposed his goal.

And upon hearing this, the old couple, although they wanted to say something, felt that his math grades were already decent; if they wanted to quickly improve grades, they should focus on other subjects instead.

But they were also afraid of dampening Li Mingyang's enthusiasm for studying; after all, they had finally glimpsed a bit of hope, and if they crushed that hope over such a trivial matter...

That would truly be the most uneconomical thing.
