(Dan Tri) - In the recent 10th grade entrance exam, 5 classes in Hanoi had 100% of students passing the entrance exam to specialized schools. What is the secret of the teachers who are homeroom teachers in these classes?

Ms. Tran Thi Minh Chau: Treat students like little friends, students can update more than her

Ms. Tran Thi Minh Chau - English teacher - is the homeroom teacher of two classes 9A1 and 9A2 (English-oriented) of Archimedes Academy Secondary School. A total of 61 students of the two classes passed 100% of the entrance exams to specialized schools in Hanoi .

Ms. Chau has been with the students of classes 9A1 and 9A2 since grade 6. Being the homeroom teacher of two classes at the same time is a big challenge for her at work. Assisting her in class management are 3 vice homeroom teachers. For her part, Ms. Chau is in charge of professional matters, while also paying close attention to the psychological development and spiritual life of the students.

During the teaching process, Ms. Chau always pays attention to assigning just enough homework, so that students do not have to study too much, but still have enough homework to practice regularly every day. In addition, the members of the class are very active in extracurricular activities, sports , arts, and proactively cultivate social interaction skills...

Ms. Chau's strategy to win over her students as a homeroom teacher is to always treat them as little friends. She considers herself a companion and guide for them in their studies and life.

She always respects her students' knowledge. They are now exposed to a variety of information sources, so they can quickly grasp new knowledge. Students can even try to "ask difficult questions" to their teachers about unique and rare areas of language knowledge.

When faced with such situations, Ms. Chau always shows respect for the knowledge that students have acquired, because in the digital age, students can update faster than teachers. If she does not have an answer right away, Ms. Chau will frankly tell her students that she needs more time to find out. Sometimes, she suggests that students share new knowledge so that she and other students can hear.

In addition, to increase closeness with students, Ms. Chau also constantly updates to grasp the popular trends that students love.

In the process of facing the pressure of studying and taking exams, there are students who handle the pressure very well, but there are also students who are weaker mentally. Ms. Chau always tries to coordinate with parents to have a way to dialogue and support each student individually.

She cares about the physical and mental health, study habits and living habits of students, to help them have the best balance. In particular, she always reminds herself to look at the problem from the students' perspective, to be able to truly understand and support them most effectively.

Ms. Pham Thi Huong: Becoming a friend and guide of students

Ms. Pham Thi Huong - chemistry teacher - is the homeroom teacher of class 9HM at Hoang Mai Secondary School. All 24 students in class 9HM were admitted to prestigious specialized schools in Hanoi.

Ms. Huong said that in her final year of high school, in order to best accompany her students, she always took the initiative to share with them, to quickly grasp their thoughts and aspirations. She oriented herself to become a friend, a leader, and an effective guide for her students.

The students of class 9HM are all well-behaved and good at studying. In the class, the teacher established groups of students with strengths in different subjects. The groups will have the task of cooperating and supporting each other, so that the whole class can progress in their studies.

When taking on the role of homeroom teacher, Ms. Huong always focuses on how to make students truly love and respect her. She "conquers" students by showing her dedication to teaching, sincere concern and fair treatment among students.

She always encourages her students to speak their minds, especially when they have problems in their studies or among friends. When they are open and frank in sharing, she always listens, responds gently and patiently, until they feel truly convinced. This has helped her quickly "conquer" the 9HM collective when receiving the first class of grade 9.

Excellent students are often those with strong personalities and a great need to prove themselves, so when they have questions about their scores or have small conflicts with each other, Ms. Huong sees this as an opportunity for open dialogue, convincing students with her knowledge, understanding, and ingenuity.

In addition, being the head teacher of a class with many excellent students also gives Ms. Huong a "headache" in her own way. In fact, excellent students always have competition and rivalry in their studies.

Understanding the competitive mentality of her excellent students to prove themselves, Ms. Huong always emphasizes a simple thing to them: "If you want to go far, you have to go together." She encourages them to support each other in their studies, so that the whole class can progress together and achieve great goals in the transfer exam.

When she sees students who put too much pressure on themselves to get perfect scores, she always has appropriate measures to help them balance it out. There are students who are so passionate about studying that they are willing to stay up all night to study, she also proactively coordinates with parents to help them change their thinking, understand the importance of getting enough sleep, staying healthy, and studying in the long term.

During group activities, Ms. Huong always takes the initiative to ask questions to understand the students. If the students feel that there is something difficult to say, they can share it with her privately. Ms. Huong will have a different approach, care and share with each student.

She also always encourages and rewards students promptly when they make progress in their studies and training. She respects each student's individuality and encourages them to develop their strengths.

Teacher Nguyen Dac Thang: Becoming an idol of students, taking advantage of idol psychology

Mr. Nguyen Dac Thang - math teacher - is the homeroom teacher of class 9A at Hanoi - Amsterdam High School for the Gifted. All 29 students of class 9A passed the entrance exams to specialized schools in Hanoi.

Mr. Thang said that during his time as the students' homeroom teacher in the last two years of high school, he always focused on helping students develop in a balanced and comprehensive way through diverse extracurricular programs.

As the homeroom teacher of a math class with all students being good at studying, excellent, and competing with each other to learn and assert themselves, Mr. Thang also has to focus on helping students understand about healthy competition.

According to Mr. Thang, excellent students will cause "headaches" in the style of... excellent students. They are very eager to learn, like to learn knowledge beyond their level, like to prove themselves by solving problems at a level beyond the knowledge they are learning. Even if the solution is not wrong, if taken to the exam, they will have serious problems, even not getting points.

Mr. Thang's motto as a homeroom teacher is to always let students be free to be themselves, but everything must take place within the allowed framework. Students can freely express themselves, but when there are signs of "going outside the framework", he will have to correct them.

According to Mr. Thang, the better students are at studying, the more "stubborn" they tend to be. Sometimes, he has to accept that they will fail in things that are not so important, so that they can understand how wrong they were to be "stubborn".

Teacher Thang uses the tactic of turning himself into an "idol" of his students, taking advantage of the idol mentality that teenagers often have, to conquer the students.

According to Mr. Thang, once students are conquered, they will be very excited to listen to the teacher's instructions and directions. However, to become an "idol" of a group of excellent students is not simple, Mr. Thang must pay attention to building his own style, so that students are truly attracted and convinced.

He always aims for a youthful, modern, cheerful, open-minded style, with many talents, knowledge in many fields, and rich in practical experience...

In particular, teachers must constantly update the trends, trends, and hot characters that students are interested in, in order to truly penetrate the world of students, creating conditions for understanding and sharing from both sides.

Once you have conquered your students, everything will happen naturally and automatically. Then, your students will be self-aware in everything.

Master Tang Hai Tuan: There are rewards and punishments, punishments must also "regard the problem"

Mr. Tang Hai Tuan - physics teacher - is the homeroom teacher of class 9C2 (physics-oriented class) at Archimedes Academy Secondary School. All 32 students of class 9C2 passed the entrance exam to specialized schools in the recent 10th grade entrance exam.

Mr. Tuan said that when he received the first class of grade 9, he determined that he had to impress his students with interesting and unique physics knowledge. Solid professional knowledge and interesting teaching methods are important to "conquer" a class of many excellent students.

The 9th grade requires students to have a high level of concentration in studying. The students of class 9C2 also try hard to participate in excellent student competitions and actively prepare for the entrance exam for the physics major at many specialized schools. In general, the pressure of studying and taking exams in the final year is not small.

To help students have balanced development, teachers always encourage students to participate in sports activities at school, so that they have the opportunity to experience and train themselves outside of studying.

Class 9C2 has many students who are good at studying and have strong personalities. Mr. Tuan always shows respect for each student's style and personality. However, because they are in the turbulent age of puberty, Mr. Tuan also understands that some students have not yet developed the ability to control themselves well.

Sometimes, some children are so naughty that they lose concentration and make the same mistakes over and over again. If not corrected promptly, their learning outcomes may be affected.

At this time, Mr. Tuan will find a suitable punishment, which is both punitive and beneficial for the students. For example, he will ask the students to copy new English words, so that they can both memorize the vocabulary and have time to sit quietly and become self-aware.

The teacher always focuses on timely encouragement and rewards, as well as timely reminders and punishments. In addition, to help students balance better and bond more with each other outside of learning activities, the teacher and the parents' committee often plan and organize group activities such as watching movies, picnics, etc.
