Three Key Points of TOMAS's Summer Intensive Training Camp
- Point ① Academic Ability-Based Class Divisions 5th graders are divided into 2 classes, and 6th graders into 3 classes based on academic ability. TOMAS staff provide support for questions, offering meticulous assistance to each individual. - Point ② Overwhelming Amount of Practice Students challenge themselves with 10 to 12 hours of practice per day. Even children who previously struggled with long hours of study can gain confidence. - Point ③ Mindset Reform for Exam Students Their attitude towards studying gradually changes.
