Short-Term Battle Prep School Excellia Launches Video Course to Master "Combinatorics"

On June 12, "Short-Term Battle Prep School Excellia," a prep school founded by the University of Tokyo, released "Hikaru Shiozaki Slices Through 'Combinatorics'!" as the first in its video course series designed to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and university entrance exam levels.

Hikaru Shiozaki is an editor for the renowned mathematics monthly "Mathematics for University" and his book "Rhapsody of Difficult Problems" is extremely well-known among students aiming for difficult-to-enter universities.

He also teaches at Kaisei Academy, and his teaching ability is second to none.

As the first installment of its courses designed to elevate students from "textbook level" to "a level competitive for difficult-to-enter universities," Short-Term Battle Prep School Excellia has begun distributing Hikaru Shiozaki's video course on "Combinatorics" in a lecture style of 5 sessions, approximately 75 minutes each.

Instead of memorization, the course focuses on understanding combinatorics from its fundamental principles of "why that formula works," allowing students to acquire the thinking methods and practice exercises applicable to past exam questions from difficult-to-enter universities.

As a special launch promotion, the course is being offered at a 50% discount until July 31. Students struggling with past exam questions in combinatorics are highly encouraged to enroll.

About the Course

Combinatorics may seem reliant on inspiration at first glance, but it actually has a solid framework for thinking. That's why Shiozaki's instruction, which goes beyond simply solving problems to ensure students can reproduce the solutions for unseen problems themselves, is so effective.

Can you derive all nCr-related formulas yourself?

What is most important in enumeration?

Can you rephrase difficult-to-count items as essentially equivalent different events?

By the end of the course, you should be able to answer these questions with confidence.

- Extensive video lectures specialized for admission to ultra-difficult universities

- One-on-one support from students of former imperial universities

Acquire the ability to study through ultra-short-term intensive 3-month programs

Without assuming long-term attendance, students can thoroughly learn fundamental study methods within a limited 3-month period. After setting personalized goals, students' thinking and scoring abilities are developed through original video lectures and exercises.

Upon enrollment, students begin with a weekend intensive camp. By immersing themselves in studying from morning till night, they solidify their attitude and resolve for the 3-month study period.

Extensive video lectures specialized for admission to ultra-difficult universities

At Excellia, experienced professionals create video lectures specialized for ultra-difficult universities. By sometimes delving into university-level content beyond the high school curriculum, students naturally acquire fundamental thinking skills such as "why this formula arises" and "why this theory connects."

Upon enrollment, all video lectures are accessible regardless of the enrolled subjects. There are no unnecessary lectures or courses forced upon students. Please utilize the refined and extensive video lectures as you would reference books.

One-on-one support from students of former imperial universities

All instructors at Excellia are students of former imperial universities. Instructors propose optimal video lectures tailored to each student's current situation.

After attending lectures, students receive individual instruction time with their instructor, where they receive weekly Q&A, learning progress management, and comprehension checks.

By combining understanding of fundamentals through video lectures with individual coaching and meticulous learning management, Excellia helps resolve concerns such as "I can't keep up with the lecture level" or "I'm unsure if my learning is sticking."

Excellia offers a flexible support system for受験生 (exam takers) by combining the best aspects of prep school lectures and coaching-style tutoring, which is rare for cram schools targeting difficult-to-enter universities.
