Welcome to THE study room!
Sessions might not be hosted every day but we will put in as much as we can, and due to multiple co-hosts, the session time will not always be the same.

If you guys have any questions about any homework, feel free to directly message us or other attendees in the chat for help!

Feel free to put the things you are looking forward to getting done at the beginning of the session and update us if you managed to complete them at the end. 
We will be accepting music suggestions!

*NOTE: Turning your camera on would be preferred; this series is intended for us to get our tasks done. We will be accountable to each other and ensure we are getting what we need to be done!

Intermediate Chinese Activity Group

55th session Sun May 12, 12:00 PM

In this series, we will choose different topics every week, discuss them, and play some games simultaneously. Chinese will be used as the primary communication language, but English is always used for support.
Two qualifications for this series:
1, you can understand essential conversational Chinese.
2, you can speak essential conversational Chinese.

If you are already fluent in Chinese, I don't recommend you join; the purpose is to build a comfortable environment for intermediate Chinese speakers. 

This series is open to everyone who needs practice!!!

The Name Origin of Days of the Week, Months, and Chinese Years

Ended Thu, Dec 28, 2023

Welcome, my dear knowledge seekers, this shall be exciting for you!

We will be hosting a series of sessions talking about the origin of the names for the seven days of the week(Sunday to Saturday), the twelve months(January to December), and the twelve Chinese years(mouse to pig...sounds funny?). 

Of course, a session will mainly have three parts: Days of the week, Months, and Chinese years. Additionally, I will be creating question kits from Gimkit.com related to the topics covered in our series and we can play them together both for fun and for refreshing our memory!

The time for the main sessions will be set for Sunday AND Tuesday 6:30-7:30 pm EST, with the addition of activity time such as playing Gimkit review games on Wednesday or Thursday 6:30-7:30 pm EST.

I look forward to seeing you in our session and promise that you will have a splendid experience!

Additionally, I am looking for one or two co-hosts for this series with the following qualifications:
1. You have some prior knowledge on these topics, at least the origin of weeks and months (the Chinese years part will be mainly my topic to prepare)
2. You are already an experienced tutor (have been a tutor for at least one month)
3. You can be sure that you will be free at the time written above.
4. You are comfortable working with people from all backgrounds.
(Message me privately if you are interested in applying, via Schoolhouse or Slack)

Pre-Algebra Bootcamp!

Ended Thu, Nov 30, 2023

Hello there! In this series, we will go through all the topics in pre-algebra as a group, each week. We will be following the Khan Academy format and here is how the sessions are organized. We will have 1 session to cover 1 topic in pre-algebra, and after 3 sessions of learning and going over new topics, we will have a study space/ hall type of session, where if you missed any sessions,  you can get caught up and if there was a topic you didn't fully understand, we can go over it. You can also come with any prealgebra homework questions! Attendance is optional for the study hall sessions. We will have one session per week unless that has to be canceled or delayed for any reason. We will add more sessions as we go.
Space is limited as this is a small group, so please make sure to attend every session; if you miss more than two sessions without letting me or our other co-hosts know, you will be removed to make space for other learners who are interested. 
Excited to see you in the session!

Chinese Study Group-Fun&Facts

Ended Sat, Feb 24, 2024

Welcome! Worthy Scholars who decided to tread the path of Studying Chinese! This Series is dedicated to being the lamp of your feet and the light of your path!
Study Plan:
In this series, I will combine practical communication skills with fundamental Chinese spelling skills for informative teaching, aiming to the milestone of helping you understand basic communication and pronouncing each Chinese Character independently with the support of Pinyin, the Chinese system of spelling.
For clarity sake, a session will have four major sections:
1, Communication skills: learning useful phrases and expressions, including some grammar.
2, Pinyin skill: learning the pronunciation of pinyin alphabets and the way they combine with each other.
3, Fun & Facts: learning some fun things about Chinese, such as dissecting a Chinese character, learning an idiom or slang, etc.
4, Chinese Q&A: Bring forward any question you have from the previous week's study or homework (if you have one), and I will help you solve it at the end of the session.
Other activities and things to know:
From time to time, I will add a session for special activities, such as Chinese poetry, folk stories, unique cultural aspects, or even calligraphy. Feel free to register just for these, but it won't be as much of them as the actual lesson.
Everyone is free to come, no matter what level of learning you are in. Even if you are Chinese, come in and have some fun; take a look and share some feedback, I would appreciate that a lot!
About homework, I will not assign any official homework, but maybe a few things for you to review over, I hope that you will make some progress.
I will be excited to see you there, it is great if you want to study, but it is also fine if all you want is some fun!

If the time is not ideal for you, tell me in the chat! I will see what I can do about it.

Here is a good resource for practicing Chinese, try out Duolingo! https://www.duolingo.com/enroll/zh/en/Learn-Chinese

Pre-Algebra Answering All Your Questions

Ended Sat, Aug 12, 2023

In this series, we shall answer all the question you have brought in and base on those questions, we shall discuss different topic in Pre-Algebra to strengthen up the skill. If there is not a lot of question, you can always ask for explanation on different unit of the course, I will do my best to explain it with you.
Since we will be answering each for your question in turn, where will be periods when some of you are not engaged in the session. To prevent that from happening, I would like you guys to join in the process of solving a question; It will not just make the process faster, but also it is a great way to prepare you for tutoring too, for I wish one day you will have the opportunity to tutor other too.
