Casual Study Space

28th session

Welcome to this study space! Feel free to take a seat and make yourself comfortable. • I'll get some calm music going! Please feel free to suggest music that you like. • We'll use the Pomodoro technique: 25 min studying + 5 min break. • Cameras don't have to be on—you're welcome to do it either way! • Please keep your microphones muted for the 25 min studying periods. We can come off mute for the breaks! You're also welcome to use the chatbox at any time. • Due to my time zone, this series is particularly American (Eastern) time-zone friendly, but you are welcome to join whenever you have time. • I'll not schedule sessions too far ahead in the future to avoid unforseenable schedule conflicts.

✨📚 The Ultimate Study Space Series 📚✨

6th session

This is a small group of friends focused on maximizing productivity and achieving individual mini-goals. 🎯 About the Sessions: 📅 I'll host 1-3 study sessions daily, ranging from 1 to 12 hours each. During this time, I'll be preparing materials and setting future goals. ⏰ To ensure a harmonious study environment, we'll only have notification sounds from the Pomodoro timer. 🌧️ We'll enjoy the calming sounds of rain in the background. 📖 These sessions prioritize individual productivity over homework help. If you need SAT or Math Q&A, separate sessions can be arranged in related subwords. 👥 Although you'll work independently, the group setting fosters motivation and focus, combating the distractions of solitary study. Techniques for Success: ⏳ Pacing: Pomodoro Method (25-minute focus blocks) 📝 Organization: Getting Things Done (GTD) Method 🎯 Suggestion: Apply the Priority Matrix and set mini-goals Rules: 🔇 During focused study sessions (25 minutes), please keep microphones muted. However, feel free to share updates during breaks (e.g. goals accomplished, new ideas, etc.). 🎥 Camera on is encouraged but optional.

Math Competition Preparation.

This group will work to prepare for any math competition that is coming up. Then, we will find competitions that would fit our requirements and would align with SchoolHouse.world's policy, such as no PII sharing. From there, we would have multiple activities including but not limited to, mock tests for competitions, try-outs for certain events, weekly or bi-weekly in-house math competitions, and we will even touch on advanced topics that only apply to math-competitions. This course will be a combination of rigorous mastery and practice. All co-hosts and hosts will also be participating as well as leading and teaching the classes! We encourage all those who participate to join #academic-competitions on the tutor Slack! For more information on how to join, contact @Aarav T.

This course is for students who want to improve their reading, writing, speaking, and listening comprehension skills. It is not lecture-based and consists primarily of students' practice. There will be a lot of repetitions in order to enhance the memory of the words and phrases. We will use Discovery Chinese and some other textbooks, but you do not need to buy them. We will mainly use simplified Chinese characters but may show some traditional Chinese characters to expand the learning.

Cams on is not required, but if you want proper critique on your technique is recommended! This session will simulate the experience you would have in a training dojo, with a 10-minute warm-up and 50 minutes of karate technique afterwards + a Q&A. It will be a very active session so ensure you have some space (at least enough to kick in front of you safely).

  • Why Competition Math is for Everyone

12:00 AM - 1:00 AM

Seminar: Why Competition Math is for Everyone

In this session, I'll reflect on my experience with competition math and explore the lessons we can learn from it—and why those lessons are valuable for all. Competition math can help you build skills that are useful for things beyond competitions, skills ranging from technical to general. Regardless of how you might feel about math (let alone math competitions), there’s something for you to learn.

About me: Kaleb has loved math for as long as he can remember and has been doing competition math since elementary school. He’s qualified for USAMO, placed top 10 at BMT and SMT Individual Rounds, and been on the Distinguished Honor Roll for multiple AMCs. Kaleb enjoys helping others with math and has worked with hundreds of students as a coach for a local middle school math team and as a volunteer here on Schoolhouse. Though he’s mocked nearly every AMC 8/10/12, it’s still exciting for him to see how suddenly and creatively solutions to tough problems can be found. Kaleb also loves music and philosophy—he plays cello, possesses some (rather shaky) piano skills, and has a reading list that’s way too long to be finished.
