Volume 1: Chapter 14 - A Terrifying Talent
After eating, Su Jun realized he had eaten five bowls of rice.
He felt a little embarrassed.
He decided that later in class, he would definitely work hard and make sure to teach every student, no matter how poor their grades.
Then he found Shen Wei and said, "Can I go see my student now?"
Shen Wei took him to a separate classroom where He Lingfeng was waiting.
Su Jun was quite surprised, "Just one student?"
Shen Wei said, "Yes."
It was the first time Su Jun felt a little embarrassed to take the 200 yuan fee.
He felt the meal he just ate could almost cover the tuition!
This was a kindergarten, with a blackboard, computers, tablets, and other learning tools. Su Jun immediately understood that they wanted him to use modern computer-aided teaching methods.
He then asked about his student's learning level and was stunned. He Lingfeng had attended kindergarten for a few days.
He was supposed to start from elementary school, but in reality, he needed to learn 1+1 for math.
For Chinese, he needed to learn initials, finals, and writing characters.
For English, he needed to start from A, B, C, D.
For someone who had been in the top three in his high school, teaching elementary school was a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but he still planned to teach wholeheartedly.
He found this little kid was quite smart and could quickly grasp what he taught.
In just one hour.
They had gone from first grade to third grade in all three subjects.
Su Jun didn't know if he was lecturing too fast, as he had never taught such young children before.
After each lesson, he would give a test.
These were all from extra-curricular workbooks, with no questions beyond the curriculum.
He had originally planned to teach ten lessons, but he finished everything in one lesson.
The five-year-old He Lingfeng absorbed learning like a sponge, no matter how much he taught, he could take it all in, which delighted Su Jun.
Su Jun didn't want to dwell on 1+1 over and over.
Especially since he had seen jokes online about parents getting so frustrated with this problem that they had a breakdown.
Fortunately, he encountered a smart child.
With the child's intelligence, combined with Su Jun being a true scholar, the two studied at a breakneck pace.
He enjoyed teaching, and the child enjoyed learning.
In just one hour, he already felt extremely tired because he was teaching three subjects simultaneously.
Even he, the teacher, felt exhausted, let alone the child being able to keep going.
When he heard his phone ringing, the hour was over. Su Jun said, "I'll leave you some worksheets. Do them whenever you have time."
"Also, practice writing. You know the content now, but writing well doesn't happen overnight." He then gave him some copybooks to trace characters.
He would come back next week.
Planning to check his homework then.
He assigned him 10 copybook pages and one set of worksheets per day.
Seeing He Lingfeng obediently nodded, even Su Jun couldn't help but pat the little kid's head, thinking this kid was quite adorable!
As he was leaving, he told Shen Wei, then left, making an appointment for next week.
He then successfully received his 200 yuan hourly wage.
Before coming, he thought this salary was very high.
Many people would envy it, but after actually doing it, teaching three subjects up to third grade simultaneously was too much.
His one hour of talking almost equaled a week's worth.
If going by the pace, this 200 yuan was an absolute bargain.
But he was willing to do it.
The first student was smart, and second, the kindergarten food was too delicious. College students all have this principle: if you treat me well, I'll definitely treat you even better in return.
After returning, he told his roommates about the food he ate again, successfully making them drool uncontrollably.
Seeing his roommates' envious, ravenous expressions was so satisfying.
By the second week, he had prepared more course materials and materials.
After all, he might as well make use of the advanced computer equipment if it was available.
The first thing he did was, of course, to enjoy a hearty meal at the cafeteria.
Today's dishes were different, with large greasy meat buns, made the old-fashioned way, fist-sized, and made with quality ingredients and delicious.
A variety of dishes vied for attention, this was not kindergarten fare, it would be more than enough to serve leaders.
After eating here, he could barely stand the food at his university for a week.
The difference between the food here and there was too great.
Eating here made him feel alive, so after eating, he first went to grade the homework, which didn't take up tutoring time.
When Su Jun opened it, he saw the child's writing was a bit childish at first, but gradually became neater, and in just one week, his writing became very upright.
This was very good for a five-year-old child.
Even he was very satisfied, realizing this was the joy of being a teacher, the tremendous sense of achievement when a child makes progress.
This feeling couldn't be experienced elsewhere.
Looking further, the math was all correct, English all correct, characters all correct.
He used a teaching method for adults on this young child.
Su Jun was completely unaware of how terrifying this teaching method was, because Chinese required writing practice, math required calculation, and English required recitation practice.
The three were completely different modes.
And he was dealing with just a five-year-old child.
They were both new, Su Jun was teaching such a young child for the first time, and He Lingfeng was having a private tutor for the first time.
The two boldly taught and boldly learned.
Forcibly achieving a very harmonious feeling.
He Lingfeng's genius was revealed, but Su Jun was still unaware of the seriousness of the issue at this point.
The previous lesson went from first to third grade for the three subjects of Chinese, math, and English.
Today, using just one hour, he covered fourth to sixth grade for all of them.
Although it was only elementary school material, he was dealing with a five-year-old child.
The math curriculum had already started covering algebraic equations.
Each time he gave a question, the other party answered it quickly. Sometimes he didn't believe it and would intentionally ask questions slightly beyond the curriculum, but unexpectedly the other party could still answer.
Even Su Jun, who wasn't very sensitive, found it terrifying.
At this rate, he would soon have nothing left to teach.
After all, he was only a first-year university student this year.
The other party used two hours to catch up on six years of curriculum, what kind of monster was this? He was dumbfounded.
When leaving, Shen Wei still gave him the money.
Su Jun had a feeling of wanting to say something but holding back.
Shen Wei asked, "What's wrong? Is he not learning well?"
Su Jun said, "No, no, he's quite capable."
Shen Wei said, "You're also quite capable!"
She knew he was a top student. That's why she felt reassured leaving the child with him.
Moreover, this learning pace was comfortable for He Lingfeng.
If a genius was treated as an ordinary child, that kind of constant cramming education would make him weary.
After all, He Lingfeng was certified as a genius by the system.
