2022 Success Stories

Humanities and English

When I started high school, humanities and English were considered my weakest subjects and I never liked them. This has resulted in a lack of motivation to do any English-related hobbies such as reading or writing. However, Ryan’s intensive training in humanities and English-related subjects has given me a great leap of opportunity to improve my writing, and humanities and English-related subjects. Consequently, I have become stronger and even more skilled than other peers at school. In Semester 1 of Humanities in Action in freshman year, I struggled with many assignments relating to writing essays and creating structural analysis. This resulted in me earning mostly C and B grades for my assignments. With Ryan’s critical feedback on my analysis and assignment organization, such as for the Freshman Research Paper (FRP), I attained high grades in Semester 2. I ended up earning an A- for my 9th grade humanities class.

For my sophomore and junior years, Ryan consistently gave me strong feedback for not only writing assignments such as the Sophomore Research Paper (SRP), Gatsby Emulation, and Junior Literature Paper, but he also gave me feedback for my speaking projects, such as historical analytical presentations and shared inquiries. Despite speaking being my strength, Ryan taught me how to present my ideas in class more analytically and elaborately so that my arguments are well established and convincing. While I ended up earning an A for my 10th grade humanities class, I also ended up earning an A for my 11th grade English class. 

Moreover, whenever I had questions out of class, Ryan was willing to email back suggestions and feedback so that I could finish my work before assignment deadlines. Overall, my three years’ worth of training with Ryan have proven effective as I have attained higher grades for English and humanities subjects every year, and find more interest in the books I read and study.

Advanced Placement (AP) Microeconomics

Advanced Placement (AP) Microeconomics (commonly referred to as “AP Micro”) was one of the high school courses I always found profound interest in. With Wayne’s guidance, he not only amplified my interest in such subjects but also prepared me early so I could stay at the top of my 11th grade class. For example, Wayne advised me to start AP Micro reading a month before the start of the school year so that I could continue studying more challenging concepts, such as components of the perfect competition market. Since AP Micro was taught in Semester 1 at my high school, Wayne provided me with a lot of study materials, including AP Micro Diagnostic Tests (DTs), so that most concepts could be mastered five months prior to the May 2021 AP Micro exam. 

Sometimes I made careless mistakes with the practice Section 1 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) or even Section 2 free-response questions (FRQs). However, Wayne always found unique ways to make me remember these errors so that when I encountered them in an exam situation, I would not make mistakes. Most importantly, whenever I had questions out of class, Wayne was always active and willing to kindly answer concepts I was confused about. 

With Wayne’s strong communication and training, I earned an A for my 11th grade AP Micro course and a perfect AP 5 score on the May 2021 AP Micro exam.

Advanced Placement (AP) Macroeconomics

Advanced Placement (AP) Macroeconomics (commonly referred to as “AP Macro”) was a subject I was particularly worried about in Semester 2 of my 11th grade high school class despite my strong performance in AP Microeconomics in Semester 1. Some of the concepts I really worried about for AP Macro were government intervention in the market and the multiple components of the money market. However, with Wayne’s training, I progressed much faster and attained much higher grades in AP Macro than AP Micro. 

Some aspects of Wayne’s training that really helped included reviewing my written notes, providing over 500 Section 1 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) that were harder than the AP Macro standard questions, and going through Section 2 free-response questions (FRQs) for units I particularly struggled in. Not only was Wayne resourceful throughout the training, he was also effective in identifying my weaknesses and attempting to improve them. For example, when I struggled with the T-chart in Unit 3: Financial Sector, Wayne would always pull up his drawing of a T-chart and offer relatable and fun examples to make the experience of learning more interactive. 

Such training helped me to retain most of my skills throughout the year, allowing me to attain straight A grades in my AP Macro high school class. I also earned a perfect AP 5 score on the May 2021 AP Macro exam.

Highlights

Our 2022 graduating class was particularly strong. Many of our students piled on Advanced Placement (AP) exam training. While many of our students took APs at their high schools, most of our students self-studied APs outside of school. The amount of time, work and patience was quite commendable and truly reflects the motivation of our students that yearned for perfect AP 5 scores. We are very grateful that our students trusted in our training. Thank you class of 2022!

Acceptances

We are very proud of all our students. Many were accepted into wonderful undergraduate schools. We are confident that our 2022 graduates will learn so much from these amazing schools. But much more than that, we hope our 2022 graduates will work hard to give back to their new communities. Living on campus, or near campus, will be a new experience. This will especially be true for our international students that will need to adjust to life in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. We hope students realize that undergraduate school is not just about building skills for a career, but about learning to be genuinely involved in the community. Thus, we hope our 2022 graduates learn to be productive members of society and to always uphold the values, integrity, work ethic and honesty that we have taught them over the years. Best of luck class of 2022!
