A1. Take four steps:

Step 1: Click the link below to register so that we can create an account for you.

    https://www.alltopschool.com/main.php?page=checkRegistrationForm

Step 2: Once you submit the above registration form, you will automatically receive an email. In the email, new students will be asked to take an assessment test. The email will provide login information, including website, user name and temporary password. After the student logs in, please upload the profile picture as required, change the password, and then you can see the test. The test is usually one hour long. Once clicked, the exam will start immediately, and the timer will start. If the student does not finish within one hour, the system will automatically submit the answer sheet.

Step 3: You will receive another email, which tells you which course the student should take based on the assessment results. The email will tell you the schedule and starting date of the class, tuition standard, payment requirements, payment guidance, etc.

Step 4: Pay the tuition fee as required, and we will add the course to the student's account. You will receive emails for a tuition receipt and a welcome message with some instructions.

If you do not receive the email, please check your Junk/Spam Folder.

No, please call us if you forget the information.

No, we have his ( her ) study record, and we will arrange into an appropriate lesson. If you have questions, please give us a call.

Our assessment is to test what the student has already learned, not what he ( she ) will learn.

We evaluate the students according to national standards. Because the curriculum standards of different schools and counties are different. If he ( she ) can complete the test questions independently and get more than 80% correct, we can consider giving him ( her ) another test for a higher grade.

Unfortunately not, because there is only one time period for each level.

  If the student's assessment test score exceeds 50%, you can discuss with us to see if the student can be promoted to the class of a higher level. If the student's assessment test is below 20%, see if it is possible to lower the level of the class.

Yes, for example, if you are scheduled to go to Friday 5:15pm-7:15pm, then your child will continue to attend the lesson at this time, from the fourth grade to the fifth grade, sixth grade, seventh grade, Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, Precalculus, all the way to AP Calculus. That means, as the course goes on, the content will be automatically upgraded without changing the time schedule.

As stated in the previous question, your child will continue in this time period, from fifth grade to sixth grade, seventh grade, Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, Precalculus, AP Calculus. As the course progresses, the content will be automatically upgraded without having to change shifts and time.

Tuition is paid every 12 times, but the courses are always moving forward. After twelve times of lessons, your child will remain in the class unless you are no longer interested. The class continues from this level until we finish all the courses including high school AP class. The cycle of tuition is not the same as the lesson.

Our grade level is based on the national standard. Even for the fifth grade class, the learning standard may be equivalent to the seventh or eighth grade in some schools. We group the classes according to the level of the students.

Our assessment tests have clearly shown the actual level of the students. We don't want to put a student in a class that makes him (her) feel too easy to learn, and we should not put him (her) in a class that makes him ( her ) too difficult.

Yes, but please discuss it with our teacher, because the teacher knows your child's level and gives your advice.

Not true. The purpose you send your kid to us is to improve his (her) logic thinking skill, problem-solving ability, in-depth learning concepts, and improvement of overall math skills, so that he (she) can easily be adapt to any new topic and new subject. In fact, it doesn't matter what content or concept a student learns in school, the most important thing is that he (she) builds a solid foundation and learned some fundamental problem-solving skills. With the solid foundation built up, he (she) will not have any problems in school math learning.

Yes, but if he (she) is a student below the ninth grade, he or she should follow our suggestion.

Because we determine the placement based on the evaluation test results, there is no problem if he (she) is put into the class in the middle since he (she) already has the knowledge for the content that he (she) missed in our lessons.

Our assignment is an in-depth and comprehensive exercise, the purpose is to let students master the basic concepts, understand problem-solving methods and improve their problem-solving skills from different levels and types of questions. Our homework has three levels of questions: low, middle and high. It is normal for him (her) to have some questions that he (she) cannot solve. If he (she) can do more than 40% correctly every time, it means that his (her) basic concepts and skills are okay, and he (she) can continue to follow the lessons. If he (she) occasionally does poorly, there should be various factors, so don't panic. If he (she) can only do less than 10% right every time, you can consider letting him (her) go to an easier class since he (she) still has more fundamental knowledge to catch up. You can give us a call to discuss about the re-placement.

Some chapters are relatively easy, if only this chapter he (she) did well, we still can't conclude yet. If he (she) feels easy in different chapters in a row, then he (she) should be advanced to the next level of class. Please give us a call to discuss for the re-placement.

Our teaching system is a rich and flexible system. Not limited by time, not limited by distance. The dynamic on-screen diagrams and demonstration make boring topic interesting. The well-designed Power Point presentation, and the dynamic selecting examples from question bank creates an environment that has better effectiveness than in-person classroom. The powerful system is the product from Alltop School's 20 years of experience and the mature learning environment and models. Many tasks can be done with one click. Any mobile phone, tablet or computer can allow students to access the homework page and live-stream class. The students' homework is assigned on time, and it is graded with instant feedback and scoring, and automatic report of errors. The teacher can view the statistical reports at different levels and detailed homework error summaries. In the lesson, there is no waste of a second, the difficult problems are explained in detail, and the students' common mistakes are corrected in time. This system is unique in the world, and it is deep, accurate and intelligent. At the same time, we record the class videos, and students can play back after class to fill any gaps and ensure comprehensive coverage and thorough understanding. The system is a highly optimized intelligent teaching environment. 

Each lesson is taught for two hours per week. During class, the teacher will do the following:

1) If there are new concepts, the teacher will introduce the concepts and teach students how to answer related questions through examples. The teacher will explain three new things: new concepts, new methods, and new problem types.

2) If you are reviewing the content of the same chapter, the teacher will explain it in order according to the difficulty level of the homework from the report. During the explanation process, concepts will be consolidated, the method for solving the problems will be emphasized, and related strategies will be taught and summarized.

3) The teacher will ask some students who have answered correctly, so that the teacher and other students understand his ideas.

4) The teacher will ask some students who can't do it or make mistakes for the problem, so that the other students learn the mistakes, so as to strengthen the related concepts.

No. As mentioned in the previous question, if there is no new concepts in the next practice, the teacher will focus on the current homework explanation, analysis, and teach them how to apply the concepts they have learned and how to solve problems. If the next homework has new concepts, this class will focus on teaching them the new topic by a detailed presentation or giving them examples.

If he (she) can understand most of the questions explained, he (she) has already made great progress. Due to time constraints, it is impossible to answer every question during the two hours.  If a student can digest the content explained by the teacher every week, he (she) will continue to improve. 

In addition, we intentionally provide many questions, so that students have the opportunity to get exposure to full and in-depth practice, and some of them will be challenging.

If there are repeated questions that you can't do, you can also send us an email, and the teacher will try to answer when he becomes free.

We have many ordinary classes with different levels. In our school, competition subjects only account for 10%, so most students study in regular classes.

Yes. According to our survey, most of students feel much better online than in person. Our own software makes the online learning experience unique and interesting for students. Over the past three years our students have given very positive comments for taking online classes. We have conducted a survey, and more than 90% of students and parents request to continue to stay online.

Here are a few advantages:

1) Save a lot of time for students and parents.

2) Give parents a chance to conveniently supervise teachers and their children. Our teachers are all equipped with large screen monitors, and every movement of the students is within the teacher's sight, which is actually easier to supervise clearly than in a physical classroom.

3) Online teaching, there is no discipline problem, the teachers do not spend extra time to maintain order.

4) The teacher can dynamically open materials, examples, and Power Point on the computer at any time, without spending time writing on the blackboard, and the teacher can quickly draw pictures, highlight, etc. through the software, which greatly improves the efficiency.

5) Students can share the screen to show their ideas and solutions, which is clearer than showing on the blackboard in the classroom.

6) We can record the whole class, and students can play back even if they are absent from class, without missing any content. If students do not fully understand in class, they can also apply for video recording and play back the class content as many times as they want.

It is more difficult to record offline classes, and there are many interference factors.

So please don't use general online lessons to define our online teaching, once you take our lessons, we guarantee you will come to different conclusions.

As long as you log in to their account, they will find the Zoom Link and other relevant information.

Here are some comparisons.

We have our own teaching materials. For each chapter, teachers have complete Power Point, including concept introduction, concept development, sample questions, problem-solving methods and strategies, difficulty analysis, etc.

Students will immediately see new assignments in their accounts after each class. The amount of homework is about 50 questions, which are classified as easy, middle and challenging questions. Homework is used to consolidate concepts, train thinking, and master basic knowledge and basic skills.

Homework questions are hierarchical, changeable, flexible and diverse, and easy to understand. Students can gradually improve their problem-solving ability through different types of problems assigned.

We adopt national syllabus and requirements. Our chapter order may be different than your school's, but it's all the topics students must learn before they graduate high school. Because the syllabus of each school and each county is different, it is the best way to adopt the national standard.

What we teach is the national common requirement for mathematics. We teach the basic concepts and method of solving problems. If a student does not solve problems according to these methods, it only means that he (she) needs more training to make him or her better understand the concepts and strategies.

  Of course, we will teach students many problem-solving strategies and techniques to simplify complex problems, which is also the process of cultivating them to improve basic skills.

Our materials are all electronic. We teach the detailed content of each chapter in the classroom, and then students learn in depth through a large number of question-type exercises to improve their abilities. The homework itself is the key part. You can never learn math by only memorizing concepts, and you really improve yourself through practice.

On average, there are about 50 questions each time. If the overall task is relatively easy, there will be more than 60 or even 70 questions in the homework. If the homework is more difficult, the number of questions will become 30 to 40.

The amount of time each student spends will vary, some may only take one to two hours, while others may take more than five hours. New students may take a little longer.

Before the next class.

No. For multiple-choice questions, students have two chances to submit. For free formed questions, students have five chances. This is much better than answering questions on paper. One set of exercises with multiple attempts makes the practice very efficient.

Homework is automatically graded. Once the students submit their answers, the system will automatically give a correct or incorrect feedback, tick or cross. For the wrong questions, students can give a thought again. Think about the way that the problems are assigned on paper traditionally, you have to wait for the teacher to send back the homework to find out which ones are incorrect. There are not many opportunities to correct the answers on paper, so it is not efficient to learn that way. On the contrary, our homework system has greatly improved the efficiency of the students' learning.

Three weeks. Answer key will be posted two weeks after it is assigned.

Our homework is dynamically generated every week according to the level of the students in the class. There is no printed version.

At the top of the homework page, there is a "How to Enter Answers" button, which students can click to get a web page with detailed sample answers.

We didn't say that you can't help them with their homework, but we just suggest not to help them with new homework. On the student's homework page, you will see three assignments of homework, the top one is the latest homework, please let the students complete it independently, so that the teacher will know how much the students have really mastered, and the teacher will get an accurate report. The homework in the middle of the list is what the teacher has already explained in class, and parents can feel free to help them. The bottom homework on the list has answer keys shown with it, and students can compare their mistakes with the answer key.

   If you help children with newly assigned homework, not only will the teacher not get an accurate report, but your method may not be consistent with our requirements.

  In addition, if you help him (her) to solve the problem every time, he (she  will heavily rely on you as a habit in the future.

 In conclusion, you can help him (her) with old homework, not help him (her) with newly assigned homework.

In fact, every child will feel some difficulties at the beginning. Because we teach according to the national syllabus, it is higher than the requirements of the state and your school level. We don't want parents who have paid tuition to send their children here to learn nothing and make no progress. We want the students to be trained in accordance with the requirements of the standard, so that they can get a full range in-depth practice.

No. Only the questions in the competition class are the type of questions required by the competition. Regular mathematics lessons are all assigning questions with basic concept and basic skills, and they are all consolidated reviews of fundamental concepts. Although there are variations in problem types, it is just to let students understand the concepts from different angles. If your child thinks it is too challenging for the homework problems, there may be the following reasons: 1. Maybe his (her) foundation is weak, and he or she may need to move a lower class to make up for the foundation. 2. Maybe he (she) lacks training, and only if he (she) persists in training, he (she) will gradually feel easier.

  Our practice is not just to let students know a few names of the concepts, but to let them deeply understand concepts from various angles, so as to grasp the concepts in depth. Without practice in depth and breadth, they will leave many problems in the future, and even still have troubles during their college study.

Scan or take a photo of the student's answer sheet, upload it to the account through the "Upload Homework" link in the student account, and the teacher can review it.

If the student answers less than five questions, you will receive this notification.

Please send an email to request for an extension, please indicate the student's name and the day of the homework.

Please call us immediately, we can reset the exam paper so that he (she) can do it again. Sending an email or text message will not get an immediate reply.

We provide all classroom videos for playback.

There is a Tab in the student account: Videos, just click to see it. We will not send it through an email.

Two weeks.

Generally there is no problem, unless there is network blocking.

Please contact us when you come back, or send an email directly to ask for an extension of the recording.

The mathematics teachers are Dr. Chen, and a teacher who graduated from Harvard University, and a teacher who graduated from the United States with a Ph.D. in mathematics and ever graduated from the Department of Mathematics of the University of Science and Technology of China. The English teachers are an English teacher from a private school, and a teacher who graduated from Harvard University, and a student from Stanford University. Mathematics basic courses and competition courses are currently taught by Dr. Chen.

Generally, there are more than 10 students, and it varies with grades. However, online class sizes shouldn't make much of a difference. In each lesson, the teacher plays the main role, explaining the problems and teaching the students concepts and examples. Teachers can select students to answer questions based on test reports, but it will help the class understand the answers or understand the mistakes. So the result is not impacted by class size.

Of course you can. During class, students can raise their hands to tell the teacher that they did not understand, or request the teacher to explain the questions which have not been answered.

Once your child has completed the assessment test, we will send you an email with details of the tuition fee, because the tuition fee for each course is different.

  If you still have further question, you can give us a call.

We don't offer try-out classes. But if you insist on the trial lesson, we will charge the tuition fee of the trial class at double the price of one class.

If you register for math class and English class at the same time, you can get a one-time discount of $50 for English class tuition.

Even if a student is absent, he (she) can still get the complete class video, and he (she) can play it back at any time when he (she) is free. Homework is also open, and occasional absences from class will not be affected. When the student is absent from class due to his own reasons, the tuition fee will still be charged without credit.

We rarely change classes temporarily, unless the teacher is sick or there is an emergency. In this case, we will provide each absent student with a full class video to ensure that students do not miss anything.

Our classes will go forward all the time, you only need to renew the tuition for the next 12 lessons. There are no changes to classes or schedules.

We have a non-refund policy and cannot refund the remaining tuition fees. If it is a special case, it can be considered as a School Credit for future use. But it must be used within one year. Tuition may be transferred to new students, but not to current students enrolled in our school.

We will have holidays every year on major holidays, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's Day. You can see updates at the calendar link below. Holidays are not included in tuition fees payment.
