“This has happened many times, but we still can’t find a better solution…” Mu Min frowned, looking very anxious.
Wen Ruan took all of this into account and had a general idea of what was going on. She then suggested that they visit the various tutoring classes.
Once inside the classroom, Wen Ruan couldn't help but admire Mu Min's foresight. The more than one hundred students, mainly from the senior and junior years of high school, were roughly divided into six classes. Wen Ruan would pause and listen patiently for a while during each university student teacher's lecture.
I don't know where Mu Min found these talented people. Each tutoring class has its own unique characteristics and teaching methods. The students below listen attentively and the classroom order is very good.
What surprised Wen Ruan the most was Zhao Xiaoyan. In Wen Ruan's memory, Zhao Xiaoyan was usually quiet and reserved in the dormitory. When everyone got together, she was always the one who spoke the least.
But on the podium, she shone brightly, radiating confidence. She taught senior high school mathematics, and the usually taciturn woman used unique methods, such as rhymes she made up herself, to teach various formulas.
The students below the podium listened attentively and interacted with her from time to time.
"Doesn't she seem a little different from the person you usually see?" Mu Min raised an eyebrow slightly as she saw the surprise in Wen Ruan's eyes.
“It is indeed different, very good,” Wen Ruan affirmed.
Following Mu Min on a tour of the entire tutoring center, we returned to her office, a small corner on the southernmost side of the second floor.
After Wen Ruan settled down on the sofa, Mu Min looked at her expectantly.
Wen Ruan pondered for a moment, then, after organizing her thoughts, asked, "Senior Sister, have you considered reducing the number of students admitted?"
Mu Min frowned, straightened her back, and leaned forward as if listening intently.
"I just reviewed the tutoring center's current business model. Could we reduce enrollment now? Not that we'll stop enrolling altogether, but only those students with high academic potential..."
"Go on..." Mu Min's mind raced as Wen Ruan spoke.
"The college entrance examination is just a few months away. If we recruit senior high school students now, it will be difficult to significantly improve their grades. Therefore, we need to recruit students in a targeted manner, and we can recruit students who have a serious attitude towards learning and have great potential for academic improvement."
"Perhaps we could set up an exam, because this isn't just a simple cram school, but a program specifically designed to improve students' scores for the college entrance exam..."
"Improving college entrance examination scores is the main goal. In addition, we should not give up on students whose scores have great potential for improvement. We can set up an agreement with parents, such as a certain score for the final exam or college entrance examination, which is considered a qualified tutoring class. Otherwise, half or one-third of the tuition fee will be refunded."
"I think this would provide some relief for both parents and students, and also increase their trust in the tutoring center..."
Wen Ruan then proposed a class division system for tutoring classes, which combines fast and slow classes based on students' progress and their ability to absorb knowledge.
In terms of business model, a VIP model can also be adopted, with small class teaching and hiring experienced teachers or those who have taught many outstanding students as tutors, but the fees are relatively high...
Mu Min's thoughts followed Wen Ruan's words, and her eyes grew brighter the more she listened.
Finally, after Wen Ruan finished expressing her opinion, Mu Min excitedly grasped her hand: "I knew it! It was the right decision to ask you to take a look!"
Wen Ruan felt a little embarrassed by Mu Min's strong reaction. This kind of marketing strategy is very common in modern times. She was just applying the existing model of tutoring classes to the various "civil service exam" institutions of today...
Although Wen Ruan has never enrolled in any "civil service exam" organizations, she has certainly been a follower of online gossip and has browsed through various posts.
Afterwards, Mu Min and Wen Ruan discussed various implementation details. Wen Ruan arrived at nine o'clock in the morning and the two of them did not finish their discussion until after noon.
After thorough discussions on all aspects, Mu Min exclaimed, "Some people are just so clever! They solved a major problem that had stumped us for so long, but you solved it in just one morning!"
Wen Ruan was a little embarrassed: "It's okay, as long as it helps you, that's fine. I don't know if what I said is right or wrong, so please don't mind..."
Mu Min felt that Wen Ruan was too modest, and kept affirming her. Then he took out seven ten-yuan bills and handed them to Wen Ruan.
Wen Ruan was shocked and quickly declined, knowing that this was a considerable sum of money in those days.
"Here, this is what you deserve. I told you before that it would be five yuan per lesson, but since you came to help today, I'll pay you according to the hourly rate, which is seven lessons, so it's thirty-five yuan..."
“But I benefited a lot from this course. The knowledge I gained is something that money can’t easily buy, so I gave you double. In the end, I’m the one who took advantage of you. I just hope you don’t mind…” Mu Min said earnestly.
After repeated refusals, Wen Ruan had no choice but to accept it.
Then, seeing that it was getting late and lunchtime was almost over, Mu Min quickly invited Wen Ruan to have lunch at the state-run restaurant.
During the meal, Mu Min asked, "Ruan Ruan, I know you're quite busy, so I won't invite you to be our tutor anymore."
"Could I hire you as an advisor for our tutoring program?"
"You don't need to come here often. You can come whenever you have free time. I usually don't have anyone to talk to when I encounter problems, so you're a good fit..."
