Zhou Yu nodded and said nothing more.

It must be said that if Wang Jingqi is there to help the child with his homework after the tutoring class, then this job will indeed be a lot easier. Boss Xu really thinks a lot.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but look at Xu Li, who was pretending to read attentively but was actually paying attention to them.

Seeing Xu Li like this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Although this child's foundation is a little better than Wang Jingqi's when he was first assigned to Zhou Yu's class, it must be said that based on his concentration and perseverance, it can be basically judged that Wang Jingqi can never endure the hardship.

But think about it, the family financial situation is already so good, if he still works as hard as Wang Jingqi did back then, wouldn't it be a shame to Xu Li's father for all the wealth he had saved for nothing?

"Teacher Zhou, you're here!" Seeing Zhou Yu walking to his side, Xu Li pretended to have just noticed him, raised his head, and greeted Zhou Yu with a silly smile.

Zhou Yu didn't point it out, but just looked at Xu Li and smiled, motioning Xu Li to give him the book.

"Mathematics Compulsory Course 2?!" After Zhou Yu took the book that Xu Li had just been reading and took a look at it, he knew which textbook Xu Li was reading.

When Zhou Yu found out that the kid was actually reading the Mathematics Compulsory Course 2, he put down the textbook and looked at Xu Li with both anger and amusement, "If you were reading a political history book, I wouldn't say anything. For Mathematics, you have to practice exercises, you know? You can only learn the most basic definitions from the textbook."

Xu Li sighed, "There's nothing I can do, Teacher Zhou. My foundation is too poor. I can't understand a lot of the content in the textbook. I can only take out the textbook and study again!"

Hearing Xu Li's words, Zhou Yu nodded in agreement.

Well, I can see that your foundation is indeed poor.

but......

"Although your foundation is poor, mathematics is a different subject! It's just what I mentioned, you can read books, but you can't just read books, do you know that?" Zhou Yu held the mathematics textbook in his hand, looked down at Xu Li, and said earnestly.

"You do need to read the textbooks, that's true. But you have to understand the contents of the textbooks thoroughly! There's a saying that goes, understanding the contents of the textbooks thoroughly is better than doing a thousand questions!"

"So when teachers and parents ask them to do exercises, many people use this as an excuse, saying, 'Teacher, look, they all say that if you thoroughly understand the content of the textbook, it is better than doing a thousand exercises! So it is right for me not to do exercises!'"

"But when he said this, didn't he think about the point of this sentence, that is, to thoroughly understand the content of the textbook? How can you thoroughly understand the content of the textbook if you don't do the exercises? In conjunction with the content of the textbook, from the basic questions combining definitions at the beginning, to the various large questions of gradually deepening difficulty."

"Only in this way, the richer the question bank in your mind, the greater the probability of you being able to answer difficult questions and the lower the probability of losing points. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Li looked at Zhou Yu in a daze, then nodded in confusion, "I understand, teacher. But, in our class, there are several people who don't do much practice! They don't really listen in class, so how come their grades are still so good?"

Zhou Yu: “…”

"Xu Li," Zhou Yu tried to explain to Xu Li in a more tactful way, "Let's not talk about it first. Everyone's situation is different. Maybe this person is born with a better foundation?"

"Secondly, how do you know that even though he doesn't study on the surface, he won't study hard after he goes home? Did you install a camera in his house? What if he studies until 3 a.m. every day after he goes home, will he tell you?"

Seeing Xu Li looking a little stunned, Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Forget it. Tell me first, how do you study normally?"

......

Although Xu Li is a rich second-generation, it has to be said that Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang gave him a really good education.

Apart from his poor academic performance, it can be said that Xu Li really has no shortcomings. Perhaps this is why Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang are still willing to work hard on their child.

After Xu Li obediently told Zhou Yu everything about his usual study methods, Zhou Yu was a little stunned.

He basically did not memorize the Chinese texts, and his reading comprehension was based on his own understanding; he did not do much math problems, as he only understood half of many basic definitions; as for English, it was a little better, but the bad thing was that although he memorized some words, he did not memorize many.

Should I say it or not? Should I praise this child for his talent or scold him for his terrible attitude towards studying?

Zhou Yu couldn't help rubbing his forehead, "Hasn't your teacher ever told you that there's something wrong with your learning style?"

"Ah???" Xu Li scratched his head. "No? Is there a problem? Our teachers never told us about it. Usually they just told us to collect more questions and ask them boldly."

Zhou Yu muttered to himself, this shouldn't be the case, isn't Xu Li attending Jiahe No. 1 High School, a provincial key high school? The teachers in such a school should be very good!

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu's mind raced, and he decided to change the content of the first lesson.

Zhou Yu did not plan to start teaching the contents of the textbook in the first class. He planned to correct Xu Li's learning method first.

So Zhou Yu dragged a chair over and sat down next to Xu Li. "Today is the first day of class. In the first class, I won't talk about the content in the textbook."

"Your study method is quite problematic. Today I will first teach you the correct study method. Here, give me a pen and paper."

As he spoke, Zhou Yu extended his hand towards Xu Li.

Seeing this, Xu Li, who was standing by, quickly took out a notebook and a gel pen from his schoolbag and handed them to Zhou Yu respectfully.

After Zhou Yu took the paper and pen, he began to explain to Xu Li, "Like you guys before, is this a study method that revolves around listening to lectures in class and doing homework after class?"

"Every day at school, I attend classes, do homework after class, and do homework to prepare for the next day's classes. Then, after class, I continue to do homework... Over time, this has formed a vicious cycle."

"This vicious cycle leads to this learning method being useless and even wasting your time and energy."

Xu Li stared at Zhou Yu blankly and scratched his head. "It seems...it seems to be true. But I also learned this way when I was in junior high school. But it wasn't as hard as it is in high school!"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "There is an essential difference between the knowledge in junior high school and high school. I will explain this to you later when I have time. Now, let's continue."

"So, how can we change this vicious cycle and achieve a virtuous cycle? First of all, we need to prepare efficiently."

“Efficient pre-study should be easy to understand, right?”

"To put it simply, when you prepare for class, you must..."
