Chapter 14: Paying players progress lightning fast!
I found your foundation is pretty good; actually I think you don't need to keep grinding math.
After all, your current grades are what they are; even if you keep grinding, there's not much room left for improvement.
With that energy, you'd be better off conquering other subjects first; that would help your grades a lot.
The old couple's speed was not ordinary; after Li Mingyang agreed, the tutor could be said to have arrived at the front line at breakneck speed.
The promise was made in the morning; before lunch at noon, the tutor had already come to the house.
After a simple lunch, Li Mingyang again started doing a math test paper, but this paper was brought by the tutor, not prepared by Li Mingyang himself.
The purpose was to test Li Mingyang's math score and foundation, to see which areas were still weak.
But after finishing the whole test paper, seeing the bright red score of 132, the tutor's eyes unconsciously showed a hint of doubt.
Even though he clearly knew this was a chance to make money, he still couldn't resist giving a few words of advice.
After all, it's already senior year of high school, not long until the college entrance exam; rather than grinding math, which only has a few points of room for improvement.
It would be better to make up for other weak subjects; at least it could let your grades surge again in the coming few months.
"Teacher, my interest is still mainly in math; as for other subjects, I also have my own plan."
"But from now on, I'll have to trouble you a lot with math study."
The tutor the old couple hired looks like a young person not very old, at most in his twenties, under thirty.
He wears thick black-frame glasses, looks like they have a strong prescription, his frame is thin and weak, giving off a bit of a top student vibe.
Moreover, from those few sentences of advice just now, you can see he is absolutely an upright person, essentially considering things from Li Mingyang's perspective.
However, Li Mingyang's situation is special; after all, no one would expect he has a system on him—it's not that he doesn't want to make up other subjects, but the system doesn't allow it.
Without the template's boost, my progress wouldn't be as fast as in math; after all, learning other subjects isn't the same as math.
Once you learn it, you can only move forward; there's no possibility of regression.
"Alright? Since you're pretty persistent, let's thoroughly study high school math."
"I have to say, although your foundation is fairly solid and your scores are stable, this monthly exam you scored over 130, and this test is about the same."
"But from the mistakes on the test paper, it's clear you still have some shortcomings in high school math."
"We won't study the small points lost to carelessness; we'll mainly focus our energy on attacking these weak points."
"We'll strive to let your math score improve further in the shortest time, aiming to break into the 140-plus barrier."
Seeing Li Mingyang persist, the tutor didn't say more; after all, the tutoring fee his parents gave was indeed a good number.
Weekend tutoring: four hours Sunday morning, four hours afternoon, the pay is a full 100 per hour!
In other words, I only need to work four days a month and can earn 3200!
Such income is definitely not bad for this era; it means my teaching level is solid and I've gained some reputation.
Otherwise, I might not really be able to get such high pay.
Now that Li Mingyang in front of me insists on continuing to delve into math, as a teacher I certainly must live up to this pay.
Combining Li Mingyang's performance on the paper, the tutor quickly planned many knowledge points.
Even already gave Li Mingyang a study plan for the coming period.
And after finishing this work, only about twenty minutes had passed, based on the principle that time is money.
The tutor is still very responsible; after finalizing the plan, he immediately launched the course according to it.
In the blink of an eye, an entire afternoon, four hours of study time passed silently; when the clock hit six, it was time for the tutor to say goodbye.
"Tutor, goodbye; I look forward to our next lesson."
Standing at the door seeing off that thin, small math tutor, Li Mingyang's eyes were full of excitement.
I have to say the power of money is indeed great; compared to my original learning speed, with money's support and one-on-one guidance from the tutor.
Li Mingyang's originally slow-progressing math, now its progress has become efficient again.
Just an afternoon's work, just four hours, my math percentile has jumped forward another full four percentage points!
If it were my past studying, facing a not-so-smooth situation, just these four percentage points would take at least two days.
Even if the process went relatively smoothly, at least it would take a day plus a bit; however, now the total adds up to just over two hours.
After all, you have to subtract the time I spent finishing the test paper and the tutor planning the study schedule; the actual teaching time is only that little bit.
