Mechanics/Maths Classes

The students were gradually immersed into these two subjects by Richard (Maths) and Doug (Mechanics). The first classes consist of a general introduction by both teachers about their background and getting the students use to their pronunciation. The teachers also find out a little about the students. These classes help build rapport in the class. A little bit of the engineering specifics were touched upon, which will form the basis for the English specific classes tomorrow.

For the maths class, the students did a test, which took them about an hour. From this we can decide the students level and how to pitch the rest of the classes.

I'm here to help with the Maths too if you need it. Ichi, ni, san . . . Saw your son in the library today.

Cool, thanks for this William. I find that the students know the equations, but putting theory through to practice is a big step - as well as getting them to explain the process, all in English.
