说句实在的，靠各种课外班可以提高成绩的学生真的不适合来美国读书

国内和美国学校的考核标准不同，单从提高成绩来讲，建议孩子先研究清楚这门课的考核标准如何，可以询问老师和学长，再有的放矢地制定学习计划。

与提高成绩相比，锻炼和提升沟通能力更为重要，以此为契机多跟老师同学交流。

美国的孩子在竞争激烈的私校补习的也许不比国内的孩子少。留学生因为语言原因，初来美国会遇上不少学习上的困难，如果有可能找人补习一下，事半功倍，可以增加孩子的自信心，帮助孩子度过难关。我因有在美国高中任教数学物理十多年的经验，帮助过不少留学生补习数学和物理的，包括AP微积分BC和AP物理Ｃ。去年我有一位辅导过多年的大陆留学生SAT拿了满分的，11年级修AP微积分BC轻松拿5分，去了芝加哥大学。

一般有些学生会利用暑假回国，先把下一年的重点科目先学一遍，如果现在开学期间需要补课，可以考虑在周末时利用视频补课。

自己先预习一下。上完课后不懂多问老师。下来再多复习和练习。自学能力很重要。

主要还是要靠自己.预习加复习. 有疑难问题的话,可以找任课老师. 在上课前或者office hour找老师解答. 还有可以参加下午的study hall.
另外可以有意识地和几个小伙伴组成学习小组,家庭作业有疑问的地方可以互相讨论.

This is because in the US, the schools want the students to be mature and independent, and that is why they do not encourage students to have tutors. If students have questions about a certain subject, the teachers are generally very happy to work with the students after classes. Here are some other suggestions on how to be a successful student in the US. Some of the things are similar to China, but there are some other points that are unique to international school settings.

Try to encourage your child to develop the qualities of a successful student:
1. Make his or her studies a priority.
2. Be punctual.
3. Work honestly.
4. Stay focused.
5. Don’t compare him or herself to anyone else.
6. Work on making incremental progress.
7. Get excited about the material.
How to succeed in the classroom:
1. Pay attention.
2. Take notes.
3. Ask questions.
4. Participate.
5. Avoid distractions in the classroom.
6. Develop positive relationships with your teachers.
7. Sit near the teacher if you can.
How to succeed in his or her studies.
1. Create a game plan for each study session.
2. Plug his or her study sessions into the schedule.
3. Find a studying method that suits his or her learning style; find out whether he or she is a visual, auditory or kinesthetic learner.
4. Take breaks.
5. Avoid distractions.
6. Use the school’s resources.
7. Be creative.
8. Get a study buddy or study group.
9. Remember to have fun.
