What makes SmartStudy intelligent and special?
1. Flipped classroom
Besides providing the students with high-quality training for language tests and international education tests including TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, GRE, GMAT, etc., SmartStudy has also introduced "flipped classroom" from the US, which has also become very popular in China in recent years.
Different from traditional classrooms, flipped classroom requires students to watch videos well designed by experienced teachers and make full preparation before they start the class, and then discuss the difficult and important content with teachers in depth and solve problems with the guidance of the teachers. Flipped classroom proves to be a very effective way to learn, which can greatly motivate and inspire students.
In the flipped classroom of SmartStudy, the teachers, about 80% of whom graduated from top universities in the world, correct students' homework word for word either from long-distance or face to face, which are highly recommended by both students and their parents. SmartStudy will continue and improve this mode by establishing the base of recruiting and training foreign teachers in the US. Extraordinary foreign teachers will serve the domestic teachers and students by means of live broadcasting video of long-distance teaching as well as participating in the research and development of SmartStudy's high-quality courses. In this way, the progress of SmartStudy made in New York will in return further improve its teaching and researching. Thus, SmartStudy will benefit from its global distribution.
SmartStudy never stops making progress. So far, SmartStudy has cooperated with 77 high schools, 44 universities and 6 elementary schools in the US, sharing its teaching methods and philosophy with the American schools and learning from them at the same time.
Actually, SmartStudy has now become the internship base for American colleges and universities, which provides good opportunities for graduates to practice their teaching skills. Besides, SmartStudy also works with its American partners to provide teaching training and summer camp for many international schools in China.
What's more, SmartStudy always dedicates itself to creating a friendly and relaxing atmosphere for the students. Obviously, SmartStudy values students' wellbeing. Cafes, gyms, and counseling rooms are all available here. Thus, students can enjoy coffee, chatting and exercising with their fellow students and teachers in the spare time.
