Tutor

I tutor a elementary school student girl, she is 6th grade, preparing for the entrance exam of private junior high. And I also did took the entrance exam for junior high. In Japan, entrance exam for junior high called "中学受験" is now really prevalent, especially Tokyo metropolitan.
And she is going to have a test tomorrow which is real part. But generally, exam is held in February. And in most cases, students take a test in January means that is practice for the test that is for the school they want to go. I did that too. But it is interesting that go take test before the important test. Well, I did that too. I hope my student will do well.

Now, the main reason why entrance exam is popular is parents want stability for their child, basically they want their child enter school that guarantee students to go straight to its relevant university without test or school that teaches student really hard that a lot of students from that school go to best university (e.g. Tokyo Univ). Anyway, it is all about stability.
