立宜學術中心提供完整妥善升學輔導計劃。
紐約訊 August 03, 2013 06:00 AM
美國有很多名校都把入學申請的截止日期設定在學期開始前的10個月，許多教育專家們多數建議愈早著手準備申請就愈有利。當然若是能找到一位專業的升學顧問 在旁細心輔導，那將會更加事半功倍。到底要如何挑選好的升學顧問？這本身就是一門大學問，就讓輔導經驗豐富，口碑甚佳的「立宜學術中心」(Lee Academia) 來幫助您吧！立宜學術中心的特點在於創辦人李宜雰(Stephenie Lee)自己本身畢業於哥倫比亞大學，畢業後曾擔任過哥大入學面試人，對於整個升學的申請過程和細節都能聊若指掌。尤其該中心的諮詢方式走向家教式與網路 式，學生們可以投過網路上直接與中心的專家做諮詢與溝通，若有需要，該中心還可以派出顧問前往大紐約地區的學生們家中作些先進的專業輔導。
該 中心會1.確定學生們得到適當又適用的學術課程和校園環境，2.成功的開發強而有力的入學申請，3.完成入學申請和測試的最後期限，4.書寫動態論文和個 人陳述，5. 建立有效的學術活動計劃，6.確保適當的課程選擇，7.開發引人注目的經歷表/簡歷，8.打動面試官，9.最高限度地提高獎學金和財政援助，10.提升和 提高SAT / SAT 的主題/ AP學校的成績等。
有較於其他市面上的升學輔導行業，該中心負責人李宜雰不但是全國大學申請諮詢協會 (NACAC)的成員之一，一切的標準和規範皆按照著主流的程式進行。有著諮詢多年經驗的李老師之前在大紐約地區的多家升學輔導中心，也已經非常成功的輔 導過許多學生們進入各大公私立常春藤名校，她日前也應邀前往布碌崙的升學輔導講座中分享了心得。目前還親手創著有幾本關於申請大學的論文和填寫經歷表的工 作簿，有興趣者可以自行上該中心官網查詢更多細節。

鮑愛奇會計師講解申請助學金的有關問題。(攝影：杜國輝/大紀元)
【大紀元2013年06月09日訊】（大紀元記者杜國輝紐約報導）6月8日，由布碌崙亞裔聯盟 (Brooklyn Asian Voice Organization, BRAVO) 舉辦的「申請大學講座」 假位於11大道及65街的布碌崙189初中舉行。資深財務計劃會計師鮑愛奇，教育專家、升大學諮詢顧問李宜雰和BRAVO創辦人王莉莉等3位主講人就家長 應如何在平時培養孩子的自信、在申請大學的過程中具體的注意事項，以及收入一般的父母如何幫助孩子申請助學金等話題介紹了各自的心得，近300名家長、孩 子參加了講座。許多家長在現場作筆記。 講座主辦者、布碌崙亞裔聯盟發起人王莉莉介紹，隨著大學入學申請時間的臨近，許多華人父母開始緊張。他們希望自己的孩子能 夠在申請學校時能充分表現出自己的內在質量，表現出自信，但是自信不是在申請學校之前幾天就能建立的。她建議家長：平時就要正面對待孩子們的考試情況。 「正面的鼓勵可以讓孩子在今後做的更好，而負面的言語只會讓孩子們失去自信。」
升大學諮詢顧問李宜雰畢業於哥倫比亞大學，畢業後曾一度擔任 哥大入學面試人，她根據自己的體會介紹了為什麼需要讀大學、學生在申請學校過程中需要注意的問題以及面試中的關鍵。她介紹，不讀大學，自己將來的就業範圍 會非常小，收入當然也會差距很大。所以在申請大學之前，要讓孩子自己清楚為什麼要讀大學。經過認真準備、寄出申請材料後，有些學校會有面試。「面試時要充 分表現出自己的自信，在回答需要解釋的問題時，要對問題做儘量充分的解釋。特別是學生和考官要有目光接觸。我曾遇到一個非常優秀的學 生，GPA4.0，SAT滿分，課外表現也很不錯，但是在面試時他目光游移，沒有讓人感到他的自信，結果錄取受到影響。」李宜雰說。

鮑 愛奇會計師主要講申請助學金的有關問題。他說，家長應該在申請學校的同時申請助學金，要相信自己的孩子能夠入學，應該同時申請多個學校，以保證能夠有選擇 最好學校的機會。申請的助學金的金額是學費減去家庭總收入所能支付的學費金額後的差額。在申請助學金時要有孩子高中畢業前一年家庭納稅的稅表，但是如果因 申請時間無法提供稅表，可以提供估計數，如果獲得助學金，該助學金的金額也會是估計的，最後的數字還要等學生家長提供了確切的稅務數字後確定。王莉莉介紹，根據預先的登記，原以為這次活動不會超過100人參加，但看到人們的踴躍參加非常高興。

Technically Homeschooled - guest blog
Technically Homeschooled Filed under: Daily News,Educational Adventures — Tags: Homeschool com, homeschooled — dailynews @ 8:00 pm The following is a Guest Blog post from Homeschool.com reader Stephenie, about being “technically” homeschooled. :)
I grew up with two cultures : Chinese and American. With a strict, typical Asian Tiger Mom (a term from Amy Chua’s “The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother”), actually, my mother was The Mother of all Tiger Moms, I grew up with a fully-packed busy schedule. However, my mother also did allow me daily study breaks; I was encouraged to go outside to meet with friends and neighbors. I was encouraged to play sports, play basketball, and join the track & field and tennis teams. I would have to say, despite given the opportunity to play the piano and violin (typical instruments for Chinese children), and to go through intense Chinese school lessons every Saturday, I had the opportunity to grow and develop into who I am today. Today, as an Educational Consultant, Educator, Author, and Blogger, I always think back to how it all started and I see the benefits of Homeschooling. I went through the public school educational system. Every day, I woke up at 6:00AM, took the school bus to school, went to homeroom and began the full schedule until 1:53PM. Then I would stay at school until 5:00PM for tennis or track practice. I was involved with every school extracurricular club. And if there wasn’t a club at our school, I would ask to start it. Fortunately, this allowed me to take on leadership roles.
My public school teachers were all great teachers. I respect each and every one of them. However, I felt that the school was always lacking something, and I didn’t know what it was. I felt homework was not sufficient (and I couldn’t announce this in school, otherwise the other students would all hate me), so I had to ask the teachers, if there were more readings that needed to be done after classes. They were always surprised with my asking and didn’t expect any student to approach them for MORE homework. That’s when I realized I would just have to go ahead and learn things on my own. I would gather other resources, use other textbooks and look up things online. I was beginning to self-teach myself a lot of subjects. I did this for all my school classes. When I was done with homework, I would continue to stay at my desk to look at the next few chapters (basically previewing for the following weeks to come).
I was such a nerd, I went ahead to even create my own homework assignments, in secret, of course. If the school teacher asked for 10 words to look up, I looked up the next 20 on my own. If the teacher asked us to only read chapters 1-2 in our AP English Literature course, I read the entire book. It’s not that I wouldn’t follow directions, but education was addicting. I wanted to always learn something and to learn more. I think this was something my mother had instilled in me; time was never wasted, and learning is forever. I even learned AP Biology on my own, when my school schedule didn’t allow for me to take both AP Calculus BC and AP Biology simultaneously.
After my piano lesson, I would go home to practice what my instructor assigned to me, then I went ahead to learn the other parts of my piece on my own until I mastered it, and then, I’d go on ahead and play the entire musical number until I perfected it. So when my next piano lesson came along, I’d be able to move onto another musical piece. When I began to teach other students privately, I knew that I couldn’t expect the same from my students. I would need to break a musical piece into 5 parts (usually taking one month long to learn one entire piece) for the student to understand, practice, and master. I didn’t want to be that Tiger Mom figure and scare my students.
My mother’s strictness of not letting me get up out of my seat while doing homework, making me practice the piano or violin daily for 1-2 hours, and not letting me quit Chinese school so easily, has allowed me to develop into who I am today. Once I am involved with something, I do not easily give it up; I am determined to finish what I started. I was given opportunities to learn and expand my horizons. Back then, I hated the fact that my mother was “molding” me, “so mean” and “forced me” to do things, but I have learned to enjoy and appreciate that I was given the chance to foster techniques, learn new things and these activities have become my passion and interests. With my mother’s sacrifices and encouragement in education and learning, I have technically homeschooled myself in many ways. As an educator now, I feel that I can relate with many of the homeschooled students I work with and I have learned many things from them, as well.
