Founded in Beijing in 1999, Longwen is one of the earliest education and training institutions in China. At the beginning of its establishment, Longwen quickly occupied the teaching and auxiliary market with 1-to-1 tutoring and low prices, which were rare at that time, and expanded rapidly. After just 6 years of establishment, more than 1,200 branches have been opened, which is known as the "Shaxian snack" of the training industry. Although Longwen fell out of the first echelon under the impact of major high-quality training institutions, it is still a leader in domestic primary and secondary school training institutions.
According to Long Wen's introduction, its teaching team is composed of psychological experts, learning managers, front-line teachers, senior teachers in key schools and gatekeeping experts. In fact, students are generally exposed to only learning managers and instructors. Most of the teachers taught by Longwen are young teachers, including part-time teachers and full-time teachers in public and private schools. Longwen has a high threshold for teacher selection, requiring a normal bachelor's degree, more than 2 years of educational experience and teacher qualification certificate. All teachers need to undergo a two-month training before they can take up their posts, which ensures the quality of teaching to a certain extent.
Longwen, which emphasizes personalized counseling, only offers 1-to-1 personalized counseling, including three stages: diagnostic classes, personalized counseling and regular diagnostic testing. The first class is a diagnostic class, and the tutor understands the specific learning level of the students through communication with them, including knowledge mastery, problem solving ideas, etc., and then formulates a targeted teaching and auxiliary plan accordingly. In the personalized tutoring, Longwen's teachers focus on cultivating students' interest in learning, mobilizing their enthusiasm for learning, and correcting bad learning habits, hoping that students will shift from passive learning to active learning.
Finally, at the end of a learning cycle, teachers and students work together to summarize the learning results. All the students' lesson plans, quizzes and other materials will be organized in an independent file box, and parents can refer to them at any time to understand their children's learning situation.
Longwen's signboards are printed with the "Error Correction Center", and Longwen attaches great importance to the correction of learning errors. Teachers will make a special set of mistakes for students to let them know their weak knowledge points. For the knowledge of common mistakes, it is also targeted to improve the training. In addition, Longwen has launched an online teaching tutoring APP called 59 Wrong Questions, which allows students to take photos and upload the wrong questions encountered in learning, and teachers can organize and prepare lessons through the APP, which is very convenient.
Learning is ultimately the student's own business, and relying on tutors to teach and supervise learning is not the best way to do so. Having the motivation to learn actively and learning to use effective learning methods is the long-term solution.
In addition to the teachers and teaching mode, the price is also the key point of Longwen to attract parents. After repeated price increases, Xueersi's 1-to-1 course has been close to 700 yuan, and the pricing of other teaching and auxiliary institutions is generally between 300 yuan and 500 yuan, while Longwen's 1-to-1 course is priced at 250 yuan to 300 yuan, which is even cheaper than the small class classes of many institutions. At the same time, after attending classes twice a week, Longwen also gives evening care services. Objectively speaking, in extracurricular tutoring, it is not the higher the price, the better, but more importantly, to find a serious and responsible teacher who is suitable for the child. If the child's foundation is not bad, there is still a certain degree of enthusiasm for learning, and the parents' budget is not high, Longwen is a recommended choice.
Students can try out the course before enrolling. After each class, the teacher will post the lesson plan and learning content on the WeChat group. In addition, teachers regularly conduct WeChat return visits or face-to-face communication with parents to understand their children's learning status at home and recent academic performance.
