MC Squared Tutorials - kickstarting student success with Mathematical Consolidation Courses during weekends and evenings in Shanghai. Thank you for taking the time to visit MC2 Tutorial (or MC Squared Tutorials)  official Facebook account. These Mathematics Consolidation Courses are the designed to kick start student success at IGCSE, IB and AP Mathematics, with tailor made and original seminars complimenting what is being taught in the classroom and taking place during weekends and weekday evenings. Based in Shanghai, China, with a vast number of students attending a multitude of international schools in this modern city, the courses are designed to allow student flexibility in attending top-up classes ideal for important test preparation intensely covering key concepts in a small classroom setting, capped at no more than 10 students and providing participants with multiple opportunities to improve their performance in Mathematics.

From simple diagnostic assessments to gauge levels of attainment to instructional lessons involving interactive activities (such as collaborative learning and peer assessment) and a final summative assessment at the end of each session to measure progress, these courses aim to get the best out of your student’s abilities and are an invaluable source of preparation ahead of major exams. Furthermore, students will receive a certificate of participation recognising their attendance at each seminar.

With regular, tailored feedback a guarantee, students will quickly be able to identify areas of strength and be in a stronger position to recognise where and how they can improve upon areas of weakness. This could take the form of instant feedback via “do now” style questions which the students, with carefully guided feedback, may be able to self assess upon and, as mentioned earlier, receiving focussed feedback in the form of comments and advice on areas to improve upon through a final short and a balanced level of difficulty summative assessment at the end of each seminar. With research also showing significant benefits of peer assessment, there will opportunities during each seminar with students to work alongside fellow participants.

These flexible courses allow you as parents, alongside the students, to identify which areas of the main courses need particular focus. The aim of these seminars is to keep pace with where schools are in relation to their curriculum – so the seminars should cover roughly the same topics that are being taught in class at that moment! So this gives you the option to select which seminars to attend rather than committing to a whole block at a time. Details of the topics to be covered will be published well ahead of schedule and consideration will also be given towards requests for particular seminars to be created on topics of the students’ choosing!

With a competitive rate of 200 rmb/hour, each 3 hour seminar will have a highly experienced and qualified Mathematics instructor. Using the most effective teaching methods, students will be able to get the most out of these sessions in order to attain that best results possible.
